Yours must not be the pro 2000w. They're certainly not semi-blurple. I previously used the BESTVA 4000, a complete blurple that grew a Romulan pretty nicely but wouldn't do anything for my other plants.
I am interested in your HLG, do they make those lights for a 2 x 5 setup, and without getting hot? I'm noticing the only downside to my grow is yield. I don't know if another LED will fix the issue, I pretty much have all my other bases covered. The thing is - I see lots of pics on here of various LED grow lights that don't look any more powerful than mine. Maybe just larger footprint. I was talking to dr greenthumb the other day and he pulls 1-4 pounds dry weight for each plant under checkerboard HPS 1000w. I used to run those lights and not harvest that much, but I certainly did better than I am with these BESTVA LEDs.
It's weird because the trade off is I get to be a lazy bastard and not have to deal with ventilation. I'm in an apartment so not going to cut holes in walls. I am going to move soon, maybe into a a house - and I'm going to go back to HPS unless I can find an LED light that will increase yield... any advice is always appreciated!
. As you know im too aware of noise, and im a little too focused on it cause im person with anxiety. My first homebox tent with big sturdy zipper is loud as wild sex with chick from the bar, i guess those oils are good solutions. I heard even pencil (graphite from it) can lubricate the zipper
