    I have a new light coming for 1 side of my 4x8. So I'll have a couple options for the other side.
    Should I use 2 viparspecta P2000's on the other side or the Meihzi 1200 watt? The P2000's are 400 watt combined, Meihzi is 500 something.

    Thanks Screenshot_20210103-170508.png Screenshot_20210103-170617.png

    I own all of the lights posted. Just want to see what the consensus is.

    LOL let me know what you settle on.
    I'm 90% outside sun powered with some 4 ft strip light T5 high outputs to veg under and even they are 6 years old with 5 lamps sets through them.
    TIme to relamp but I'm hung on replace or relamp. Cost is the same and the LEDs have twice the usable lifespan, lower amp draw, lower heat.
    I lucked out on the T5s as Home depot had a pile of open box units they had marked down to half price.
    Think I paid $12 each x4 for the current fixtures.
    Papa is shopping new LEDs if I remember. Let me ask Paulie or one of the other inside guys.

    I wish I could grow outside. Must be nice to walk outside to such a beautiful sight.

    It's a double edged blade.
    Most of the years I grew it was illegal as can be and I sweated every moment the damn plants were in the ground from mid May till harvest at Halloween.

    It's been Legal in California since 1996 and I should have stopped waking up in the middle of the night in a dead sweat thinking WTF am I doing long ago ??

    LMAO Now I grow 4 harvests a year outside and do you think my brain understands it's more legal then ever?
    Nope. HAHAHAHahhahaha I still walk out and think WTF for that initial moment when the stink of them in the hot sun hits me, then reality sinks in and I'm Ohh ya it's all good.

    Hell a seed was a felony and one live plant let alone six would get you cultivation with intent for sales charge if the DA wanted to be a dick.

    I like separate lights for the maneuverability but if going into a flower tent I’d want the extra wattage of the single lamp, maybe get another small panel for supplemental lighting. Tough to say really I’m so used to my 2x4 plus I’m barbaric with my lights, no par meter no dimming either burn them up or don’t lol

    What's the readings with them lights?
    I have a 4 pack 2ft t5s leds forget the brand but the lux readings suck even though they seem great.. im only getting 7,000 lux but thats not reading the blue spectrum light its also getting said to be equal to 100watts.. my total *listed* watts are about 1,000.
