Thanks, my objective is to answer the question for myself whether this can be a viable growing option, if it does the same for anyone else then great.
Good to have you on board...
Thanks man, I will spread them over a 4x4 area, the point being that it needs to compare to my 600's that I use in separate 4x4 spaces alongside this tent, the 20 that have just germed will probably go under a 600 for comparison.Good luck, man.
How big is the area you are looking to cover with this light? According to HH "Power Consumption: 385 - 420w (full illumination)"
Yes that was a bit of nute burn at day 11, the EC was at 0.80 and the PH was 5.8. I flushed PH'ed water through them at EC=0.60 and they have recovered very well. I have since been watering them every 3 days with 0.60EC/5.8PH. They are just starting to show maturity now and I expect them to start flowering and gaining size rapidly during the stretch this next 2 weeks.

If I were you I would flower with all the lights on. On my LED the white diodes actually put off 3 wavelengths, a red, a blue, and green. So it may be quite worth it to keep them on, some flowering panels out there work great and they use only white crees.
(although depending on the diodes used for the veg lights on that panel it might not be worth it). Its a good looking panel so I imagine they should be worth it, you should ask them if they think its worth it to run all the lights in flower (although I don't know if they would admit results for cannabis? You might have to find another grower?
Um............ I am using full spectrum my friend.If I were you I would flower with all the lights on. On my LED the white diodes actually put off 3 wavelengths, a red, a blue, and green.

If the plant can use the light in veg, it can use it in flower

I had the lights at 20 inches for the first 2 weeks and have now at the first signs of flowering lowered them to 18 inches. After consulting with Ben the owner of Hydrohut he explained that the UV was just too intense for seedlings and the lights were better utilised higher above the canopy till the plants were able enough. This was based on his own experience of using them.
I also need to cover the full 4x4 space and so I can't get too close to the canopy, I need to see if it can dominate the 4x4 even in the corners as well as a 600 can.
EDIT: Was it the greenomatic you yielded 17g? was it dry weight? I grew one out in January/February and got 28g dry from a single fat cola. I'm looking for an ounce dry from each plant as a benchmark.
