Mars Hydro FC4800 vs FC-E4800
FC4800 = 2016 samsung diodes| 2,8 µmol/j |1347µmol PPE -- FC-E4800= 2646 bridgelux diodes | 2,7 µmol/j |1328µmol PPE Both are 480watt lights... Is there a difference between µmol 2,7 and 2,8 when it comes to yield? Is the FC4800 worth the extra money? Doesn't cost much more

LEDs for 32x32 tent
New to indoor growing. Set up a 32x32 Vivosun tent. Currently have a giixer 1000w light, but wasn’t feeling the coverage was good enough for several plants. So I just ordered a second one. Do you think 2 giixer 1000w leds is ridiculous overkill? Any thoughts appreciated.

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?
Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?

How to tell if light is damaging plant?
I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?
