I’ve bought a 150 hps through them before that has stood the test of time. I don’t understand all the numbers and acronyms and actual wattage a d all that. What should I be looking for that would cover a 4x4. Do they have a light that covers blue and red spectrum?

I'm probably/definitely not the most educated on this subject, but I'd cover my whole grow with qb132's. 16 of them. With a 240 driver on each set of 4. I wish I had gone this route. I use a hlg 260, 4 qb132's and a hlg 135 in my 4x4. My plants are pretty happy.. Others will probably have better suggestions though. I'm still very new to leds

If you know HPS growing and not planning on growing multiple grows I'd just pick up a used switchable ballest, MH/HPS growing has been the bread and butter for years. Now that some growers are branching out to different ways of growing they can be found much cheaper used or even new. If space or stealth is a must then consider a kit from HLG. Feel good knowing that the coin you spent will see you threw many many future grows.

I’ve been doing mh and hps. Space is kind of an issue. My hps is too big length wise, I’d like something that will give me more space while having a 20 gallon in the tent

Guess it all depends on if you have a budget or not. I'm sure there are plenty of options out there for you.
There are plenty of options I’m just not sure what’s the best for me. I’d say 400-500 is my target. There are options in HLG well below that. I prob won’t need to pay that much but I will for the best option

... if yo plan on using CO2 look at the 2i as well
Look at the 8 bar for a 4x4

How would this scenario work out? A veg tent w a 400 watt MH and a flowering tent with a top of the line flowering specific LED?
