Lighting

Week4@inCharge said:
I'm going through a first grow (supervised by experienced members) and learned a ton about these ladies .. my seedling started with a Home Depot LED setup... I thought I was it.... lol, then they out grew that, so I jumped on an upgraded 150watt setup...they out grew that...then I jumped on another 150 watt led...they out grew that one...so I went to a 300watt LED setup......and yup...they out grew that too....now I'm mid flower with two 300 watt LED fixtures with one 150watt fixture in the middle.. lmfao... just spend for a decent lighting that will cover your space and light it up well into flowering, they last for multiple grows, over 5 years is what I'm told if you take care of them, some have over 5 year warranty, so that upfront coat will pay for itself in the long run... just do your homework... PAR Charts is something to check into for each light your considering.

Yep. I went from 90w of cobbled together stuff, to 225w of quality+ 90w of cobbled together...and in the next couple weeks (last few of flower) I'll have 675 total of good quality quantum boards in the tent. Looking forward to having good even light in all parts of the tent.

Check out Photone app for phones. Lots of good feedback as to the accuracy, and you'll pay less than ten bucks for whatever light profile you need to purchase for it. It's really helped me dial in my lighting.
