I would focus on the climate control, then get other lights.

A fan would be helpful, for instance.

honestly build it yourself, for a 600w kit you can get cheap crees from china off alibaba shipped for 800, hlg will charge you 1800 dollars for it put together. save a grand.

That can't be. Timber only charged me about $275 for 200 watts, fully assembled. 1800 for 600w seems outrageous.

they arent lensed so no. I think it would be very rare to find a waterproof grow light.

Sometimes I go nuts with the spray gun, I start trying to make a tropical storm in the grow area I turn the fans up full blast and let rip with the spray gun flashing the lights on and off like thunder and lightning so they need to be water resistant at least, i do this to raise the humidity naturally

Seriously bro thanks for info I’m going to look further into it you are right it’s better than paying double just not too confident about it myself probably underestimating myself again, cheers

I doubt HLG charges $1800 for 600w.

Yeah, wow.. I wish TastyLED hadn't turned in. I like Timber. They give me a vet discount, too.

QB lights are pretty much plug and play. You just attach the driver and go, I believe. And I think the leads click in?

okay HLG qb are 500W and 1050 bucks put together

Black Dog is a fucking scam. You want anything with COBs, QBs, or Bridgelux EB or Samsung F strips. They should be brand name, either Bridgelux, Cree, Citizen, or Samsung. Try any of these RIU sponsors:

Heat is your issue, right? Any kind of fan appropriate to moving air around in the size of your grow.

Probably. Unless the issue is strictly light stress, in which case, raise the light.

Yeah I have had them way up trying to give the girls a break as the temps are hitting 32 degrees and nothing I can do about it. I like it around 25 and I have got new strains which I don’t know how resilient they are and I hate nanners
