First time posting in the forum. I'm getting ready for a first time grow and I'm trying to decide what to use for lights. I live in Mexico and certain resources are problematic. My question is about BR30 or BR40 LED flood light bulbs. Has anyone tried using a series of these types of bulbs for growing? I've seen similar setups using CFLs and was hoping someone might have some experience with something like this.
My thought was to use 6 to 8 of the BR30s at 5000K for veg and then switch to 8 to 10 BR30s at 2700K for flowering (maybe a mix of both). Both are labeled as "Daylight." The BR30s consume 9 watts and produce 650 lumens where the BR40s consume 17watts and produce 1,550 lumens.
I'd be using these on 6 to 8 plants and intend to ScrOG as well.
Here are typical links.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Cheers
