Hey Everyone!!! Currently my grow tent is 5' x 5' x 80" and I'm running two of the vipar spectra XS2000's. Now it's upgrade time as I'm building a 6' x 8' x 80" flower room. Is there leds out there that would be sufficient for a 5 x 5 space, but be expandable to accommodate the bigger space (once it's done). I'm looking for really high quality lights so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Current Flower tent Setup:
5- 5 gallon DWC buckets running White Widow x Big Bud.


I've been running this setup perpetually for about 2 years now and the only thing on my radar right now is this setup: https://nextlight.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=148

Appreciate the input! I'm saving ALL recommendations to a spread sheet so I can compare. Just one question, why would you buy that light when this light is cheaper and the specs look better to a novice like me (only been growing LED for 2 years/10 years w/600w HPS). I'm curious! :)

One thing I'd like to add is I'm trying to grow 6-8 (preferably 8) plants under the light. So with this being the case wouldn't I want something with a really high PPF?

I would be thinking about getting plenty of light. Brand regardless, my goal would be 250w per 2.5x2.5=6.25 Sq ft. So a 1000w to play with

This has been my findings so far as well! So far I'm leaning towards hotrod's recommendation. I still need to sleep it on for awhile, but that's where my brain is at right now.
