So. we just added this 1000w in there, and put the drivers on the wall outside the room. Temps dropped about 5 degrees F.
Next upgrade is to put up the T5 UVB lights. I'm on week 6 of flower. I use them for like 3-4 weeks towards the ends. The long shoplight led's on the wall 6500K lights were pretty nice for veg, but not for flowering.
There's a 500w szhlux light that was my main light for the past 3 grows. Then the 2 finnchy lights. 250w and 125w. with those bright UV diodes in them. and the ac infinity evo10 1000w. and those little 11" light bars, 4 UV and 4 full spectrum.
I'm phasing out these little 100w grow lights for some bigger ones. I'm just looking for some advice going forward.. this is a year and a half into idk what. I have the other half of the room to fix up for some hydro veggies. Good use for these other smaller lights. The cords just get to be a mess. The floodlights are nice, but they plants stayed short, in their light range. the selective spectrum is nice 3000k/5000k/6500k. the shop lights are useless in flowering. not enough PPFD's. the UVB lights should help with that. that's my next move. I already have the lights. they were just down from the last grow cleanout/reset. There's 2 UVB CFL's on now.
So. that's where I'm at. Just posting here looking for any "ya shouldn't do this because... " or "if ya do it this way, it's better.." type advice. So i'm not wasting effort in hindsight. Half the plants are in a trellis net. the others weren't. I had a lot of regulars, and chopped the males. like half of them.
