So how big of an area of plants can you light well with that Viparspectra 700 light and how high over the plants do you have them? I purchased a 300W (really 165 I think) model and was hoping to use it to cover 2 1020 trays worth of plants.

I'm also curious how much better these "pink" grow lights work than the 6000K LED T8 replacements for starting seedlings. I've been using T8 LED replacements and they seem to work okay, but I've had some weird issues I think are a result of the lack of UV or just the uneven spectrum of their light. Of course it could always be watering issues or something else as well.

Thanks.

p.s. I had my plants out all day when it was warm here last week and they showed no signs of needing to be hardened off first, at least in terms of sunlight.
