I use my HLG 650s covering a 6x6 area each one. Reason being is the over lapping light from one unit to the next at the 6ft mark is more than enough to grow good bud. If it was just 1 unit I would not do it and use in a 5x5 but higher up.
The bud below is from the 6ft area. Good enough for me.

He releases random seeds still of the ffc on his IG. Pretty rare he does it though, he was giving 5 freebies with the purchase of 2 packs of his other gear like a month ago. Prior to that I haven’t seen them available for a good year and a half.

Damn I thought the back of my canopy was hard to get to....

I don't get to it lol. I do not trim away any branches underneath so the yield suffers with each cola but I can make up for it using up the walk space with more bud lol. I have other grow rooms and even a bunch of tents I also grow in. In my 4x8s I don't trim away because I can't get to the back.

I think its funny guys arguing over what light to use. I've owned a bunch of lights and prob have a 100 lights laying around right now.
I've got those Chinese knock offs, Quantum boards, COBs, strips, 1000s, 1150s, 600s, 315s and ashamed to say some blurples lol. I bought like 14 of the blurple from King led I think it is called? Think they were like 420 watts pulled from the outlet. Grew weed but didn't like it that much lol.
All of em grew weed. Some higher than others, some of em quality is not as good. Heck I have a bunch that use the same Samsung 301b diodes but are not as bright as other company lines.
I still like the sun the best

When l changed from 1k hps l had to turn leds down to 50% or less or they freaked out, hps is not that good compared to leds. Id switch now imo. Let them get used to it, calmag use will go up. Best of luck with switch over. Leds penetrate way better.I see nothing but giant colas with these LED @600 plus watts. bk78, ricman and a few others with these huge buds. I got 6 weeks before I use mine because I'm 3 weeks in under 600 watt hps and I'm afraid to fuck it up switching midstream

I'm @ 3 weeks in flower and using the Diablo for the first time. I started them @ 400 watts under the HLG 550 Bspec for 2 weeks and the last week has been under the Diablo @ 470 the first 3 days then @ 500 watts the last 4 days. No problems so far. I guess I've been lucky because I have no idea what my temps, humidity and ppfd are.
Getting some hygrometers tomorrow and my par meter is on the way. Not sure if I need calmag yet
These are some Corey Stardawg females from a pack of regs.
This is my BBC getting going

Was thinking about this the other day. Lighting is literally the easiest aspect of growing yet it gets so much of the attention. If only HVAC and IPM got half the attention that lighting did…

What’s a gravita?Gravitas are great but they’ll perform as well as any other Samsung/osram setups out there.
what has my interest rn is the Aries from Fohse:
The Aries By Fohse - Homegrow LED Grow Light
640W Home Garden LED Grow Light. The secret of the Aries' success starts with abundant PAR focused onto your canopy by polycarbonate focal lenses.www.fohse.com

God if I had an A3I I’d be locked in my lab all Howard Hughes like
I've got one of his arrays. They are nice. He just fixed the bracket to be more stiff that connects his bars. Shane is a great guy. His product is very well done.

Here is some pics of 1 tent of mine a 4x 8 that has a couple of those Chinese knock off lights. Has samsung 301b diodes and 2 meanwell drivers. Think they are dual 240s on top of em. Grows bud and is a nice light. Lights up the whole tent nicely. They are not quite as bright as the HLG lights but very close. In a tent I would buy these lights over an HLG but in a big room I'd buy the HLGs that I cover a 6x6 area in.
Bottom pic is in the far corner so you can see it's getting plenty of light to grow good bud.

One other thing... depending on where you live also depends on what lights you might want to use. In the winter I have to turn heaters on because the leds don't generate enough heat.
If you lived in an area that was very cold and for long periods of time I think maybe some double ended HPS lights would do the trick or just stick with some good Ole single ended bulbs.
Those do grow some sick buds and able to change out the HPS for metal halide the last 2 weeks to get that extra frosty look.
