Some indicas maybe but the way to make purple plants turn purple isn't necessarily cooler daytime temps, it's 10-15F drops in the night temps. Cooler temps can stunt growth and there is a theory (that hasn't been tested enough imho) that higher temps under LED might increase yield.
We had some autogrow journals here I think. I don't think they were big yielders but it could have been the genetics or the grower.
Actually, 2 SS400w (440w is basically the same) should work better in a square tent than just 1. With two you can go to a 3x3/3x4 and have a lot of w/sqft. I wouldn't go as big as a full 4x4 though...

I kinda figured that 2 would be better and have been thinking about it for a while now. I just wasnt sure if adding a 440w with a 400w in a 3x3 tent would make one side of the tent grow bigger or faster lol.... who knows .. i might end up grabbing a 880w instead.. lol...

No, it's only 8 more diodes and the actual draw is the same. I doubt you'd notice a difference.

Nice...
In a full 3x3 tent that's about 73w/sqft; if they don't get too tall and you keep them happy then you should have exceptional results.

Well thats what i am hoping for! the OG is growing but there both at a very slow rate. Now with a little power behind them or above them maybe they will sput up a bit! Berry is starting to stretch and flower so shes getting the full 440w my guess is shes going to go 8-9 weeks . i wanted more light in the tent because in another 2-3 weeks the 3 autos will get moved in there as well.
