Hello all, closing in on completing my first grow in a 2x2 tent. I, like many I presume, jumped right in with a “kit” from Amazon which doesn’t always have optimized components. I am currently using a Mars Hydro TS-1000 light. It has served me well thus far. Am toying with the idea of getting a second 2x2 tent to run as a veg tent. I will likely stick to a 2x2 tent with one plant each grow. I am probably 3 weeks out from drying my current grow and wanted to start a new seedling soon to maximize grow time. Hence a small veg tent.
So I was looking at the HGL 135 for my flower tent and just move the TS-1000 to the “veg” tent. Just looking for confirmation that the HGL is a step up from the Mars I have now. Any feedback welcomed!!
Would the HGL 260 be way overkill for 2x2? Like I said I’ll likely remain in a 2x2 but have entertained going to a 2x4 at some point. I know 260 would not be overkill for 2x4 but wondering how overkill it would be in 2x2 in the event I never go bigger.
Yeah, too much for a 2x2. If you ever bump up to a 2x4 you can get another 135. That way you have more flexibility by being able to raise or lower the lights independently. I have 6 or 7 135 kits. Bspecs for veg, rspecs for flower and some older 3000k and 3500k boards.
Yes, perfect light for a 2x2 tent, and move the Mars to veg, good plan. The HLG 135 rspec is a much superior light to the Mars TS1000, more power, more light, much better for flowering.
