Hey guys need some advice I’m new to growing and I’m trying to upgrade to new light I currently have a maxisun pb1000 and seems to be working fine but been reading and seen most people recommend the hlg lights is the hlg 65 a good starter light? I currently have 2x2 grow tent

The HLG is only a 65 watt light and is too weak to use as a primary light. The other issue with it is that the light has no red spectrum, so you can’t flower a plant with it.
I suggest an HLG 260 Rspec for 2 plants.

So how about my current light? What do you think of the maxisun?
It is a 200w light that should be capable of flowering 1 plant.

No it’s a 100w if I’m correct.
Thank you for the advice

You will not go wrong with the HLG light suggested. Also later if you expand to a 4x4 space just add another 260

@MidwestGuy @kellydans the 260 is 600mm. That is 23.6" tight for a 24x24.
Usually the 135 comes up as a recommendation in 2x2.
But now HLG has a baby diablo. My goodness

Thank guys, i was thinking about that new Diablo but seems to be new and not seen many reviews on it.
That’s a good point, @beardless not a lot of lights built to accommodate a 2x2 space.
True. 200w in that size light, I like it. Great for 2x4 2x6 Just keep adding lights.
@BobbyDigital HLG knows what it is doing

Yeah, that 200 Diablo really hits the sweet spot for new growers who want a good light for a single plant for not a whole lot of money.
Seems like HLG want to outdo this market against the newer Spider Farmer models.

@MidwestGuy so between spider farmer and hlg you still think hlg light would be a better choice?

Yes, HLG makes better lights and has far better customer service.
