    Default Need new LED light for 3x5x6.6" grow tent, $600 budget

    Ayeo,

    Would appreciate experienced feedback with some of the newer generation led grow lights, Veg to Flower, for a 3x5x6.6 grow tent. Currently have a Spider Farmer LED - SF4000, it's solid, but looking at other manufactures, US made.

    Availability is key as well.

    Budget $600

    Thanks!

    Look into the Cobs lights. JMO I have one that puts out 405W and I'm loving it.

    Couple of the HLG 260w kits will work well in a 3x5, It's what I ran before going 4x4

    Going for the 2 kits rather than the one bigger fixture gives control and flexibility over positioning, intensity and coverage. Also comes in under budget.

    Normally I would recommend VividLED as our sponsors and authorized HLG retailer, but you state your budget in dollars so assume you are in the US. Even with the forum discount shipping will sting so probably better to source in the states. When I imported from US to UK a few years ago I paid ~ £70 in import and tax and about £50 shipping.



    You can go cheaper with Chinese copies, I have one sat in it's box being unused. Ran it side by side with the genuine HLG for 1 1/2 grows and boxed it back up. Obviously the light wasn't the only variable, however the plants were smaller and less developed. Supposedly identical boards to the HLG, same chips, same spectrum, 50% of the cost.

    In my opinion the HLG are worth the extra for the quality, longevity and warranty.

    If you fancy a full diy build then check out the PhotoBoost 1.2 setup from Greengene's Garden on Youtube. $200 over your budget but worth saving up for


    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!
