Starting a new grow, only 4 while I wait for them to get big enough to clone in some cheap Chinese cloner I picked up. I got some freebies some time ago from attitude by some breeder called The Plug Seedbank, so I am popping their Currylato, Spumoni, and Sorbet, as well as a Critical+ 2.0 by Dinafem.
I will be reversing one of them wither either CS or GA3 (likely the Spumoni) and crossing over to all of the others to have some more seed and potentially interesting future plants.

No, it's the one that came with the grow tent 'kit'.

I'm going to add another LED, but not sure what to get yet. I'm open to suggestions.....

Based on the specs and data I'd suggest looking into quantum boards. They've come down a little in price and use passive cooling instead of fans, so one less thing to potentially break over time .Also their diode life is rated for 100,000 hours. That's 11+ years if you ran it 24/7.

I'm confused with how they rate the output of these lights. My Mars Hydro says it's 900w and the one you linked to is 260w? Is that draw from the wall? I guess my question is, how does the 260w you suggest compare to what I have now?

Big selling point for me.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm not getting the coverage from the Mars Hydro in a 4x5 so the other beside it should do it. I live in an old house with old wiring, so I'm forced to keep the draw low - 260w is good! I want to get something before I start the next grow at the mid/end of September...so I like the idea that they're local.

if you can jump on Those quantum boards on highly recommend. I have 2 x 260 watt Xl kits in my 4x4 and they pump out the light. I run them at 50% in veg. And slowly work as I induce flowering.
And while I’m here....might as well update.....it’s about time for a lil trim and then flip to flower
