I need a small light say 12 inch by 12 inch or some kind of puck because I have one girl who's smaller than the rest and I need to get the light down closer.
+1 for ViparspectraViparspectra do a decent range starting with the p600, a 100w dimmable LED.
For budget lights they have a good rep and solid performance
Thx, however the dwarf is in the tub. Yes, already started bending/LST on the tallest one.If it’s the multiple plants in the same pot, you can train the taller plants to be shorter, by bending/LST or using some sort of form, screen, or cage - and then you can raise the whole pot if needed.
All of those plants have characteristics of plants that aren't receiving a lot of light - tall and slender, very few branches, large leaves, and significant internodal space.Thanks for the suggestions. Those Kessils are expensive! I know I paid a pretty penny for The last lights I bought about 5 years ago, Cobbs.
Before that I had infrared I guess, the kind that make everything look pink for a 10 minutes. Not sure if those are even worth anything anymore?
I like that p1000 12-in x 12-in. I could drop that down right over my little dwarf girl.
I just hoisted up the whole platform so I can start some serious training.View attachment 5435799
Yeah, they sure are! I had no idea they were that expensive! I guess the aquarium crowd is willing to pay, but.....yeah....wow! Plus, they don't offer anything that looks like the proper spectrum, anyway. I just remember them from several years ago and some people were using them. They also use fans, so that's a moving part that will wear out.Thanks for the suggestions. Those Kessils are expensive!

They have fans and they put out a lot of heat but the worst thing is they mess up your eyes.Yeah, they sure are! I had no idea they were that expensive!

I have 4 of these. Pretty good?All of those plants have characteristics of plants that aren't receiving a lot of light - tall and slender, very few branches, large leaves, and significant internodal space.
The Vipar XS 1500 Pro is a great light for a 2' tent and you can get the XS 2500 for a very good price that will light that space very nicely.
If you want a light for just one plant, check out the offerings at rapidled.com. Overall, I'd drop $200 on the XS 2500 and that would, at least, double the yield that you're looking at now.
From the cited paper, showing increase in yield as PPFD increases.
Cannabisis a light whoreloves light. It can grow in as little as 64µmol but will thrive at 1100 (in ambient CO2).

HLG is high quality with superb service.I have 4 of these. Pretty good?View attachment 5435906
I built those myself. I can how someone would manufacture them...HLG is high quality with superb service.
What if I told you that there is 3 different strains in the 6 girls, 2 each - besides stating the obvious that was a dumb thing to do?I have 4 of these. Pretty good?View attachment 5435906
At first I didn't agree with your assessment until I did compared lighted inches squared to over all square inches: 540 / 1600. I'm guessing it should be at least 1000/1600.I have 4 of these. Pretty good?View attachment 5435906
