How many pounds per light are you pulling with your LEDs?

What kind of question is this? This isn't HPS where "a light" = 1000w HPS. There are so many different LED fixtures, spreads, COBs/Strips/Boards, point sources of light, Light emitting surfaces, wattage, and Color Temps that you really have to specify.

I mean they look like 650w spydr Fluence lights, curious to know what people pull with those, I've heard many different claims from both pros and hobbyists

Do you hand water? What's your secret? ;)

Lol! Jacks 3-2-1. Haha!
Joking sort've.
My secret was almost x2 yrs. Of learning everything plant/led related the hard way.
Having 1.25 gpw averages w/ sub-par genetics & tons of problems adjusting to led.
Now dialed in pretty well & understand how the plants respond to different light intensities of different spectrums. How to create diffusion & use to your advantage.
Magnesium is huge. Vdp , so-so. Depending on your room & how crammed your plants are or are not. Feeding schedule & media aeration was big for me last run & believe that helped allot with the use of very inexpensive powdered nutes. Also, Pro-Mix, Biofungicide HP, 50/50 w/ reg. HP has eliminated my fungus gnats & spring tails.
Spectrum plays a very big role for me too along experimenting.
As the Name indicates, almost everything i do is a Hybrid of the norm or what is known to work. Allot of testing has brought me here. Not that i recommend all that. Big losses involved. Rather learn from those who made the mistakes already.

Yes totally, magnesium plays a big role, I plan on staying in the VPD range. Do you drip feed? if so what's your feeding schedule? I was thinking twice a day, once before lights on and another 6 hours later

That would depend on your plant size & grow style. If in soil a drip feed sounds good. In Soiless media I'd imagine one would need to drop their ppm's/ec. Never tried it consistantly. Am running irrigation with DTW once daily during their peak feeding wks. When not peaking they get about a gallon each day in-between DTW feeds to keep em wet.

I go per tray depending on the strain.
every 4x4 I’m pulling Anywhere from 1 to 1.9
Scrog. 4 per tray

sog per 4x4 I get 1. 2 to 2.6
Per 4x4 tray thats usually 8-10 plants.

I like to see what they respond best to.

Next go all Sog. 10 plant per
Click to expand...
And I imagine you put 1 light per tray?

Biggest thing is dialing the room environment temps in and the light intensity.

Keep your root zone happy.
Click to expand...

Air temp day 68-84 night 68-78

Humdity 50%-60%

Co2 800ppm-1400ppm (off during night)

VPD 1.2kpa-1.5kpa

Is what I'm going for

Sounds like your on track I run 70 to 72

start of flower the gradually bring it down during Mid to late flower.

I keep my root zone at about 69.

Any thing colder and it slows the growth
