Bashing welcome! Ok it's been about 8 years since I have grown anything. Used to live in Michigan and now central FL. Was bored and had some 100w equivalent led warm white bulbs that I took the defuser off. 12 100w equivalent bulbs total..all thoughts welcome. Bagseed.

It's honestly a neat Lil veg setup, but you're going to be dissapointed if you try to flower with that amount of light. It's just not enough.

It's been a while since I graduated from public school but I like to think I can count to twelve as well as the next guy. I'm only seeing (looks at outstretched hand) five bulbs there. Where are the others?

I have never been happier my power bill

No more bulb changes 3-5 year warranty

Just note different light spectrums will affect your grow and nutrient uptake and there is a learning curve when it come to your environment.

This is week one of blue berry muffins under led looks healthy to me.

Get a lux meter or lumens meter from amazon and measure you’re area it’ll give you an idea on your output.

Whats the actual watts of those bulbs? They aren't very efficient at about 90 lm/watt so you should run about 50w per square foot and around 30w/ft. with the good stuff.

GasNGrapes · May 23, 2020

Actual watts of the fixtures 660 and 680.

I run smart strips for room controls and it measures amps and watts

1212ham · May 23, 2020

My bad, I meant to quote the OP.
How do you think your roi 680S and Fluence compare?

At 90lm/w more like 60-70w a sqft
