As time goes on the prices will get better no doubt,so biding your time is a good thing.Keep your eyes out for flash sales etc.
Good luck with whatever you decide as anything is better than HPS….No more burnt hair

If I were to stick with hps which I really don’t think I will but if I did I’d get a new digi ballast and go with a double ended bulb. I’ve never really looked into light efficiency before but it seems that single ended hps with a magnetic ballast is not the best option. I’d probably use one of these newer bulb types which I can’t remember the name of that give better efficiency and spectrum.
For me summer temps are always a real problem and as my house is small winter temps don’t really go much below 12c at night so an led on during the with lower fan speeds is possibly enough to raise temps to a manageable low.
I’ll keep checking stuff out and get in touch with LED Harry soon for some advice and info but I’m almost certain it’s going to be either the new Zeus 2.9, the HLG 650r or the migrow array 12 pro. I think either will give me loads of light for a 5’x5’ space, I just need to find out which has the best coverage to the edges as that’s important with a scrog.
Which ever one I choose I’m super excited as they seem miles ahead of my old hps so hopefully with a new light, tent and hydro system I’ll be able to have a really good scrog grow early next year which I’ll do a diary for (better than my last one here lol). I still managed 24oz in the end on my last grow with a 600w hps and a battle with stem rot the whole time but it really was a fight and I had a lot of popcorn, maybe close to half the harvest.
The HLG scorpion diablo (I think that’s what it’s called) looks like probably the best but I don’t know if I can spend that much realistically, I’d have to sell my bike or wife or something.
HLG 600R best purchase ive ever made

If/when you swap. Just be ready for a few adjustments the environment willl change on you and will need dialling in. Also get a par meter if your able.
I have am using the Zeus 600 it’s amazing and they do a 1000 watt one now which is mental but hey ho.
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
