HPS Distance from Plant

[HydoDan]

Would a 600 watt hps yeild more than a hlg quantum board that’s 550 actual watts …same conditions jw if hps is still superior

Go with LED! HPS wastes a lot of power.

What’s the best led hlg or Cobb leds ?

If I get a quantum board hlg that’s 600 actual watts can it really get me 2.5 grams a watt as advertised ? I seen cobb leds with 810 actual watts from htg supply

I have both and the hlg lights are as good as they get. Better footprint than my cobs and a little more efficient.
I don't know of any light that can guarantee 2.5 grams p/w. Marketing Crap!

What’s the best hlg there all 850$ for just the 600watts the rspec 600

 

[Kenny1234]

I see the scorpion is 1500$ and it’s 650 watts could it really be that better almost 2x same watts pretty much

 

[Kenny1234]

I might is well get the best light if I’m spending that much already what light do the professionals use lol? Hlg?

Not sure which one is best nowadays. I'm sure you will like any one you choose.
Are you familiar with PAR as opposed to watts for comparison? You can also build your own and save a ton.

Not familiar I know I’ve read a bunch of stuff about different spectrums and different paremerers but don’t really know to what affect it really matter ….only grew under a cheap led it was a visparecta off Amazon it was like 250$ and 380 actual watts did pretty good this was 3 4 years ago never cured the weed tho lol

Just ordered 3 bears og from Mephisto genetics

They sell refurbished as well https://horticulturelightinggroup.c...shed-lamps/products/refurbished-hlg-600-rspec

You may want to look around and research some of the cheaper lights. A lot of guys are doing well with them.

rather just get an hlg quantum I heard to much great stuff never heard a bad thing

You won't be disappointed! Great customer service and a top of the line light!

Omg thank you so much I didn’t see that u just saved me a ton ….I owe you lol !!!!

Got a new spider farmer sp4000 450 actual watts …

 

[Kenny1234]

I’ll get the hlg next time momey a little tight guys

Lights are lights. Your spider farmer will grow equally as good.

 

[Kenny1234]

New spider farmer 4000 450 watt I got all I could afford now what light distance for veg …at max output anyone….it’s says 26-28 inches at 75 %

Well this is an old thread Kenny but IMO and from my experience, no a 600w hps will not beat hlg550 .

But there's caveats to that. If you live in a cold climate HPS would be my preference over LED because HPS offers radiant heat and likes mid to high 70s where LED offers little radiant heat and likes low to mid 80s temp wise.

If you have to spend money heating the room it's counter productive to having a more efficiency light
