Mars recommended the fc-e8000 to replace a 1k hps. If you were to be starting fresh would you get the fce8000 over your fce6500?

Thinking about getting 2 fce3000 for my veg room to cover about a 3x6' area for the mother plants

No, These Bar type led's are too big for my liking. I prefer a small footprint with high wattage. I would go with 1:1..

Hammer could you hang your LEDs vertically near the walls to get them out of your way, with the CMH over the centre of your room?

Not enough light with just 1 CMH. I have seen some use 200w bar led on the walls for side lighting.

This TTXTHHXP41 pheno has some banana terps. I didn't use any banana genetics in this project. I think she will need 80 days min. This is 60 days. Just RO now until done. Solid dense flowers. Homerun with her..

Chimera #4 made my top 5 keepers list. I'm happy with the results I'm getting with Mars FCE-6500 led. I can't tell any difference between when I ran all CMH and the new mixed CMH/LED setup.

Everything is chugging along fine with the new light setup. A slightly more tip burn but its OK. I do add 1ml of cal/mag for every 5g of feed a few times during the run. Nothing else has changed. I love CPH.. Solid NLD pheno.
