I purchased a 24x24x48 tent for mother plants and vegging clones. After my current grow I plan on keeping a schedule for perpetual grows. Would the HLG 100 V2 be my best option for that size tent or is there a better choice? I know the kits are cheaper, but I don’t feel comfortable putting them together. ---

Make sure that you get an Rspec board. You’ll need the red spectrum for flowering. ---

I have the 600 rspec for my 4x4 tent. The 2x2 will only be used for veg ---

Should be good then. ---

You could even go with a 65. The thing is that neither one is dimmable, whereas the 135 B-Spec kit is. You’re the only one who can determine your level of comfort, but I’d watch an assembly video on YouTube before making up my mind. ---

I did not realize it was not dimmable, heck I didn’t even look. That would’ve been a huge mistake on my part. Thanks for pointing that out! I found a video online I’m gonna show my husband. Hopefully we can figure it out together. I definitely want a dimmer. ---

Hlg-65 would be plenty if you plan on doing is veg, just stay on 18 hour schedule. ---

I went with the 135 b spec. Should be here Tuesday. ---

The kit came early. It wasn’t too difficult to put together unless you have crap wire strippers 🙄 But, it’s done and it works. Is there a dimmer knob I can buy to install on the 135 b spec? I didn’t realize the dimming capabilities was a screwdriver 🤷🏻‍♀️ @KeystoneCops @dbrn32 ---

I don’t think so. What is model number of driver they sent with? ---

I have the 2x2x4 tent sitting on my dresser, which makes it almost 7 feet tall. I’m a short chick, so I’m gonna have to get a step stool, lol. I didn’t think it would be safe to leave the screwdriver in there? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/a/a/aaa1297dbc0bd0d9e4d73790ade6a2558b6b6f42.jpeg) ---

That is serial number, im looking for part/model number. May look like hlg-120h-54A? If that is part number, no remote dimming can be wired to thst driver. You could leave the screwdriver in it if it helps, but will probably take up a lot of room. The best solution i could think of would be to leave driver outside off of fixture and outside of tent. You would just need to extend wiring from driver output to the boards. ---

Thanks for your help. It is hlg-120h-54A. Wish I would’ve thought of leaving the driver outside the tent before I cut all the wiring shorter to make it look nice and neat. Hlg did send a mini Phillips screwdriver. Guess I’ll use that and go pick up a cute old lady step stool lol. Oh well, no biggie. I can’t see needing more than 60-90 watts for clones and mother plants. ---

You can pick up spool of wire on Amazon to do it with if you get tired of it. ---

Great choice if you got the kit they are extremely easy to assemble plus there are 100s of videos on YouTube to take you step by step i also just order a 2x2 and a 135bspec kit for all of my seedlings and clones side note just realized its already arrived and together haha ---

Hey @Brobdab didn’t want to clog hell’s thread but I asked @latewood the same question and here is his answer ![Screenshot_20210711-140614_Chrome](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/1/a/81a2b741b6beef1ecac368f3764017c3cb952230.jpeg) It is really amazing stuff! Do a search on those four things and you’ll be amazed too. If I had anywhere near me to harvest those kinds of materials(desert) I’d give it a go ---
