@B4RNS Good eye lol!!... one is a 630watt, iv'e had 2 new bulbs blow in that empty side in just a weeks time, i don't trust the output on it so we're using it as a single 315watt 😸

Tell me if I’m wrong but these are single bulbs on a dual ended ? 🤔 Very nice anyway.... but maybe nearly obsolete as we’re entering the era of the LED now... less heat, no bulbs replacements, a deeper penetration of the light, less wattage per hours, cheaper to buy... if this equipment is brand new ask for a refund are a swap against some Mars-Hydro LED 😉

TRUE OR FALSE!?!?True or false?!?! LED has a longer flowering time. LED needs less nutrient. LED has a more spread light output. After reading to much about it, I would like to know what GD community thinks. 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏
