Reddit reviews HLG 100 V2 4000K Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board LED Grow Light Veg & Bloom | Version 2 High-Efficiency Upgraded Samsung LM301B LED's

Have you thought about getting a 2x2 tent? Running with a HLG 100 it should be very manageable and around 250-300 for the setup, mostly from amazon.

You could probably squeeze 2 plants in there although 1 would be more comfortable.

Fabric pots would help with root circling/small pots.

One thing to keep in mind is that smaller pots will need watering more often.

Topping, LST and scrogging would help keep the plant short.

You want the best?

Only 8.5k lumens for 114w. (The main chip is the cree cxa3070, the epistar leds are just gimicky "full spectrum" crap) An HLG 100 would be a way better choice. 16k lumens at 96 watts with a good spread.

Hey, I'm not OP, but thanks for the link I haven't seen these lights before.

Would you or anyone have input on an alternative cob light meant for plants that has similar properties and a substantially lower price? I have been thinking about getting a set of these for my photos. $450 for 3 vs $700 for 3. No mount for a tripod or stand, but I was thinking about using the 4 corner holes to attach some small bars or cable-wire for 4-way adjustment.

This isn't bad. The price is pretty reasonable, and it will do fairly well in a smaller area.

two of these combos or however you want to do it.

Also, you could look into DIY LED lights to save some cost. Ledgardener.com has good info.

A 200W metal halide equivalent Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board might be worth a look.

No, I would buy from the manufacturer I am not sure which one is the same as this one Amazons on their site here. I was planning on getting the HLG100, but I cant find it on their website.


As for the foluxsolutions - this one would be great for one plant?

Do yourself a favor and stick with quality QB! The HLGs are fucking amazing. for a 2x2 their 100w board is perfect for flower, and only $150. You can get them in 3000k or 4000k. I have a 550 covering my 4x4 and 3 of the HLG65s covering two smaller tents (2x3 and 2x2)

If you have 200$ to spend, get a quantum board. It will outperform blurple light

https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-USA-Quantum/dp/B07C57J7XX/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=hlg+qb&qid=1556636878&s=gateway&sr=8-2

I see your point. I like the option but here is a question..

Say I buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-USA-Quantum/dp/B07C57J7XX

Like you are saying its $150. and its supposed to be as effective as a 300w cfl.

It consumes the same amount of energy as say this: https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA-Reflector-Spectrum-Indoor-Plants/dp/B01B4GQ6MO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Viparspectra&qid=1555016528&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-3

Which is also supposed to be as effective as a 300w lamp...

Whats the reason behind spending double if I am not gaining anything on performance or efficiency? The one advantage I see is no pink light.

I've been using 2 of these the 4k version https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-USA-Quantum/dp/B07C57J7XX for the last 8 weeks and I've never had buds this dense before. If I was you I would just buy one of these for a 2x2.

I would recommend [something with HLG made drivers]((HLG 100 V2 4000K Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board LED Grow Light Veg & Bloom | Version 2 High-Efficiency Upgraded LM301B LED's- Includes Radix 100ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C57J7XX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_baBRDbSYK0QPF)) for quantum boards. To be specific also, if you are looking in the realm of quantum boards, beware ripoffs. The boards need to be made with Samsung LM301 series diodes. These are the new super high efficacy diodes that you want.

That light is garbage, do not buy it. If you need a cheap grow light get a Viparspectra 300 or 600. They are reliable lights that last a long time. However, your money will be better spent on a high quality light, quantum boards are currently the best commercially available to home growers: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/hlg-100

That’s a great price on an all in one light that will last basically forever. There are others manufacturing these types of boards for lower cost but you would have to do some research and building. The HLG kits can be purchased on Amazon HLG 100 V2 4000K Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board LED Grow Light Veg & Bloom | Version 2 High-Efficiency Upgraded LM301B LED's- Includes Radix 100ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C57J7XX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_39Q2DbP5CP9SD

https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-USA-Quantum/dp/B07C57J7XX?ref_=ast_sto_dp

would do you well in that space. It's just at the upper end of your price limit. ($150)

Super simple to put together

i am considering these

my tent is 2x4 and 5ft high. The first one is probably too small? Would the second suffice?

Alibaba for sure.

If you're stuck on not ordering from alibaba, spend more and get an HLG 100 off Amazon for 149, or just get unstuck and order from alibaba.

https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-USA-Quantum/dp/B07C57J7XX/ref=asc_df_B07C57J7XX/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241883109355&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8474130366492575844&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1016441&hvtargid=pla-443916306627&psc=1

That's 25 bucks more for a way better light than that roleadro trash. Don't get lost in the wattage numbers. Blurple watts are bullshit.

Spend the price of a few joints extra and get a better light (HLG)

take a breath, focus, and do some homework. It will be worth it. I'm not making a direct suggestion here, but just by browsing the suggested manufacturers from the link I provided above, i found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-USA-Quantum/dp/B07C57J7XX

2 of those are cheaper than the garbage you're looking at, and about a billion times better. I know I'm telling you to put in some work, but your buds will thank you. You're only gonna buy lights once, so take the time to get the right ones.
