You really have that Forum dialed in. Beautiful plant. Looks like you got it to yield a little better. Such killer smoke. Awesome budshots!!!

I remember hearing years ago that the rule of thumb for HID lighting was 50 watts per square foot. Does the same go for LED?

i don't have a good answer to that...


in my experience my gram per watt is higher with led but not high enough to bridge the gap in wattage for most harvest...that said i think the quality of the led grown product is better and my electric bill has gone down substantially...plus no more buying new bulbs every six months...

It boils down to par. If ya go over the plants stress. If ya go under they don't grow as well. That said the claim on most LED's is 35 to 40 wpsf.

I'm on the edge. Of what I'm not sure.

Those 2 sp3000's are throwing way better and brighter coverage than the panel next to them...is that a hlg550?

lol,me too!


i think i want to get an fc4800 and hang that in the center with the two sp3000 on either side...

That fc4800 does look sweet. Using that with the 2 SP3000s would be a killer combo to boot. I'm more interested in that style light than the quantum boards. Seems like much more even spread.

If you get the fc4800 I look forward to your thoughts on it compared to all the other LEDs you have run.

originally i would have gone with 4x sp3000 for that space,but getting one fc4800 is cheaper than two more sp3000...that said i like the 4x sp250 setup in the 4x8 tent since i rarely monocrop and being able to vary the lamp height is helpful...

lots of changes going on here,got the two sp3000 installed,everything looking good in that room,the plants are already a week to three weeks into flower,and there's as usual a mix of strains so not a side by side by any means...unlikely i will do anything like that since this space will be 16 of my rozay f4 keeper and a couple of something else...


but hopefully by the time that round is ready i will have ordered a fc4800...think that would be pretty slick as a center light with 2 sp3000 on the sides...


so,to introduce this space a little about it...this room is built in the garage which is uninsulated and south facing so this space is framed with 2x4 and plywood here and there where needed for strength and the walls are filled with fitted 2 inch foam board and the whole thing is double layer reflectix...like 700 bucks of insulation basically...it has 2 6x24 carbon filters/fans for exhaust,and a 6 inch fan for intake which is split with a "Y" to blow air across the drivers for the leds...
