Can i actually grow my own weed with these lights like i planned when i started, what are the odds

[shuu80]

I got one HLG 100 v2 4000k
And two 300w Viaspectra lights
Do I connect all three next to each other or use the two to just flower?
Will this be enough to flower like 8 plants in 2×4 space no tent?

I would say put the hlg in the middle and the viper lights on the sides to start your grow. As your plants grow you’re gonna want more light. You can add more light with relatively inexpensive led cobs like these to fill in around the hlg and vipers. This one is 24 watts 3500k I got on sale for 12$ and it’s just like the cobs marketed as grow lights. I currently am running a advanced led 350 watt led, advanced led xte200 150 watts hanging in the middle, with 12 cob bulbs hanging on all the sides which I added as they grew. Just a thought, but those you have are a great start just use all of them. Good luck brother

Was there no way to remove that glass?

I have four fiets 9, 16 watts also but I really wanna grow my herbs along side the weed. So crazy I just want actual buds not a veggie plate and thanks

With the lights you have you can definitely do one or two plants full cycle. Unless the vipers are actually pulling 300 watts each then you can do more for sure.

Theyre taking in 136 actual wattage if im reading this right, i have two so im hoping this can bring a set of plants up to full growth, i just took of the hlg 99 watts to grow my herb babies

 

[Redskare87]

That’s not bad you definitely can and should do it my dude

Not on that one but you can on similar bulbs. The glass optic on that bulb is pretty dope and concentrates the beam which is actually good from what I’ve noticed.

It's not good. Ditch it. If possible.

I been using 2 of this work great

Actually, I’m curious as to why you recommend removing the optic. It’s a 40 degree optic on a 24 watt chip which seems like the perfect amount of watts for a 1.5-2ft area squared. Have you had issues using similar lights?

It’s more like 1-1.5 ft squared

I just don't really believe in optics for LEDs. They diminish the output.

Oh I see, yeah I feel the same way and I do remove most of them especially if they’re frosted and what not.
