LED light holding my plant back?

First indoor grow as well as first time using an LED grow light. Golspark 600w grow light ordered from Amazon in a 2x2x4 tent. Veg went really well I thought so I flipped to flower after 2 months. I knew they were too tall and would stretch once flipped but didn't anticipate the amount of growth.
Now I'm in the beginning of week 6 of flowering and I don't feel like the girls are getting what they need from this light. The buds look nice and have tons of white healthy looking hairs but they dont seem to be fattening up. What do you guys/gals think?

Yeah man, they are far behind where they should be.

Took me a bit to find your light, its 100w despite the 600w title, with lights like that you want 50w per square foot so your only half way to been lit up enough.

I assume you have both switches turned on , not just bloom switch?

Bottom line is you need more light. Though you may not see the full benefit 6 weeks in its still not too late to add more.

Ya, if and when you decide to get more light, do some research here first. Go for white based light in 3000K color temp

Yes both switches have been on since sprout 3+ months ago. So great for Veg but nowhere near par for flower. That's disappointing as I thought they were looking fantastic just not fat enough for my expectations

Ive been researching the Mars Hydro TS 600 as an upgrade. It seems to have rave reviews and within budget. Thoughts on the product?

I just got mine in and setup. It's a lot brighter than the 600W Maxsisun I had before. It actually hurts my eyes to be in the same room with it. Also, they're cheaper on the Mars Hydro website than on Amazon.

Thanks for the response. I just went ahead and ordered. Hope it's not too late and can help put more meat on these girls bones lol

Would have greatly reccomended you get the ts1000 over the 600.

Thank you for the response. I canceled my order for the 600 and am going to order the 1000 directly from Mars Hydro

Great idea. The 600 is sketchy cause it doesn't even use a driver. Just a ton of smoothing resistors and filters to bring down 120V AC mains right to the board.
The TS1000 at least uses a driver

I just figured I can spend the extra $50 for maximum coverage in my tent. The goal is high yields on a budget haha

The 600 uses a driver, it's just built into the frame. It doesn't sit on top like the other ones.

Mars responds that it's "in the PCB board". Meaning resistors and rectifies, current smoothing and filtering components.
Then at the bottom say it's their "own brand" so I don't know WTF to think.
All I know is TS600 trips me out.

Well I'm excited for the 1000 to arrive. Hopefully it'll help make my girls thicc lol. Not bad for a bagseed grow either way lol

Your new light is still only 100 watts,how will it be any better than what you have now?

From what I've read its 150 watts with a bigger coverage area than what I have. Currently this is a hobby for personal use and I'm only working in a 2x2x4 tent. $140 for a new light was a punch in the gut and im not interested in the DIY route so that seemed my best option.

Hlg is a better option by far,mars uses low grade components and stolen tech.

Yea but the space I have for my tent is not set up for that type of heat management nor do I want to add in an a/c to help. This was suppose to be a budget venture yet I'm into it around $300 now. Way over the $150 budget I initially set for myself when these girls popped.

Their shoddy , deceitful practices alone should be cause for banning their products.

Totally read that as HID instead of HLG lol. I'm sure HLG is leaps and bounds better but the cheapest DIY kit was $450 on their website. $150 trumps $450 all day everyday for me haha
