I just saw that lumatek plans to release a 1000w led bar fixture with 2700 ppf. I know plants are able to take more light with co2 supplement but isnt there a limit? How would 2700 ppf do in a 5x5 ?

Works out 1074 ppfd over a 1.6m2 (5.2ft2)area as they suggest.

Or 1162ppfd over 5x5ft

1000 ppf if i remember correctly is pretty much perfect with co2? What would be the ppf for same area with the 600w then? Would it be worth it to have the bigger fixture?

The 600 pro is 1620umol/s would be 697.50 ppfd over a 5x5 area.
Without co2 that should do pretty good.
