I have a 80cm x 80 cm tent (31inc x 31inc), which the manufacturer of the light recommends. My problem is that i never saw a diary with this lights and i don't have the knowledge to compare them with all the vipar spectras, mars hydros,...etc

I use Vipar Spectra myself ( because im broke!) But i love the CoB set ups! When i upgrade, i know there will be CoB lights in the set-up!! Think its a great light for the size tent you have!!

This light is 120W, it's ok in veg but rather more for a 60x60cm in flower... If there's nothing in the manual about distance, just look at similar range other lights (Mars Hydro TS1000, Spider Farmer SF1000...).

For led's you want about 30-35 true watts/sqft, so a 200w led would be perfect. I use the maxsisun mf2000 in a 2x2 tent, and I max it out at 50%, 60% started to burn my leafs.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
