Yo man. It’s not “convincing me”

I believe you.

I need 200 more watts of light. Atleast. Are you saying buy that much watts worth of 18/35?

I’m not at all doubting I need them. But I think those are suplumental lights and not main lights, or am I mistaken?

These are what I have, but in 4K and 2 of them. A little pricey, but no wiring (I know you don't like it), and they seem to have good coverage. Pretty strong for a little 100W fucker.

You’re in a 4x4 or 16sq foot.

30-35 watts per square foot is 480-560 watts to flower wall to wall. Get another driver and another 4 pack of 132’s....

The far red and deep red can be added in as extra but still you’ll want more QB light first. Your ts 1000 is more of a seedling/veg only light for like 1-2 plants tops.
Get two 18/35s then...i’m tellin you guys, intensity & spectrum...

So, this lux meter is pretty cats ass.

I tested my led... not as badass as I had been treating it lol.

Tested my solar led lights... yea, they're still pretty fucking bright. You could almost grow decently with them.

Tested my dusk to dawn, that's pretty good.

Nah man any and every QB light produce well and be more efficient than HPS. The technology changes really really fast. As you can see by OR Gros grow comparative the 96’s and 288’s are close and they both still produce well. The 132’s will too you just have to make sure you have enough of them.
Be careful, 96s kick plain 288s ass all over town....my gro uses supplemented 288s...supplemented with guess what?...qb18/35s....

I’d like to test my lights man. I have some various Chinese blurple around. And that lux meter. How so?

Part of me in my head is thinking I could achieve better results with less light if they were say.... closer? Ie more intense? If the watts don’t matter and what the plant is taking in (the lux? Or PPFD?? Something....)

Know what I mean?

Really.

Well I had a 500 a month power bill with HPS so.... if I can keep it under that.... all good.

I’m wanting the new qb288 w RSPEC man
Doesn’t sounds like a bad idea. I’m pretty sure they’re closer to the 96’s than the 288v1’s.... but again idk much about the 288’s

You won’t be near $500
