Good led for flowering light

[iGrow420710]

dont do that, dude. what's your budget?

Funny, a 12 pack of 2700k CFL bulbs should do great....$30

I don’t have a budget as I am looking to find the best light which has the appropriate spectrum and allows me to grow dense bud with lots and lots of frost which high quality.

I am able to attain the funds as needed. Just need to find a UK source to maintain warranty.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about HLG. Icant tell the difference between the 550 and the 600. I’m not to great with dog electricals so would need a some already made. How would I go about this

What about the 600? I don’t get the difference? I need to find a way to source this in UK. If I can’t get this what’s the next best thing

The 600 is a smaller heatsink so more of a hotspot in the middle I have to run mine as high in the tent as possible the 550 should be able to run closer to the canopy.

So the 550 is the best? Or better?

There isnt really a better just depends how you grow. In the 600 tent I top all the plants in the middle so they stay short an the sides grow taller. In the other tent I have the boards spread out so I have an even canopy.

I was going to experiment with growing, let them grow natural, may top them may do a scrog etc

In that case 2 300w lights would be your best bet

[iGrow420710]

Ahh so your saying to get 2x 300 hgl as opposed to 1x 550 hgl

If I am unable to get the hgl in UK what would my next best alternative be?

I'm not familiar with all the options in the UK, but even the somewhat overpriced Optic 8 you were looking at earlier would be far, far, FAR better than two p600s.

I’m not going to rush around but I have been reading a plaTinum thread on RIU and it has put me off plaTinum but more into looking at advanced led diamond series, migro 600, back to the optic led and hlg

Platinum, Advanced, Kind, Viparspectra, Roleadro, Mars Hydro, Black Dog... They're all a waste of your money, man. Most of the people here will tell you the same thing, and not because we're snobs, but because we don't want to see a fellow grower get ripped off.

Ok From the reviews and videos and test on YouTube they seem good. It’s so misleading.

What list would you say is good? I’ve come to understand qUantum boards are the best?

In short: yes
