It's the 650R https://horticulturelightinggroup.ca/collections/lamps/products/hlg-650r

I was originally drawn to it for two reasons: first, it's built with Samsung diodes, and secondly, the so-called 'FarRed' factor. I seen another post on here asking if FarRed was dead, so is it something worth pursuing/getting excited over?

It's not a 'bar LED' either, because bar LED's exist, does that render the technology of this growlight sort of obsolete?

If you have owned several different growlights throughout the years, what would you honestly rate this growlight out of 10? (1 being lowest, 10 being highest)

Very respectable light but chilLed tech ultra series runs circles around it.

Because it's weak, or it seems weak. I have the Mars Hydro TSL2000. I don't have it at 100%, but close, it's at 75% and only one of my plants seems to be growing. I've been growing these things since the end of May and I barely have over a foot worth of plant to show for it. At this rate I'll honestly be lucky to get to harvest before the end of this year. It's hilarious hearing about people harvesting POUNDS in two months. I'll be lucky to get a few buds by January if these things don't start growing lol.

Best light on the market IMHO. No one comes close https://chilledgrowlights.com/our-products-services/pre-order-our-growcraft-ultra-series/growcraft-ultra-330-watt-diy-led-grow-light-kit?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8uOWBhDXARIsAOxKJ2FY8oXqQivZRexGlswMscLumtDiyhRQ45UH_xPQySAr-Dtv1uGxNHcaAhJpEALw_wcB

Bro its not your light lmao. I was growing small trees with LED floodlights from Walmart before I got legit lights.. Mars hydro is not a "cheap light" either. Sure it is compare to HLG but what isn't lmao, blackdog? My current veg tent is running 2 100w amazon bloomspect leds and they're growing like weeds. Your environment, medium, etc. is off if your plants aren't growing, I can promise you its not the light.

I wouldn’t be too worried about it. Since everyone is essentially copying each other’s designs they aren’t going to be doing anything drastically different resulting in a hazardous failure.

hlg is ul certified only in the prebuilt fixtures. If you buy the kit you won’t get the sticker

It just makes folks at ease about things and I know UL is a significant label, comprehensive testing. I will eventually not have to worry about it but until then, I have to present things in a way that makes it safe and not worrysome. They aren’t, I explained LEDs being next to anything else electronic in the place and it is usually electrical overload but, I bet UL tests things in a surge setting during storms that make anything a hazard and horticulture is not covered under any insurance, a suprisingly low covered subject. Everyone is at stake, sorry to blow any highs lol.

Lol It did not strike me that way, I thought gardening with cannabis was a more friendly culture unless you’re going in for the high score lol pun intended. Like a multi million or billion dollar cannabis investor looking to dominate the industry, but I guess I am just now seeing it that way haha states and their typical rivalry with everything, always fun to partake.
