HLG 60 LED Supplement light

There seems to be very little information about this light online so I thought I would reach out to you guys here: has anyone had any experience using the HLG 60 Supplement light from Horticulture Lighting Group?

It’s a red spectrum booster, I am considering adding 2 of them (mounted vertical) to supplement my HLG 300 v2 for flowering in a 3x3 tent.

It’s a lot of additional light, and it may help, but I’m not buying it for the price. :wink: @aggrocraig

That’s what light is designed for, but I agree you’ll be way into light saturation for a 3x3 with two of them. You could probably get two and then dim the hlg-300.

For what its worth, those are 35" fixtures. I would make sure you can fit them first.

I have 2 hlg 65 panels in 3500 to help with my hlg 300 v2 in 3000 so like you I can angle them for better penetration in my 3x3 tent. I also have a hlg 135 red spec when i had them all in tent it wad too much for gorilla girl and started to cook buds as i was using 12 - 18 light height with some buds closer.

@Mort1 Mort do you have any pics? Or have you experienced any problems with too much light (burn)?

It’s not usually light burn that gets them, it’s not keeping them fed enough, and deficiency’s pop up. @aggrocraig

I would like to ask your opinion on a light setup for a tent.

  1. 10x5x6’8 tent. No budget, what lights would you recommend and what would your cutoff # be on plants going in 10 gal fabric soil pots?
  2. Same exact everything as option 1, but on a budget :rofl:

Chilled or HLG. Go for ~50 watts per square foot of canopy.

I would spend the most on lighting.
Grow craft chilled led, hlg, pacific lighting concepts, are all good lights that will get you the results you expect. I think it mostly depends on how much I grow space you need. Then decide on a fixture. 10 feet is a lot.
I grow in 3 gallon pots for indoor. No reason for them to be any bigger.

When it came to the planter size and the tent, I went with the approach of rather having a little extra rather than not enough. I havent seen the results of my light setup yet as im still in the process of my first grow, but I know I want to invest in a high quality setup instead of the more wallet friendly option I went with.

How long do you run in veg stage having the 3 gallon pots? Ive read those are ideal for autos, but havent seen anything for regular fems?

I try for 2 months, but usually it ends up being 3 months.

No root bound plants or any other issues? That sounds like a pretty large plant for that pot size from all that ive read here on ilgm

Hey quick question, I have a 27x27x63 Mars Hydro tent with a Maxisun Pb1000. Ive had to make some changes to my previous setup and I cant afford to upgrade right now. I’m planning to run Jacks on two Jack Herer feminized seeds from seedsman. Are there any lights I can add to help grow a bigger plants?
