I have a Viperspectra p1500 in my smaller 2x2 tent, and it kicks ass. They are on sale on Amazon for about $100 dollars, now.

Those have IR diodes mixed in yeah? You could probably comfortably bloom out a 3x3 with the 1500. I've heard good things about Vipar

Yikes. That’s so little. I like my lights bright lol. Mine right now pushes about 90k-100k lumens

Yes, it has the deep red and IR chips. I also have a P2000 in my 3x2. I just bought the new XS2000 for another 3x2. The XS series uses samsung diodes and meanwell driver, while the P series doesn't, but it's still an awesome light.

I might be wrong, that's just off the top of my head. Sounds crazy low in comparison to your 100k! I don't really know a whole lot about lumens. Still get PAR and LUX confused. So many numbers ah!

I had to Google it and this is the first thing that popped up. Fuck if I know...

Makes sense. Idk my par output, I just know for my 600w HPS 12-18 inches gives me dense growth with no light burn

Yeah, I wish I could crank my LED's without bleaching the shit out of my tops. It's a problem.

This was my last one that yielded 94g. I should have kept her in a week or 2 longer

I'm only in week 2 of Bloom rn, so not very interesting. But, only 8 plants per 4x8 with some pretty intense LST and I've got a nice even canopy. Could've waited a bit longer to flip but got impatient. My first time growing Key Lime Pie..and my last. Super temperamental girls. Back to cookies for me!

I'm using two in a 5x5 right now for flowering and they're doing really well. They're extremely bright.

Yeah, looks can be deceiving. You're going to need stronger lights if you want dense buds. They might look good but once you dry them they'll end up larfy. Trust me bro, I have similar LED's to the ones you're using. They aren't going to give you fat, dense buds.

I know that's the general rule, but I'm only using 650 watts of HLG boards now in my 3x8 closet. That's like 27w per sq. ft. and the buds are dense as fuck.

You can't really use the "watts per sq ft rule" with LED's. It's just not an accurate measurement. That being said, one LED light centered in an 8 foot long closet isn't going to give you the best results. LED's do have their downfalls. They don't do well at spreading light at all. The plants directly under the light are going to get 3 or 4x the amount of light that the plants on the far ends are going to get. You'll be able to tell once you dry the buds and see the difference in density between the plants in the center and the ones on the edges. Add another light bro, you'll yield A LOT more. Like, 30%-40% more. Again, wet buds are very deceiving. You think you have dense colas and when you dry them it's fluff. I'm glad the HLG is working for you though, keep on crushing it man!

Hahaha. I have 2 HLG 260 Rspec's, a 135 Rspec, and 2 HLG 100's in there. I've been using them for awhile now. I have 2 HLG 260 V1's in 3000k that I'm gonna put in place of the 100's, but I just haven't done it yet. I don't really need to, lol.
I just posted pics of one of my plants that I took last Thursday on another thread. This one's gonna get chopped this weekend. Mine don't really shrink at all when they get fat.
