Hey all,
Been lurking a couple of weeks, absorbing as much info as I can... Thanks to all who have contributed to these threads, both information and plant pics
I'm trying to spec out a first time build with the intention to setup a small 2in1 "perpetual" tent (3x3/3x1). Bombardment of questions, incoming!
1. Can I get any opinions on this light (YXO Yuxinou 500mm QB), especially from any current owners on it's ability to flower a 3x3?
1a. I need advice on the best pick of spectrum for a flower room, should I be looking at the 35K395450660730FS or can someone recommend one of the other spectrum combos, what did you guys go with? A little reasoning would be greatly appreciated, I'm still trying to get my head around it all.
2. I presume I can just jumper out a few failed chips before I have to consider replacing the chips/board? For initial outlay I can't find anything else that can touch the price/w of these YXO lights, at least while they are on special. Given the cost of a replacement board from YXO, if it all goes to shit I'll use what I can salvage to build a Bridgelux EB strip setup.
3. I was looking at the Viparspectra VA (dimmable) series for maintaining the veg/mother/clone side of the tent. Can anyone see a reason a pair of "600w" (130 actual) lights wouldn't get me by, or suggest a better option around the same cost?
Thanks in advance!
