How high should my 600W light be?

How high should my 600W light be?

The optimum hanging height for a 600W HPS system is only 40cm or 16″. Even at this low height a lot of light will shine on the side walls and have to be reflected down onto the grow. The reflective materials will not reflect all of the light and there will be some light lost (heating the walls).

What LED light is equivalent to a 600W HPS?

For example, the US-made Platinum P450 274W LED grow light (which is listed as equivalent to a 600W HPS) offers 11 bands ranging from ultraviolet to infrared.

How far should my 600W LED be from plants?

between 16-36 inches
During the flowering stage LED Grow lights should be located between 16-36 inches from the plant canopy. Moving the grow light closer will increase the light intensity which can maximize photosynthesis.

How much area does a 600 watt grow light cover?

6×6 feet
The wattage of the light will determine how much area you can light up. If we assume that the plants will get no sunlight, a 1000 watt light will cover about 7×7 feet of growing area. A 600 watt will cover 6×6 feet, a 400 will cover 4×4 feet, a 250 will cover 3×3 feet and a 150 will cover 2×2 feet.

How many plants can I grow under 600W HPS?

Sixteen plants that are grown under a 600-watt HPS lamp could produce about 37.5 grams or 1.3 oz of marijuana per plant. Under perfect, outdoor conditions, you can expect yields to extend to 500 grams or 17.5 oz per plant.

Which is better HPS or LED?

LEDs are much the same. Though they’re generally more efficient than HPS (with some clocking 2.8 µmol/joule), some LEDs are less efficient than high-quality HPS fixtures, and they give you less light. All too often, the µmol/joule rating on HPS products states the lamp efficiency, not the actual product efficiency.
