By the time I add 6 of those lights, do you think I could start using CO2?
I gotta say I’m pretty shocked that everyone thinks these lights are inefficient. I used to be using these lights:

They worked extremely well, and the new lights are even brighter than the previous ones.

744 true watts being used . 448 grams in a pound . You need to get 0.60 grams per watt to get a P which is definitely doable even with those lights . They look really good ! But they are right about the commercial growing , nobody is trying to bash you but there are about a million better light options efficiency wise to use if you are going commercially or even at home.

I definitely appreciate your feedback. Any idea what lights would be better commercial-wise?
Also, the reason I got these lights (and so many of them) is because I got a spectacular manufacturers deal of $2700 for all 60 lights. ViparSpectra is a really good company from what I’ve heard so I took the offer.

You have spent 3 months vegging them. IMO the best benefits of Co2 is during veg and the early weeks of flower. If you are new to growing I wouldn't consider using it yet. Get these girls to harvest. Keep them as green as possible until chop. Shy away from high P bloom nutes. And learn.

HID - HPS , CMH , white light LEDs . I imagine you got a good sized space to fit 60 lights . The deal you got i must say was good , but in terms of efficiency definitely not

To get a P you are going to have to defoliate the hell out of them since its not all tops and they are tall plants
