Hey people, specific topic for only veg stage what would you recommend?
2x2 tent with only seedling and veg stage plants


HLG 65 V2 4000K (65w)
or
Spider armer SF1000 (100w)
or
Spider Farmer SF600 (74W)
or
Mars Hydro TS-1000 (150w)

More wattage is better?

They all £60-115 so price suits me but whats the best for veg stage?
Help me out
 
I have a marshydro ts 2000,I think its 300 watts uses 3000k and 5000k & red&ir,my plants veggies better under this light than my 600 mh @6500k although switching to a 7200k seemed to help,but my ts 1000 didn't veg as well but as far as all around MarsHydro were great.Anyone know if 10000k bulbs have any place in veg?

From the choices you posted.....I would pick the hlg board. All of them will do fine for veg in 2x2, but I believe that hlg has a higher build quality( thicker mcpcb, top group/bin chips) =longer service life

Happy shopping

For some reason UK shop sells only
HLG 100 (3k)(top spectrum) and
HLG 65 (4k)(bottom spectrum) but no HLG 100 (4k) :wall: I still dont get this why they sell HLG 100 (3k) but not (4k). Let me know what would you pick spectrum obvious best HLG 100 (4k) as more blue better for veg but they dont have it in UK and delivery from USA for (4k) +£18 and import +£32 on top of asking price :shock: so better If I would buy lights from UK I recon but only HLG 100 (3k) and HLG 65 (4k) Im a bit afraid that 65(4k) might not be enough, what you think?
