New to 20X30 grow room. Need advise.

[Stephenj37826]

@Stephenj37826 can you confirm if the hlg 550 v2 is a UL listed fixture? Called up the local grow store and they said they were, but I'm trying to do my due diligence.

They aren't currently. They have passed UL 1598 testing. Just waiting on site inspection and we are good. 2-3 weeks I believe. Maybe sooner.

Does it mean that after testing the already shipped v2's will be ul listed or only current production?

Only future productions as certain tests are required and documented.

Im late to the show, but looks like you got your light choice made.

I was going to suggest the Black Dog LEDs

I do consulting and have had multiple commercials, and we test tons of equipment. my best yeilds on an LED came from the BDL PhytoMAX series. You can check me out on Instagram @ TckCliff to see what im talking about.
But last test room pulled 21 off of 3 4x8 trays and only 24 plants.

Sweet!... Nice clean grow! I thought about the BD's, but my budget was not quite there for this size of a grow. Do you use grow bags or pots?

I use 7 gallon hard pots, i was using fabrics but went back to hards, just a personal preference. I like the sturdiness

UPDATE.. The 20x30 has begun. I chose a 2 ton Carrier mini split with 4 variable speed exhaust ducts (6 inch), and one 8 inch intake. Once everything gets bigger, I'll have to monitor RH to see when a dehumidifier is up to bat. I have a 48 inch air curtain at the door... This state has a lot of shit floating in the air.

Good Luck on your grow, can't wait to see how it turns out. I think I'm about to place an order on the 550 V2s as well, can't decide between those and Timbers

Thanks! I will say that the HLG 550 V2's have an impressive build quality to them. I was highly satisfied.

Give the guys at BDL a call, they have a 90 day money back guarantee and they may be alittle more money, but the results speak for themselves.

 

[DoubleAtotheRON]

Got everything up and running!.. The HLG's are impressive! Everything is holding at 78-81 degrees and 49-55 RH.

Do you have a PAR meter and a FLIR by chance? If not I highly suggest getting a PAR meter to know your light levels and to see what your PPFD is.

a FLIR will help show leaf surface temps and spot checking your room to dial in perfectly.

Awesome!... I've looked at some PAR meters, you have one in mind that works good for you?

The quantum PAR meter from Hydro Farm is the best value and quality. shoot me a DM and i will get one quoted for you if you want from my store.
