I have a 8x4 room I built with a 600 hps and a 1000 hps and rheee is 12 plants in bloom. I just bought a spider farmer 2000 do u think I should put in tent and remove the 1000 hps and replace with a 600hps? So it would be 600hps-2000 led -600hps would that be suck any light in my flower tent to cover the full 12 in 8x4? And then I got a 600 hps in a 5x5 tent over 8 autos. What would be the best way to distribute the lights. I also have a spare 4x4 room I built. Was thinking of taking some flowering plants out of my 8x4 leaving 2 600 hps in with 8 plants then 4 in other tent with the 2000 led and put my 1000 in tent upstairs? I’m so confused just need help cuz I had 8led I sold em all to get hps now swit hing bk to hps cu 84/ way cheeper and just as good outcome any help please email me at ryanmayhew1982@gmail.com looking for exsperinced growers with usage of both kinds of lights.

8x4 = 2 1k HID lights OR 2 HLG 600Rspec V2's or HLG 550Rspec V2

5x5= 1k HID or 1 HLG 600Rspec V2

Sell the 600's and get stepped up to where I just pointed you....

Before you decide to sell off the HID.
Remember that LED, even these top of the line units. Don't have the penetration of HID.
Therefor you have to grow shorter plants then with HID.
HID will run tall indoor plants. BUT, as long as you can control the heat. I feel that high end LED is where tents should be.
If you aren't bothered by plant #'s limits... Go straight to multi level plant racks and run only LED!
HLG makes rack specific lighting too.

I just filled an op with HLG 550 equivalents. A tad better actually. But after seeing the 600 Rspec V2's. The next op just got filled with those. I found where to get them on a price basis that about match's my "Copycat" custom builder. So I went HLG. The custom guy does 650Rspec (Diablo) copies and is bargaining to get the last op filled with those at a discount. We shall see.
My plants might have dropped a foot or so in size. But, the yield has not.
Less power used and cooling isn't hard.....
 
Let me start of by letting u know, I'm totally green... My buddy uses 15 gallon with coco... But that room is a little bigger and has 18 plants and 6 lights... And I'm not sure on the light watt, I'm guessing 600. I'd like to use smaller pots and less lights? Any input would
 
I rock an 8x12 that's off set 2.5' from center so I have a lane to work in. I run 3x 600s and kill it every single run for the past 4 yrs. Now switching over to 4x315 cmh lights next weekend.
Hey sounds great brother would it be possible to see a pic of the 8x12 set up I would greatly appreciate it
