Hey all, hoping someone with more knowledge in the QB realm can help out here.
What I'm running:
-2x4x6 foot tent
-3x 5gal DWC with premium feminized genetics
-RH stable at 65-70% (shitloads of air, res temps at 70f max, keeping rot at bay with UC roots and hydroguard (not at the same time if course))
-air temp stable at 82f with my current 400w (actual draw) veg LED
-co2 stable at 800-900ppm, to be increased as needed
-training for 8 cola mainlines
So my question is: would a 480w QB w/Samsung lm301b be Overkill, assuming co2/temp/rh can be set to match light intensity? I'm planning on buying either a 480w (similar to hlg 550 v2) or a 260w (like the spider farmer 2000w..) I'll also be supplementing with a uv a/b tube, but I'm concerned the 480w might be too much. However from the ppfd/par charts it seems the 480w is the only light that could give me 1000+ ppfd over the entire cannopy, which will be roughly 2x3 or 3.5.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
