Need help! Best grow light

[Steve502]

I’ve been looking at led lights, spydrx plus, optic 8, electric sky 300, rapid led cobs. Which light is best for the highest yield? I was leaning towards the ES300 but only 1 watt per led kinda sucks but any help would be nice.

Of those I know the spydrx is fantastic, guy here has one , very impressed

I use quantum boards which use the same Samsung diods

Thanks for the reply, I was actually leaning towards the spydrx plus but I heard you have to use co2.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Why would you need co2 with a specific light

 

[Steve502]

Or maybe the prefect sun max yield led? Ugh so many choices.

That’s what I read on the spydrx website. They say they recommend 800-1200 PPM of CO2 because of the high PPFD levels.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

No need for more co2

First off why but the most expensive lights. Is this your first grow. How will you be growing soil or hydro. How many plants. Are you going to grow what is the size of your room. Are you growing auto flowers or photo cell these are the questions to ask befor asking about a light.

4x4 grow tent, coco/perlite, photo, and number of plants just depends anywhere between 4-16. And no not my first rodeo, I’ve been using hid but tired of electric bill being so high etc.

 

[Steve502]

I just want a high yielding light, excellent quality of bud too.

 

[Stunned]

whats your budget?

 

[Icemann420]

Quantum board 550

 

[Steve502]

No budget

Quantum board 550

have to agree with @Icemann420
granted, I'm biased, but only because I'v seen the results firsthand
it doesn't necessarily have to be the 550 model
But I do recommend HLG Quantums of some variety

 

[Icemann420]

THe 550 is a 1000w replacement. I’m running a 320 and it’s an amazing light. But the Pure sun Goliath or the goliath dwarf star would also be a nice choice. But those are super expensive. But if you was to put two 320 qb in there it would be equivalent And the money would be lesser.

 

[Steve502]

I’m so used to hid that when it comes to QB and stuff

what spectrum would you recommend? I’ve always done 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower but with led and all that would it be good to go that route with spectrum or full spectrum?

What spectrum do you use?

 

[Stunned]

3000K is good for all round
3500 or 4000K for veg and 2700K for flower

 

[Steve502]

Man so many choices lol. You have any pics of plants under them? I’m gonna look through your profile and see if I can find some.
