Hi all, Pakman here.
I've seen a few people on different forums using residential style LED lighting for various growth stages. Each one using different types, wattages, spectrums etc.
This tells me that they will perform(perhaps not at the standard of proper grow lights, but perform none the less).
Unfortunately, nothing I've found closely matches what I have, nor what I want to do with it.
So here's my question:
I purchased two 25w led 2ft battens rated at 5k, the visible light output is incredible. They do have a removable defuser.
Will these work for any/all of the following?
Keep 2 small (1 - 1 1/2ft tall) mother plants.
Root/grow 10~ small (max 5in tall) clones.
Or both.
Height doesn't include pot height.
I also have 8x 24w 6500k cfls which I'm currently using for mother/guinea pig and test clones. Perhaps led to keep things going, cfls extra to force new clone growth and give rooted clones a boost?
For flowering, I'll have a 600w hps in a 4x4ft tent aiming for a 2wk perpetual sog.
Anyone have any knowledge/experience in this?
Any input is greatly appreciate.
