I have a pair of non bifocal reading sunglasses I use when I prune
I was thinking a pair of those giant sunglasses the REAL OLD people down here (fla) wear while driving cause it goes over their glasses. LOL
How does the Timber 3VL stand next to the HLG 320XL??? Price is very close, wattage seems simular.
I feel like the 320XL will have a slightly bigger footprint than the 3VL, you will be getting around 30w more of power. They will perform very similar though. Timbers fixtures are pretty kickass though, always did like the quality of them. Minimal and very straight forward.
I’m not sure the 320 isn’t TOO much in a 2x4x5 tent.
If it has a dimmer it wont be. And once u go into flower u cant have too much 
3vl is three vero 29’s on hlg 320 i believe. Boards will be more efficient in that range. So watt for watt more light with qb kit.
Look in our buyers guide for recommended lights. Here: https://ilgmforum.com/c/ilgm-official-sonsors-buters-guides/indoor-lighting-buyers-guide
Now I would recommend a 400 watt or 600 watt since you have ventilation and you can get the results you mentioned. Keep in mind that this Ipower 600 watt5 switchable digital ballast has 3 intensity levels 50% = 300w…75% = 450w,…and 100% = 600w, whcih is nice.
This sale page has the air cooled hood option, and 400w model, the 600 and 1000w models as well. You can choose

Ya I guess it’s gonna be qbs as I keep being nudged that direction. Is there a best time to buy? IE… sales around the holidays, cyber monday, senior citizen discounts, alms for the poor any way to get discounts??? Not cheep (well maybe) but just poor. LOL
From what I’ve seen, they dont really run too many deals off their light kits. They do on the HLG550 every now and then
Story of my life! LOL
Maybe you can look at MarsHydro, this brand has 10% discount for black friday: www.mars-hydro.com
This is old led light brand in market for 10 years and I have read lot of growing journals using this brand lights
There doesn’t seem to be a value with the burples, by the time you have put enough burples in there to equal the HLG lights the cost is either higher or same. Unless I’ve miss read the users on these lights (HLG and the like) there seems to be no comparison.
you can have too much. with my hlg 135 v2 3000k my growth tips got bleached from the light intensity
Bro you are pushing Marshydro pretty hard on all your comments… are you a representative for them? There is much better technology out currently and most people just end up upgrading anyways.
All but 1 out of all his posts are pushing Mars lights. So I’m gonna say either he is or he’s got buyer’s remorse and trying to validate his purchase.
Yea, it’s one thing to recommend a light. It’s another try and sell it.
is that behavior allowed here? didnt he have a point by point sales pitch?
