5x5 best light?

[xtsho]

I'd throw a 1000 watt HPS in there for $175 and call it a day. But I'm cheap. I don't like spending money I don't have to for the same end result. And I know this is the LED section and I mentioned HID but I referred you here and it looks like you're getting responses so I get a pass.

It's not just light that is going to determine yield it's also strain and other things. So think about that. Just getting the so called "Best" light is not going to guarantee huge yields. There are many other factors that are going to determine the final weight of your grow.

You could spend over $1000 on a light and some guy could grow the same strain with a cheap HPS and blow your grow away. Don't get focused on one aspect of growing. It's a combination of everything that leads to big yields of quality cannabis. Not just the light. A light won't work miracles if other things are not optimum. You can't just flip a switch with a new light and suddenly get massive increases in your yields unless you're a damn good grower and everything else dialed in.

Iv already hit 626g jarred in a 4x2 area it’s absolutely possible

That’s almost 3 ounces per square foot. I’m not calling you a liar but I definitely don’t believe it lol

Ok watch .just ordered the slim 650s tent arrives Monday for shits I’ll post the entire grow on this thread we shall see

 

[Buddernugs]

Bet money I pull at least 2.5lb off this light first go around

If I don’t ill call you daddy

This is one main top of many that I pulled off her...every top was about this size

I’ll be honest that top you pulled there looks undercooked from what I see. I mean you’re claiming a lot and still going on about flushing. That one picture where you started flushing at week six hopefully you let it go for a good bit before pulling that down. Also trying to figure out why you would want to flush. As for fohse I’m going to see what their lights are all about. Talked to them a few days ago. I’m going to pull the trigger on 12-15 of those a 1500 watt monsters and put them in one of my rooms to see what they’ll do.

I think more people would be impressed with you just admitting a failure and moving on w/o being so defensive.

I never flush I’ll go back and re read my post but that one grow with week 6 out of 12 was a wash we had 3 weeks on non stop rain in my area at the time and I was un experienced enough to fuck it proper so no way to tell what I would have yeilded, as for the white widow I believe I let her go just a tad under 14 weeks counting day 1 as flip day, iv heard some people who grow ilgm ww state some times they get one that takes 16 weeks to properly finish so you might be correct on chopping to soon I just couldn’t wait any longer

Oh ok I gotcha now lol ya by flush I meant flushed the whole crop down the shitter...... fucking heart breaking.......but no way I’m guna put my name on something sub par,that I know has fuzz on it......I might be an ass hole with a detrimental amount of pride but I’m not a greedy sack of shit so I flushed it all and started over

Also I wish you luck with them man truth be told if I had The Tall ceilings needed for them I would have went with that instead of the Optic 650s,I’d love to see what a 5000$ light could grow that would be the bees knees

Also alot of people hitting over three units per 4x4 table

Yea but they using hps. Easy as fuck. Cheap to buy too. If you were thinking 800 watt led in 5x5 why would you not run a 1000 watt DE? The 11 extra bucks in power cost?

 

[Scuzzman]

In my view best light for 5 x 5 are https://growlightsaustralia.com/ , there are a few grows using these lights on RUI, they are a sponsor of this forum and offer discount to members......

I hit 9LBS of Red Diesel on a 4' x 8' using Chilled logic pucks. If you count the area of growth it was more like a 5 x 10 from the overhang.

Was going to buy an optic 650s, but I’m extremely indecisive at any given point in the day...... now I’m stuck between optic slimline 650s,phototek 1000w co2 pro (after seeing Coco for cannabis and the evil genius from migro test that light and both stated there is no better light for a 5 x 5 tent/area because of all the lights they tested had trouble getting above 500 PPFD in the outer 2 feet of a 5 x 5 area except that light, and at the end of that article he stated that dr. Photon now uses one for his own personal grow and that’s the highest level of respect he can give a light manufacturing company because he’s tested so many other lights)..........but.......they haven’t tested the 650s...... so I’m trying to get out of spending 1500$ for a light and 1350$ if I choose to go with the 650s...... also are hlg’s really capable of pulling 3-4lbs out of a 5x5 tent because that’s my goal......I know I can do it because iv already hit 78g per square foot but the light I was useing won’t cover a 5x5 no mater how I position it......I just need some honest advice on getting a light that won’t set me up for failure.....thx cheers y’all

I’m in the same boat I was just about to post this but I’ll just follow your post
