I got my other lamp, the 200W Citizen CLU048 and it doesn’t weight even half what the Vero weights, would it be a good idea to exchange the lamp in my little tent? Less temp inside, more air flow and less weight for my tent. It’s holding up just fine. What are your opinions?
Switch the 600W Vero for the 200W Citizen in my 4x2x4?
Because of the area of the grow, i think there’s really no need to have the 600W hanging there, it’s way too heavy. I think the 200W Citizen would do fine, would it?
With your tight walls i think it is very doable. It would be the largest it could reasonably cover and the edges will be a bit dim. The plants will be towards the center so it should be fine i believe. If my assumptions are wrong then it might need to be rethought.
I’m gonna worry less about power bill, heat, weight on the tent (stress on the frame), there will be more air flow and one cob per every two plants, that i can rotate everyday so they all get some light, out of the far edges…
IMHO HPS 600W has coverage of 1 x 1 meter to 1,2 x 1,2 meter.
If that is the case, and you think that light output will be even stronger the outcome I see is that @MadScientist would do OK with half output of that 600W LED in 0,6 x 1,2 meter.
Well in that case i’m not even gonna worry about it. Just dim the Vero to where i want it to be. In that 4x2 (120x60) tent, what’s the most watts i should use?
Two of the babies died. I got six getting big and strong. Currently germinating three more beans that will catch up with the rest… I put three to germ cos’ of Murphy’s Law, but only two are going in the tent…
EDIT, ok my people i was very worried running the Vero 600W in that tiny tent, so i installed the Citizen 200W, and right now it’s running at only 75W to allow them babies to get some leaves and then will crank it up to maybe 130W and when they start flowering, the full 200W, it’s extremely bright too…
I gotcha but the thing is, this is coco and perlite with pomice only; there is no organics here. Maybe on the outdoor grow i will, still have to go get the neem little tree…
