If the board is only for the flowerroom then would I better buy the 2700K.

And 3500K to the veg-room?

And also, where to buy these boards in Europe?

Hi all,

I am new here. I am going QB and DIY for my first grow. My 4x4 tent just arrived and I have decided on using 2x HLG 260W (QB with Samsung LM301B diodes).

Question: They come in both 3k and 4k spectrum. I was thinking of getting one in each spectrum but not sure if this is best idea. Erik at LEDlightsdepot said 3k for yield and 4k for quality. My goal is quality more than quantity but ideally, of course, I would like to find the golden mean

Any thoughts, suggestions? All are most appreciated as I this is my first indoor cannabis grow after years of outdoors organic heirloom veg/herb growing!

Thanks,

3000k is great for flower and good for veg
4000k isn't great for flower but is for veg

Personally I'd go all 3000k to be great in flower

Horticultural lighting group is hlg
I did a Google search and found other places that sell their bds

Also China bds, same drivers and realllllllllllly cheap, may take a month delivery, but if ya got the time......

Hey could you @Chris Scorpio PM me that link to the cheap China bds.

Thanks very much Chris Scorpio.

I'm leaning that way. My only pause is that I have a new Mars Epistar Pro II 400W with plenty of red so I thought of getting one of each spectrum and using the Mars as supplemental red for flower.

But, I am barely a seedling now in terms of grow knowledge so happy to get more experienced advice/feedback, suggestions.

And btw, fine looking pooch you have there.

I agree with @Chris Scorpio
Go all 3000K
it's your best bang for the buck
