Build? cant I buy them built?
There is a site that builds them for you for a small fee. @dbrn32 might know the site. I would go with a bunch of 260xls if it were me for different plant canopy levels. Donât feel bad when i came back to growing After a 2 year break my 3 lights i spent 1900$+ on and used for 2 grows were no longer what people were using. Well i sold those 3 lights for about 700. Built 3 new lights for around 1700$ and got almost 3x the coverage of those blurples now.
Did you read my prior post? I gave you the sites that have the built lights⌠all those up there are prebuiltâŚthe 550 is the 550watt lightâŚthe 320 is 320 watt, etc. That is merely a sprinkling of whatâs out thereâŚ
guess I didnt get the information
whats the secret about the lights here? Just post the links so the Pot growing can get better⌠geez, Im asking

We can only post links to approved vendors (I.e. amazon, dealzer, aliexpress) and HLG is not on the approved vendor list.

16-20oz per 3ft? Yeah, you misread that.
Thatâs per 3 square feet, or in a tent that is 3ftx3ft. So in one tent that size, under ideal conditions, you can get maybe a lb in one grow cycle.

Here you goâŚmany optionsâŚwithout knowing your budget and your floor plan and number of plants etc itâs difficult to fine tune recommendations that would be best suited for your situation.
If you arenât comfortable putting them together yourself you can contact one of the reseller and they will do that for you for an additional small fee and ship them plug and play.
Horticultural Lighting Group is the supplier and you can order from them but they usually charge more for them to protect their distributors pricing from distributors like growerslights or grow lights depot or the others listed on the HLG site as there are 4 or so suppliers to choose from and all will pre assemble them for an added fee.
Hope this helps

There are guidelines when posting on this forum as explained above. Hopefully you can understand that and from my post be able to surf to those web sites without a working link

Thatâs good stuff, @Skydiver.
If you go LED, then I would recommend 260XLs for the most coverage bang for the buck in a larger space. The 320s do put out a lot of light, but a 260XL will cover the same sq ft and do just fine. Go with 320s if you want really intense lighting.
I run a 260 XL for every 2 plants (approximately every 2âx4â of canopy.)
You will want to get Rspecs for flowering.

This is just my opinion but with a 12âx12â total space the HLG 600H fixtures would be less total dollars to cover a space that big but the advantage of the smaller fixtures like the HLG 260 XL would be the versatility of being able to raise or lower each that covers a 2x4 space based on plant height. The HLG 600H covering 4x5 space you are limited more with height above plants as itâs one fixture for the space where the 260 is 2 fixturesâŚI have both modelsâŚas well as the PLC fixtures and Iâm happy with them all. The HLG 600H is much more of a beast relating to the total PAR output across the space compared to either of the others but again things depend on needs
Edit to add my coverage specs are for flowering. The veg coverage is much larger

Good point. You can almost cover a 12x12 with 2 of those. Youâd have to mount them higher, but itâs plenty of light and is less expensive.
It will really come down to how that space is laid out including walkways in between / middle etc.
I have / needed two of the HLG 600H to cover my 4x8 tent so they would need more than 2 for a 12x12 for flowering etc
May use combination of several models again comes down to designing the space to figure all that out and number of plants and all
very pricey units, WOW
I know rightâŚbutâŚ
2 ounces per plant with cheap lights or 6,8,10 etc ounces per plant or more with great lights along with environment dialed inâŚup to you but just do the math as the added cost for quality lights will pay for themselves in a couple grows.
We arenât here to sell lights but to help educate on the importance and end results of them. You would need many many of the cheap lights to cover that area effectively.

The difference in yields with good lighting is impressive. If I had a choice Iâd run fewer plants with better lighting.
