How about this one? Any good? Looks to be more powerful than the one I have and full spectrum??

Re: My first diary
It's the 1000watt. I tested it tonight, it seems a little overkill I won't lie. I could land planes with this thing lol. I've got a little booklet it says for flowering to have it between 80-100% power?wutang wrote:Yeah man slow and easy with Leds.

Seedlings - 10-20% and probably at least 50cm away
Veg - 20 - 50% as you go through this cycle
Flower - 50 to 100% as you go through the cycle.
My advice is slowly increase the dimmer and see how the plants react to it. LEDs are more powerful even though they may not feel it in terms of heat, but the light intensity is much stronger.

That's a 60watter true power and all numbers look good to grow you 1 plant. Id look at doubling that power if you want more bud and to grow more than one plant. But ideally 1 plant vegged up for 3 to 4 weeks before flipping should do you an ok job. Its for sure x10 better than other light matePork Chop Express wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 7:55 pmHey thankyou for the kind offer but I went ahead and brought the Fecida cr600 that was recommended to me above.

Re: My first diary
Yeah there's two versions..600w and 1000w..the 1000w is 130w of true power I believe. I had it plugged into a smart plug and I'm sure it was correct. I'm not an expert in true wattage but I'm sure Mr Scoops can explain if that's right or not?
