Hello! i have recently setup a 4x4 veg tent with Spectrum Kings Mother Little helper (meant strictly for veg)
and i am in the process of setting up my 4x4 flower tent but i need advice on what light is best for strictly flower!
I have narrowed it down to the:
black dog 400

HLG is the way to go, don’t even think about those others, they don’t come close.

Hey good to know I'm glad I asked because I dont have much knowledge on led lights! So to narrow it down the HLG or 2x 340 watt or 1x 640 watt light... what would be the best choice for densest thc covered results! (Thanks to the help!)

I second the Timber recommendation....using a 3000 spectrum.

One of these at 640 watts (from the wall) would be awesome in that space.

Redwood VS

This 650 watt COB LED grow light features Bridgelux Vero29 COBs and dual Meanwell drivers. Remote driver placement helps with managing heat and custom color temperatures are available. Designed to cover a 4 x 4 coverage area with high PPFD for full cycle/flowering.

Or two of these. (I’m buying 3 of these to r replace a 1000 watt)

Model 3VL

This three (3) COB LED light fixture features Bridgelux Vero29 COBs and a Meanwell driver. Remote driver placement helps with managing heat and custom color temperatures are available. Designed and engineered to cover a 2 x 4 coverage area for full cycle/flowering.

In all of my LED research when I was buying, that brand never came up. I don’t know anything about them.

Mr.Growit a popular youtuber did a video on the best LED lights of 2019 and it was one of them, i like how they noted it was specifically targeted towards the flower stage . I dont understand the whole LED thing too much but something to do with the red lights and green or yellow, specific colors are good for flowering... and on a review video by the company they noted they put the proper colored lights for the flower stage... I'm going to order my flower light here soon just trying to get advice on something to be used just for 12/12 light that i wont have buyers remorse

I’m no expert here, but I think the 3,000 spectrum on the Timber is better for flowering than 4,000 on the other. More reds.

Dig around the LED forum....there’s a lot to read.

You gotta stop reading g what these companies are stating about themselves. hLG or timber. Choose one. Lol. hLG will give you a bit more hanging height.

I just pulled the trigger on three Timbers, so I’m biased. Pulls more watts at the wall. More power.....more flower.
