Greetings everyone,
Pictured is my current grow, which is Wonka Bars (from bagseed). I switched to a 12/12 schedule on Friday, October 30th. Yesterday, I decided to defoliate some leaves in the center of the plant. The idea was to get more light to the new buds sites forming under the four main stems (see photo). I seem to have accomplished the goal of getting more light to those sites deeper in the central area. But, I forgot fan leaves should probably be reaping the benefits of the light in that area too. Because of what I did, I no longer have any "solar sails" to bask in the glow there. I know those fan leaves are never coming back, so I shifted my focus to the outermost areas of the plant that aren't getting as much light. My currently light blasts it's majority on the four main stems.
I considered trying supplemental lights, maybe on the sides. But, I could not find a light that would be easy to mount onto the grow tent poles or other areas (any suggestions there would be appreciated). I don't really have much more room up top to hang supplemental lights. The carbon filter, for example, takes up a lot of real estate there. So, I thought about the possibility of trying to replace my main light with one that covers a wider area.
My current light, TopoLite 300W
Here are the lights I am interested in:
MAXSISUN High Performance PB2000

MAXSISUN Dimmable MF2000

I was wondering if you guys might be able to check these prospects out, and let me know whether or not you think they are a good choice for this tent. If you have any other recommendations, I am very open to ideas. It is possible my current light is sufficient, but I'd like to improve my setup if possible. I am concerned about getting a new light that will be too bright. I would prefer to be able to keep my plants about 12" from the light during flower to allow for taller plants. Thanks for your time.
Tent Dimensions: 32 x 32 x 62 in / 81 x 81 x 157.5 cm
Current Plant Height: 22.5 in / 57 cm
Plant Height @ 12/12 flip: 13 in / 33 cm
