Open challenge for lighting

if you have a successful HID grow going it is not worth throwing it away to go QB,
but… if that light ever goes out, u have the ‘extra money’, or want a lower electric bill… definitely upgrade to QB.!!

big hoods do throw out light better, but they can only do so much,
the big ass light bulb is in the center.! lol

Started with a light I built. CFL 960w at the wall. ALL WATTS ARE NOT THE SAME. Limited budget, so I went with MH/HPS because of price and the fact that they have been using them for years. I’m wanting to change my entire set up, when funds allow, to 3 tables for flower. Trying to decide if I want to go LED, or stay HPS

Yes sir, I understand it’s in the middle. I’m just thinking it will enable me to get them a lot closer than 24"-36", thus giving me better penetration.

if u r expanding and need more light, go with HLG Quantum Boards.!!

u r correct, air cooled, big hoods should get them closer.!
large juicy colas r in your future.!!!

If you go with the quantum boards, you won’t be disappointed. I’m currently running 640w from the wall to a 5x5 flower tent. Results are pretty awesome.
Next flower run I’m gonna add another 200w for a total of 840w from wall. I’m gonna be revamping the veg area a bit and figure screw it, let’s see what happens!

Thank you, @Thelaughingwolf

I insist that God grows weed in my basement (I’m just honored to be along for the ride). He’s pretty good at it, too. Go figure.

There are some pics of the garden bed here: No Till Thread

You’ll have to scroll a bit to get there.
