Best lights?
    #846465 - 08/11/20 10:53 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys. I'm trying to find the perfect light for a 2x4x5 tent. Right now I have a marz hydro ts1000. It's ok so far. Last grow I used vivusun 300w came with tent. I also have a cheap little 300w purplish led.
I just watched a review on the marz hydro and it wasnt so good.
Can anyone point me into good direction to get some healthy buds?
I know the marz is for a smaller space than my tent.
Thanks in advance.
Hobbit

I have a bunch of the qb96 elite v2 boards from HLG and so far I like them.  There are more efficient options out there, but the qb96 is a good value.  However, with a height of only 5', you'd probably want a strip light, so you can run it closer to the canopy and maximize vertical space.

If you can DIY, you'll save a ton of money and end up with a really nice light.  Before I got the 96s I was considering 4' samsung f-series strips with the lm561c diodes.  Then came the lm301b, and 301h diodes.  Not sure which strips use those, or which is the best anymore.

Actually, you could also do a build with the qb132 v2's.  I'd use 8 of them for your 2x4, it would be a tight fit but you'd have really nice coverage.  With a little planning you could even leave room in the frame for near-uv diodes, which can increase cannabinoid and terpene content.
