Timber Fatty VS or Gavita 1650?

[Project Ponics]

building a 5x5 tent to fit 4-6 plants in at a time. Was going to get a hlg 550 v2. But after research I think I’m going to go with a timber fatty vs or a gavita 1650. Any recommendations? Currently running a simple 4x2 with a diy Samsung strip led at about 300-325w. Will be turning my 4x2 into a veg tent and the 5x5 for flower.

I also have a brand new 8x4 tent I was considering using. But can’t afford all the light to fill it. I do have about 1000w worth the T5s I was thinking about setting up but it’s all small fixtures and don’t want to run that many in a 4x8.

25sq ft to 32sq ft is quite close. You should use the 8X4. Way more 4X4 options than 5X5=

Use the 8x4 and just use half of it? I just thought that would be a little too much space. If I do that I’d get another light down the road.

Your light is $1,359.
Gavita is a $1,153 light?

Don’t see how that’s “way” cheaper?

Canadian dollars, $1019 USD. I wonder what the spectrum looks like.

All three look like good lights, the Timber has the lowest efficiency, but a third more watts.

 

[Project Ponics]

Canadian dollars.

Didn't see that... so it's $1,017

I’m only assuming you’re running one? I’m debating between that, a timber redwood vs or that bcblonde.

 

[1212ham]

Looks like more than one.

Hell yeah nice man! For a 4x4?

I’m still 100% set on getting two Redwood VS for my 8x4.

Just waiting until I get back from vacation in two weeks to order it. Still gives me time to look.
