To you current LED growers (is this light suitable?)

This is exactly what I wanted to know! So two of these would yield a good amount? A little better than a 1000w HPS (like, 1200w HPS)? I'd just be happy if I could yield a pound for each harvest.. I bet you could put 9 of those lowryder plants (the ones that yield 28-50g/plant) under each of those lights, or put a good 18 under two of them and come up with some very large yields in about 2 months... Good idea or no? Even judging low, that would be 18oz or at least 1lb every 2 months.. I'd be satisfied with that to start!
and on top of that, I have a 400w HPS that I could start new plants once they're half done so I could have a harvest every month.. Pound a month would make me very happy to start with, and I'd just constantly add a light until I have the entire house full

yeah two 3w chipset leds from a good company that run at 300-350w of led output will be around the same growing horsepower achieved with a 1000w hps. Don't know if I already mentioned it in this thread but I'm of the opinion that instead of having two panels pulling 600-700w it would be much more beneficial to have 4 panels pulling the same total wattage. Gives you a modular set up and allows you to fit each panel to the specific height of the plants you're growing - especially if you don't have a uniform grow (different strains, starting some new plants after some are already 2 ft tall ect.)

I run 4 panels pulling anywhere from 130-160w of power set on full illumination and am super happy I went this route instead of one monster panel.

also saw that you're growing autos, lowryders are ok but I have grow a lot of auto strains. If I can make a couple recs some of the best and brightest autos I've grown are Auto Assassin and MI-5 from Short Stuff, Caramel Cream from Sweet Seeds, and Smurfberry from Sagamantha. Growing a Super Sativa from Big Buddah right now - it has a lot of promise as well. Any of these can easily pull over 1 oz sometimes a lot more if well cared for.
