Is your ac head right next to your plants?
Chinese imitators usually crap out around the edges on the ppfd chart. Different companies take the measurement differently, some use reflective sides, others not. I like my gavita 1700, but fwiw it is the supplements that really make the resin. I ran 30 days with just the gavita, then flipped on the supplements and two days later it looked like jack frost visited. I have uv, far red, and a mixed bar from mass medical, 6 total and costing more than the gavita. I doubt it does much for yield, so it just depends on whether you are after yield or frostiness.

Iâm still going to flower with hps/cmh mixed for awhile.
But all of my veg will be forever led going forward.
One day I will take the plunge. I think my buddy Iâd giving me some testers for flower so maybe sooner than later

Add UVA/B bar and Far Red bars in a flower room with one of your LEDs. Youâll never go back to the outputs lights.

Iâm going to go against the crowd, if youâre on a budget you can get 315w cmh setup cheaper then led and run the exact same wattage.
I got plants that are just over 5 weeks from clone in the veg and they are 4ft tall.
I use the 4200k in veg and 3100k in flower.

What lights do you recommend for uv and far red supplementation? At what intervals do you run them?
I turn them on at budset. I run UV 12/12 and Far Red I run 14 hours, 2 hours they are in the dark with just the far red.
I use the mammoth UV A/B and the FGI 730nm bars

Does anyone have anything to say about these LEDâs?
They make you give an email address to get the spec sheet, and then there is no ppfd chart. I would ask the company for the ppfd chart and look to see if the light intensity drops off around the edges and corners. They only claim 4x4 coverage, compared to the gavita 1700 which is 5x5.
Also, I like being able to run the uv bars separately and donât turn them on until about 30 days into flower. People also run all sorts of schedules for their far red, so that is nice to be able to control separately as well.

I agree with everything @Autumn_Ridge_Hemp said. Wtf sign in for the spec sheetâŚ
Most growers donât want to defoliate their garden with UV. If that fixture has enough UV to be effective, you are definitely going to defoliate your garden running it the whole flower. I do, most donât. @Autumn_Ridge_Hemp you should try less defoliation before flower and start the UV earlier.
I run my far red into night so that would be a no go for me on the far red as well.

@Boomtownpharms are you going to move that Rez outside of the grow space ? Also how do you like that garlicane? Is that a cut thatâs going around or did you pop seeds? I have seen a few dif cuts going around all look fire
