    Buyer be ware, when it comes to buying LEDs. I started 10yrs ago with the Blackstars, and although great in veg, they cheap lights suck for flowering. I had the opportunity to test several LEDs a few years back, I started with the 800, and after about 3yrs upgraded to the 880. They are pricey, but you get what you pay for! Otherwise do like everyone has said, and grab a 600 hps. Youll be much happier with the results. h

    Also, I don't know if it's a issue, but 2 lights will be a lot hotter than 1 big one. h

    Did not realise 2x450's would be hotter than 1x900
    When using a cool tube what percentage of lumens are lost
    would heat be a big issue using a 600 Hps without a cool tube
    And does a 600 Hps draw 600 from the wall unlike Led's which don't Necessarily state true Wattage
    Sorry for (what some may say ) dumb questions lol

    Just realised it's not watt per plant it's watt per SQ foot
