I’d say the draw from the wall is very useful to know so you can tell if you are getting what you think you paid for? Definitely not saying all 100w lights are created equal.
The draw from the wall is the most important factor in any light.
this is good to hear as I’d be happy with yeilding 2oz tbh, the first plant I did when I was 15 I only got a 1/2 so long as it’s more than that ha
Lol no just my mates paying the leccy billunless you steal electricity.
I think you can do it. But you'll need to veg for awhile longer to fill the space out best you can. You've already topped the bigger one which is good. I might go one step further and LST it, just to keep it around that hieght if it keeps stretching and let the younger one catch up. then you could flip to 12/12 flower.
Ya looking at the specs it looks like this light is using using older Samsung diodes. Not the worst, but there's better available now. Better brands would have diodes that use that 100W more efficiently with a better CRI.
With only 2 plants , this is your best idea.... lst them to fill up your area. 100 watts aint much but it can work and can work a lot better then most think. 25watt per sq ft is enough to get decent buds.
Thanks, will look into LST
lm281b+ yes they are older but they are not much less efficient then newer models. 160lm per watt is great ! There are only a couple samsung diodes that are more efficient. lm301b and H is the highest on the market and i believe the lm561c+ might be a tad higher at 170lm per watt ish. As far as numbers are concerned , you did great if it was cheap.

100w is useless for flowering, I use a 90w UFO on seedlings
I've had this discussion a few times, so short version, there are too many factors to take into account for draw from the wall to be accurate for LEDs.
These questions are super easy math with a data sheet.
Yes , obviously this is true. LED has came a LONG way in 10 years.
Yes, they are, and that's where you'll find the info you need. It really doesn't matter how many watts it uses if you know what the ppfd is at what height. If you know that, the wattage, both used and claimed equivalence, are irrelevant.
