ratdog Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 you will need to adjust for the heat loss/leaf temps unless you are already battling it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you notice any difference in the bud yes, not really tbh, but then i haven't done many pure led grows due to temps being low most of the year. i did grow some monsters last summer under pure led, had about 8 ounces from a single goji og and it was a banger, so it's all good, better penetration with the led's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 What space are they going to be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettooth Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 @Tommytopper what @fatboy77 said. I think you're in a 1.2 x 2.4. you'll only need 2 of those 660w leds to cover that space (I'm using similar in a 1.5 x 3 and the coverage is fine) plus the photons the led kicks out will be probably equal to the lumens of those 3 600w hps combined, maybe more. A 600w led is on par with a 1000w hps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Is a quarter unused or for something else? Each light will pull 40oz and more if you have the skills, space and pheno's for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodwinked Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Interesting to see what the time difference will be if any from hps to leds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow lady Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) @Tommytopper led lights are different to hps and the watts are lower than the 600w the sold has most 600w led are pulling about 125w so not good enough for flowering However the maxibright daylight led 600w led are good lights im trying to save now to get them I have the maxibright led 200w for vegging and use a 400w hps for flowering and a heater set 25° which is in tent with in and out fan on twin fan controller good luck but leds are expensive for the good ones capable of flowering Edited March 24, 2022 by Owderb Quote removed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
