Best lighting option?

The BD has low efficiency compared to the HLG QB`s.
I ran 2 135 kits in a 2x4 and was seriously impressed with the fast growth.
135 will be perfect for your small space.

Surprised everyone has recommended the 135W with no mention of the 260W. Flower footprint is 3x3, but I err on the side of having a bit extra.

I have a 2x2.5 Gorilla as well, but with the height extension. I caught the 260W on sale last week, it’s replacing a Mars. Looking forward to getting it installed already.

That’s why I was curious on the black dog 200 and the hlg 160 vs the 135. I don’t want an overkill light that’s gonna cause me problems but something perfect with a little extra to help boost yields and quality. The BD caught my attention due to the full spectrum and their claim that it out performs a 400w hps etc. I don’t ever plan to extend this tent past the 5’11 height. When I move into a house I will just be going into a much bigger tent in general.

Essentially when I move into a house this 2x2.5x5’11 tent will become either a mother tent or a vegging tent.
