Hi guys,
I am in 42th day of flowering, having 5 Shiva Skunk strains in 2x2ft tent. Right now I am having there a LED light which has 96pcs of 3W LED diod. It consumes 162W.
You can check the light out here:

I also own 2 pcs of this light: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230863017043?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
This 300W light consumes 140W. Almost all of its diods are RED. Only few of them are blue. I think there are 12 blue or white and 88 red diods.
My question is, what would be better for finishing my growth.
The 1 300W LED light (power consumption 162W which is in the tent right now or 2 pcs of the 300W lights (power consumption 140W). The first light is more expensive and seems to be better light quality.
Would it be better if I put there the 2pcs of the lights with mainly red spectrum? Would the difference be big? My goal is to reach maximum yield. I seek for GPW. The plants are doing really good, they are very nice and healthy.
I know these are not the best LED lights, but I cannot afford better ones. They seem to work good.
How high should I hang the lights above the plants? I feel like the light is more intense, when hanging low. Now I hold the light about 8in above the plants and does not make any damage on the plants. The recommendet height above the plants is 1.5ft though ... Any help will be highly appreciated
Peace
