QB: Samsung LM301b V2 3000K

[Cholerakk]

Hello guys,

I am thinking about upgrading from my HPS 600W light to Samsung LM301b V2 QB lights (3x120W). Is this light good for growth and flower cycle? Or do I need to modify it in any way? Like, add some LED light with grow light spectrum, etc...? I really new in growing weed. So I am a little bit lost in this kind of stuff. I will appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Which brand of light is this? Do you have a spectrogram for it?

I'd go for it, I love my QB lights and you can't beat the LM301 diodes! Won't need anything added to it for nice frosty nugs!

Well it’s 3000k, so to me that’s more geared towards flower. For veg and flower under 1 light you’d be better off with 3500K. It’ll work though.

I both veg and flower under a 3000k series 3+ 500w from Budget LED. I don't see any difference vegging with it versus my 4000k veg light in my smaller tent, I'd rather have a better flowering light anyway just my .02

6500K for veg, 2700k for bloom, but 3000-3500K is a good compromise for both. I am running a Budget 480w 3000k Red Spec and 2 100w 4500k bars. All are Samsung and Meanwell and adjustable. I start my 4'X4' scrog with 200w of 4500K and ,100W of the 3000K. I dial these in with the growing cycle until in final bloom, I am running 480w 3000K and about 30 w of 4500K. Just started with leds, so can't really comment on how effective it is.

Nice! So I will definitely go for them! I really appreciate all the help. Thank you a lot.

I'd say the biggest choice is between a Quantum Board vs a Strip Light.
I chose strip light for the more even coverage and cooler running temp.

Mine I think are 4000k white LM301B with 660 photored diodes

Sadly strips are not available in my country and I do not want them to purchase from eBay/etc because of warranty.

Or a combo of different Kelvin temps. Since they are adjustable, it's kinda like dial-a-season.
