Thanks Lester.
marmarb, sweet spot for most people, imo, is around +/- 35w/sf.
Really dialed in, I think you can push to 45+, but run the risk of over-driving plants if everything isn't 100% (feed, climate, genetics, plant health, w/ CO2, etc.)
~700 watts over a 4'x5' is my go to... Can drop down to 31-32w/sf just fine also, and still plenty of chunk for me, but mileage may vary. Always strain/pheno dependent, some girls will love the light, and others not so much...
I just snagged an apogee from my buddy, generally sitting around 900 par at the trellis, but will get some solid measurements after this round.
