I got the Canna coco AB, and PK when i swapped to coco. I still had rhinoskin (silica) from my prev grow so i continued with that. Same with budcandy (molsasses). I was using Advansed nutrisnets calmag but it has to much N in it 4-0-0 so i swapped to TA 1-0-0 when i moved to coco aswell.

2x2m or 2x2feet? If 2x2m you are very underpowered to cover your crop good with light.

If you had a 50% drop in yield although everything else is running smoothly then I’d suggest it’s the lights and not nutrient related.
We’re you using 600w HPS bulbs before ?
I know the 300w telos 10 says it’s equivalent to a 600w HPs but there is a large difference in the total ppf (total par light per second)
Almost 400umol/s difference if using a digital HPs ballast.
You are getting more par per watt compared to a HPS,but it’s total ppf that matters.
I use a 600w led which gives 2.9umol/Total ppf 1620umol/s/j and I would say I’m getting the same results from that as I was my 600w HPS,maybe a little better.but I grow in a loft and always have terrible conditions.
Looking at the chart above that’s equivalent to a 1000w HPs.
So I think to try to achieve the same results as before you would need another telos light to achieve more ppf.
As when using 2 600w HPs before you had 2024 total ppf
The 2 telos 10 give 1260 ppf add another you get 1890 ppf which is almost the equivalent to the 2 600w

Ice has experience with telos hopefully he will pop in and offer his advice

That information for the Telos 10 Pro isn't quite right Beth
Looks like growell have mixed something up there, or perhaps reporting on the older model.
Here is the data sheet for this particular light ;
LIGHT OUTPUT PPF (umoles) - 744 PPF
CALCULATED EFFICACY (380 nm ~ 820 nm) (umoles/Joule) - 2.5
This is verified with third part testing, I believe Migro uses this facility too.
Unfortunately many light companies inflate their numbers, and without verifiction, so worth checking
Here's an explanation on that verification process ;
I believe growell is reporting a 600w HPS to be 1017 PPF
Your x 2 Telos 10 pro (600w) = 1488 PPF
@Bobby1980 I look forward to seeing your grow here if you decide to share.
I have the same model and they've really blown me away on both build quality, ease of use within the app and the plants love em!
Oh and I will add, I don't like it personally when companies inflate numbers..in my opinion any 300w LED is not 'equivilent to a 600w HPS'..I wish they would stop doing that (Im not sure if Telos is, but if they are, then they are included too).
They're much more efficient, we all know that but there is no need to exaggerate numbers.
