New Grower

[SlyTown420]

Replace those 3 x MARS 600W with 3 x MARS SP-250's. That'll be a nice upgrade. FYI these are rated 2.5g per watt lol.

Are they a good light

 

[Skunks]

Should I get rid of the hps if I get those lights

 

[SlyTown420]

They are Quantum Boards on a MeanWell driver. They are primo full spectrum white LED lights--no more blurple. The FedEx guy is delivering mine today. Follow my grow journal for the unboxing. There are also tons of good YouTube videos on the SP-250. Before I'd get rid of the HPS lights, I'd try to see how I might use them in the future.

How many will I need for 2mx2m room

 

[SlyTown420]

6

 

[SlyTown420]

They cover 2x4 so your layout would be staggered, not symmetrical in order to gain an even PAR distribution.

 

[Skunks]

That many wow

 

[Skunks]

My grow area is roughly 1.5x1.5 so I could get 2 so-250 and keep the 600 as well would that work

 

[Lowrider72]

You should only need 4 of those LEDs to cover that area.
315w CMH will only do 1.2 x 1.2m well.
600w hps in 1.5 x 1.5 was a lil under powered too.
Not that it means anything when ya buds look soo good.
Well done.

 

[SlyTown420]

I was thinking the grow space was much larger.

 

[Skunks]

The tent is 2x2 but there a bit of room left

Just curious Skunks, how tall are they now?

 

[Skunks]

I think the tallest 1 is 34’’ and rest not far behind

 

[Skunks]

They stayed quite short but very wide and bushy

 

[snowbound]

Short means nice tight nodes, dense buds. All good.

 

[Skunks]

Hope so mate just a quick question what week do I start flushing with just water

 

[snowbound]

the last week, so lots of time yet, if you figure 8-9 weeks for flowering
