I haven’t made it to harvest yet . Still in veg . I have a month before I make the switch to flower . I wanna make sure I’m happy with results and the more I look up the results of these lights the more I’m kicking myself for going this way . Could have gone a better route .
it is the life of a grower lol I feel like I’ll settle on these hlgs and then I’m gonna see a new better light tomorrow lol
Defiantly overkill in a 4x4. I can sing the praises of HLG all day but you are already covered. Now if you can afford to buy them I would say go for it. Having a couple spare lights is always a good thing if one can manage it in case of a failure. Your plants will not want to wait for the light to be repaired.
It’s kinda why I went with 4 ts1000 . Mars says 3 is adequate for a 4x4 . I got the extra for extra power and extra hardware . I’ll skip on the hlgs this time . See what Mars is capable of . Then maybe try . Since hlg is out of the question now . I’ll shoot to up potency and trichome coverage with some uvb lights from California. They don’t add too much in terms of wattage , and they only need to be ran for a couple hours verse the full length . Thank you gentlemen for your input .
I was considering adding some uvb to my main room, and from what I could find it seems that using fluorescent uvb fixtures is the most cost-effective way to generate enough output to make a difference.
I will have to look up the Agromax . I only saw the California light works uvb. I was thinking about grabbing two of them . They’re only 25 watts each. I like the idea of it . On paper it sounds like it makes sense . I would just love to see some cold hard evidence. I hear numbers of 20-30% trich/resin increase .
From what I read Solacure had the best UV bulbs. May want to give them a look if you are heading down the UV path.
Do you think the two 4 foot fixtures are enough?
The company you listed is a lot cheaper than California light works .
Should be fine in your space. It says use 2 per 1000 watt hood, one on each side. Here is the blurb from their web site. They have some great info on the link I provided. Here is a section on usage.
