I have an FCE 6500 and am going to buy a similar size light for my second flower tent and I found a fairly new resale Thinkgrow model w which is 630w for 450, a one grow used fc 8000 for 700(800w), or a fresh fce 6500(730w) for around 520ish. Quality of light and yield potential is my priority, price is secondary.
I'm running a tsw2000 in my veg tent and it seems to me that it's a very harsh light. I don't have it dimmable so I have to have it at least 36inch above canopy. The FCE 6500 is better but I still feel like it is harsh and needs at least 12-14 inches(I'm also running CO2).
My thought process is that even though the Thinkgrow is less wattage, it would be a better lignt overall and wouldnt be that dissimilar.
Any advice would be appreciated thank you!
