For a 4x4 area would 2 4ft agromax be enough? I will be running quantum boards 2 boards per piece actually I could put in 3 2 at the edges and one in the middle. how many hours per day should I run the uvbs?
thats way too much. i run 2 2 foot agromax for only a total of 1 hour a night.For a 4x4 area would 2 4ft agromax be enough? I will be running quantum boards 2 boards per piece actually I could put in 3 2 at the edges and one in the middle. how many hours per day should I run the uvbs?

i am even considering running just 1 of them and putting the other in another 4x4 tent.
not to mention they are 2-3 feet above the canopy.
4 footers would be extreme overkill that will probably damage your plants
It's recommended to start with an half hour at noon and slowly ramp up untill you see first signs of UV burning(leaf tipps and margins). I can not say much about the Agromax tubes, except they should be very strong. Most reports use so-called reptile tubes for desert reptiles like Arcadia D3 desert, ReptiSun 10.0 or JBL (10-14% UV-B/30-60% UV-A, 7000°k/CRI90)For a 4x4 area would 2 4ft agromax be enough?

Do you know what percentage of UVB/UVA the Agromax tubes actually have?
And do you really let them run at night, so without the main light?
If so, why do not you let it run in the daytime, so along with the main light?
Does not that mess up the day/night rhythm because of the coolwhite part of the tubes?
Thanks I will start out with 2 2 footers then I was thinking i needed it to cover the whole tent for light spread.
