    HLG 550 vs HLG 600

    Can someone please explain why the 550 is much more expensive with almost identical output. I know the 550 is slightly more efficient but is it worth the few hundred more? Also why does the 600 only have a 1 yr warranty vs the 3 year warranty on the 550. Is the extra 300$ simply for slightly...

    Seems like these lack a lot in the blue spectrum based on the spectrum chart.

    First time grow 4 x 8 lighting suggestions

    I do already have a full co2 system so pushing past 1400w is definitely an option.

    First time grow 4 x 8 lighting suggestions

    How much heat do those 600’s produce? Would you recommend suplplementing side bar lighting around the edges to encourage density growth? Along with the 2 hlg-600. I believe I have the other stuff down and already have all the equipment to maintain proper ph and my tap ppm is really low to start...

    First time grow 4 x 8 lighting suggestions

    Thank you for the information. So would you recommend cob over any other setups. And I should be looking for at least 1200 theorictcal output or actual wattage pulled from the wall?

    First time grow 4 x 8 lighting suggestions

    I’m open to DIY but currently I know next to nothing about setting one up so I’d prefer pre built. Thank you for the suggestion on the light. It looks great but something that worries me is only have a 1 yr warranty as opposed to many other companies offering 3 years.

    First time grow 4 x 8 lighting suggestions

    hey everyone, I’m getting ready to start my first ever indoor grow in a 4 x 8 gorilla tent with an 8 bubble flow bucket system from super closet. I’ve been doing so much researching and review reading on lighting and I’m simply on information overload. I’ve considered ViparSpectra, Kind, MIGRO...

    Overkill?

    Thank you very much for the info. I’m still pretty new to the LED world so I have a lot to learn. I will check out the led section and continue my research.

    Overkill?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, i always enjoy research and learning but having no experience has prevented me from thinking its a viable option. I’ll look into it further and check out some diy kit packages. Thanks!

    Overkill?

    I’m looking at those now. I guess I need to do more research on COBs and calculating wattage per sq ft as I don’t understand the price difference for what appears to be less wattage for double the price.

    Overkill?

    I unfortunately am not comfortable building my own led although I’ve seen some very successful setups doing so. My other option I was considering was 2 MIGRO 400s.

    Overkill?

    So when calculating overall wattage for led I should not be using what they’re equivalent hps is but what they actually draw to output? I was under the impressions that 6 400w leds would be considered 2400w not 1,200. I don’t want to run hps as I won’t really be able to vent the heat anywhere...

    Overkill?

    Hey all, I’m getting a 4 x 8 grow setup and considering using 6 450w viparspectra leds to test them out. Do you think this would be overkill? I plan on using a hydro bubble bucket ebb/flow system and adding co2. Plan on growing 8 plants at a time. Mainly curious is the led wattage is overkill...
