LED light - Veg / BloomHey guys and girls, I have 2 autos that are a week old and looking strong. I have a Phlizon 600W Led light which comes well recommended. It has 2 switches. VEG & BLOOM. You can have 1 or both on.
Should I have both switches on (full power) at this early stage or just VEG?Setup. Lighting

Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1
