So it’s a “1000w LED” I know those ratings are completely off so I have a light meter and it’s reading at about just under 900 watts so it wasn’t that far from the label but still not 1000 true watts
why make up numbers? Light meters dont measure wattage pulled from the wall, so how is it reading "about just under 900 watts"and as mentionned that light pulls well under 200w. The problem when making things up is people cannot give you proper advice.

Me saying your 6 plants are not getting adequate light, because they all seem stunted for near month in veg, and your reply was that it definetely wasnt a lack of light, you say they have an eye blisterring 900w hitting them, and you have confirmed this, when not infact true.

How can someone tell you what the problem is, if your just going to make up your own reality, but expect to recieve sound advice.

That light is only adequate to flower about 16 square inches, going to be a tight flowerring room with 6 plants
900w wasn’t me just saying a random number. I did the conversions using the light meter. That’s what it’s supposed to convert to in LED. If it’s completely accurate maybe not. It not that serious though lol. It hasn’t been an issue since I lowered it way down so that’s what I was saying between me and that other guy, you just hopped in randomly

Whatever conversion method you came up with isn't even close. You have a 180W draw light. So no, it's not even close to completely accurate and it is very serious. They state it can flower a 2.5sqft space. It's going to be a tough run to try to fit 6 plants in that kind of area. I doubt it can even flower the area it claims, it's probably closer to about 1.9sqft of flower area.

Rule of thumb a 180 watt led replaces a 180 hps

I've kept runts. Some produced virtually nothing, others were well worth it. Some of them I was able to spot things that were stunting growth and change allowing the plant to bounce back and flourish. Some seeds seem to just like things differently it seems, same batch of seeds, same soil, light, ECT. But sometimes that one is a picky bitch.
In fact with my current setup and batch of gelato one is a runt. I decided to keep it in the veg cab till it caught up. Seems to be fine other than it is about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks behind the others.

So in that case should I get two or just hang it right above them?im saying in the meantime. I got this because I didn’t want to spend too much money. I’m also not keeping 6 plants at this point.
