OK thanks dude i will. What prices are good for those these days? Still rita fang for these, but is she with the manufacturer?
What about the heat compared to a 600 watt or a 1000 Watt? I was hoping the one 650 would be less heat than a 600 watt hps.

I live in northern Canada. I normally need to add heat to my room
There is another person in this very thread saying the heat is less or more manageable. Aren't these dimmable lights? Could the wattage could be turned down so I wouldn't be at 650 watt usage, so less heat, but because of the efficiency of the led the light would be an equivalent of 600 watt light? Like 400 Watts usage but a 600 or 500 watt equivalent in light?

Nice. I'm from Canada too, Toronto, I was living in bc before I came to Europe. But in the summer no heat probs for you? Im having to be stealthy that's the big issue with heat and venting, it's shit. We'll if this isn't the solution then I'll have to get a small ac, never used that either.

I have central air, and a portable for my room. Last couple summers I’ve shut down and love the little breaks
Ahhh. So you use ac in the grow space? "your room" is the grow room?

So I can use a 400 watt light, instead of a 600watt. 200 watts less energy to produce heat. It's made it easier for me to control. Plus no infra red.
So the 400 watt led is the lighting equivalent of a 600 watt hps? What does no infra red in led do or not do?

Close enough for me. Infra red is part of the light spectrum, that radiates heat.

LED vs HPS
HPS vs. LED - cannabinoid trials. We get asked a lot - on why we increased the blue % (+ far red) in our new spectrum…read along. First - One thing we have spent a lot of time educating on is how cannabis yield and light intensity are linear when your environment is dialed in. That is why...

I'm guessing that your ambient or intake air temp. is high enough that even LED is causing issues for you.
Best of luck, hope you get everything dialed in.
EDIT: I am in no way affiliated with Mammoth Lighting, it was the first site that came up via my Google search LOL.

I know. I’m fucking with you. Same reason why I tossed a clone in Miracle Gro. Because I don’t give a fuck about it.

I posted and he was quick to track me down with laugh emojis. Why’s he so salty? I’m sure it’ll turn out less crispy than his plants with over a decade over experience. Must be the picky clone only strains.Its just a “practice“ grow as pudgewun would say
