HLG 350R vs HLG 300L

[still_smoked]

Is the $100 difference worth it?

What size space is it going in?

Edit: I'd say yes. More watts = more light = better yield/dense forearm buds.

Other edit: If it's for your 3x5 I'd go with a twin of the 300L you already have.

F
Depends on the space. For a 4x2 or similar dime sioned space id say yes.

They are the exact same price per watt. And that’s a lot less per watt than their larger lights. If you take a hundred dollars off their scorpion r spec its that same 1.66 per watt magic number. Curiouser and curiouser.

that white one looks like a good deal.

The 350R or the Scorpions? I think those are new I just got the 300L last month.

I have a 3x5 so I just want to maximize the space

well if you already have a 300L and a 3x5 i agree with the other guy putting another one in there makes good sense to me. I'm just high and was looking at some patterns in HLGs pricing hahah. Anyway they are the same price per watt so the difference is efficiency only and ~500 watts is more than enough for that space. some ppl would say the R spec spectrum is better too,

Correct, in the 3x5. I got the rack out so now I’m thinking I should get a bigger light or you are thinking another 300L?

I got my current one off amazon and can still return.

I want to maximize the space and like you said the more light the better is what it comes down to.

The scorpions won’t fit in my space. So it’s 650R and down.

But can there be to much light? Will the 650 hurt the plants?

It can be dimmed.. lowering intensity will or should extend diode life.

It should actually be fine. that's 40w per sqft.

Nice ok, probably will look into a bigger light then!

 

[pulpoinspace]

i know its not cheaper but i would probably rather have 2 300L than one 600R.

i grow with much closer to 30 watts per square foot as well.

Same here.

If you alread have a 300, just buy another one.

Why 2 300s over the one 600? Just asking

but I already sent the light back and am waiting for the 600 to come in.

getting ready to do my first run

Why 2 300s over the 1 600?

 

[HydroKid239]

Why 2 300s over the 1 600?

2 300's probably for flexibility with spread and using in smaller spaces. I'm just guessing tho. I run a 2x2 and 2x4.

Yep. I prefer more smaller lights than one big one. And he already has 1 300, so I'd say get another 300. For my 2x4 veg tent I like 2 HLG 135's vs a single 260.

If you already sent it back why are we having this discussion. Case closed.
