Looking to Increase Yield!

Light is one of the biggest factors to increase yield.
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.

I don't run CO2, so my advice would be bad.

Is anyone here actually gonna give valuable input on my initial question or just bash on the light selection?
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
