27 is a good temp yes and yes raise them a bit possibly. They are adjusting so sometimes it takes a while to slowly turn them up each plants different.
Look at the VPD chart for early flower and 26c not sure off the top of my. Head what your humidity shiuld be but that humidity seems good enough.
@Nicky @dbrn32 @Hellraiser and anyone else wanting to chime in. I donât need lights, was looking at 2021 LED light comparisons and browsing brands they named. THIS, was NOT one of them, just happened upon it looking at the others. The âEngrishâ disturbs me in the description/specs but what do you think about this fixture in :
1.coverage
2.PPFD and spectrum pics on left
3.price for the coverage and components used
4. would you recommend it?
5. any idea if in their description theyâre saying ALL but the âfar redâ LEDs are 301-bâs but those are Epistar?
EDIT* THIS time i decided to include the link (hehe) 
Amazon.com
Impossible to know without a par meter, like you said anyone can put up stats but are they believable?
Iâm sure it will grow, how efficient it is is another question and how fast itâs quality will degrade us another
Better than any burple but I really donât trust anyone other than the 3 I spoke of above.

Iâm with you on that, and like dealing with âknown variablesâ especially in reputations for quality products. I also know though, that no âstart upâ will ever GET rated âas goodâ or be given the limelight in suggestion, if no one takes the time to TRY it 
I donât have the almost 400 to drop on it or i WOULD, lol. I am already playing guinnea pig to see how well these two blurpleish BestVA 1500 series dual chips will do. they did nice vegging and are now flowering the same two gals. i already boughtâem and missed return window by ONE DAY, no joke. PurpNGold and i laughed at the irony in that (timing of thinking âi should send these backâ and being a day late and dollar short ). I also bought the 200W barrina full spectrum LED and it has TWO plants under it alone, and is doing a nice job but iâll probably add an HLG 100 to it for that closet to make it golden
If par meters or even better yet appogge meter you could probably get a ton of free lights once your page got populat testing popular ones.
People like 3rd party reviews helps sell products.
Unfortunately you ussualy have to put up a big chunk of money or have a bunch of friends with lights to get content first.

I wouldnât buy it. Like Nicky said, that doesnât mean you couldnât get it and run some nice crops with it.
Iâm not a bargain hunter either. Not because Iâm loaded or anything, just learned the hard way on a few items earlier in life. If I have to spend a little more to have confidence in performance, longevity, or service, I most certainly will. Itâs my opinion the best combination of that is coming from the US based companies that all of the other companies are copying. I could be wrong too, but thatâs where Iâm at with things. Not to mention the handful of companies that said they were using same leds but were busted using lower performance models or even different brands of leds altogether.
If you simply cannot afford to save up for a from horticulture lighting group, chilled tech, fluence etc, I get that too. Just look around at the forum for a member growing with light you are looking at. If they have a couple of documented grows and results look to be in line with your expectations, then you are probably safe. But I wouldnât jump on anything new claiming to be just as good but half the price.

Sorry, I never recommend lights made in China.

Results are in, I was impressed with the Photone app, pretty close to the Apogee when a diffuser is used, totally wack without a diffuser.
Starting with the Apogee SQ-626 in the flowering tent
Get a reading of 1297
Will place phone at same location with diffuser
With diffuser removed
Pretty close, had similar results in the veg tent. Apogee showed 321 at plant tops
Photone with diffuser
Without diffuser

@Hellraiser Awsome!

Well thatâs impressive and @BobbyDigital called it lol.
Hopefully my s8 Samsung is as accurate as your iPhone

This has been in the back of my head since I bought my 1st HLG. The driver says made in china, the chips I believe are made in S. Korea yet it comes in a box saying made in America. Shouldnât it say assembled in America? I will still buy more of thier lights as they do make a difference in the grows Iâve used them on. No biggie just weird to me. And thanks for the comparison of the apps I doubt Iâll have an Apogee within my reach to compare it to

These results are comparable to the testing Iâve seen on YouTube.

@whatbuddyboy ,
Why you not running the Led evenly with the D.E. HPS , you might run into intense over lapping your light intervals , Iâve had that same issue before and had to rethink that, if you think about it , you want your HPS as your main and LED as supplemental just because of the Ultraviolet in the HPS is by far the highest unless those LED panels have UV diodes .
In my opinion now , and from my personal experiences , you might want to spread them just a bit more and if you have the gadgets to measure , please do so but you will have aggressive growth in your over lapping verses the full canopy . Plus another experience, you might want to spread out the plants a bit more also , at least a body gap so you can assess the plants from all sides and angles, this will help them breath much better . I donât think you using gas , but gap them out a bit more and reset your over lapping so you can maximize the uv in the HPS and use the LED for trichome and resin building and supplemental lights evenly with the HPS to cover they over lapping . Itâs just a bit crowded and you can have a serious mold issue later on due to the high heat and how much water vapor will the plants release late in flower on top each other that much can be a sure nightmare to come . Arm space your lights and you have the right concept surely , but you can triple it if you find more space .
In something to this regards as spacing like this , cause the run before this one I had them cramp up bunch up all on top each other and I lost more than it was worth smoking . I think you would do much better and not have that issue unless you are experienced with it and you have done it before . I had to space mines out with the Cutilux Fixtures I run with the Evolution Eva Series!

Yeah some things canât help but get from China, like the drivers, no other real choice. Just like Iâd love to have an american made cell phone but the choice is not there. But I try to limit the money Iâm sending to China to the least amount necessary.
