That’s definitely a valid concern for sure.
Well I won’t have any guilty conscience on my part
Which LED for my 4x4?

Question:
Until the 600 comes in (eta Saturday) I have some led grow lights (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZJKL5F7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title)
in place about 6 inch from top of fabric pots.
My autos popped about 1 day ago (not yet sprouted)
Will they be ok under these Lights till then?
Or since they are autos should I leave them on the heat mat (which is sitting under the same type of lights in tent) until it arrives

I would say that you are good
that is a 600 philzon as always thank you for your time and the best of luck

I dunno if that's dimmable, but my Yehsense 1000 blurples recommend a 42 in distance in the seedling stage. I tried some at 32in and the light fried the little ones even with high RH. 42in was actually the sweet spot as advertised.

Half power and you would be right but I need the heat from the light will move it back were it should be in a few days as always thank you for your time @Deleena24
So I'd need 2 of those to flower in the corners of even a 4x4... I appreciate the help, but it doesn't fit my needs and there are much less expensive options for that coverage.
Id rather drop 1100 on a top of the line G8 (won multiple awards as best LED and provides extremely even coverage in a 5x5, like over 1000 PPFD in the corners at 18 in) and save 300 bucks.
I went ahead and ordered 4 QB96 kits, too. 260$ plus the cost of drivers is less than 500$ total and they can be configured any way.
I actually ordered 4 of the QB96, but I want to run them at 220 watts. Can you recommend drivers? I'd either like 2 drivers running 2 lights at 220 watts each, or all four on a single driver with each one at at least 220 watts.
Also, are the aftermarket reflectors for the QB96 worth the 12$ each? Do they actually make a difference?

Im rocking that 320 kingbright
No, absolutely not. One is really good. I was high and thought you had a 6x6

Please don't compare Kingbrite to HLG. Kingbrite is a cheaper knockoff option.
He made a great choice with the 96's.

Got screwed with the spider farm should have gotten a kingbright same thing just cheaper and more powerful. I was looking at that one. I xan buy two of mine for $30 less than yours. That would make it 640w compared to only 400w

If you know more I will take your word for it. All im saying is for the price its a great light. I recomend it fully for any new grower. It should have been my first light.

I'm happy to spend the extra money on top tier lights. It's an investment.
At 69$ each, and US based customer service with an amazing warranty, I'd have to disagree.
How can it flower a 4x4 if the coverage is only 2.5ft wide?

I wouldnt consider the kingbright garbage by any means. It really just depends on how much you want to spend. I personally am a kingbright lover

Till Saturday, absolutely. A non sprouted seed needs very little light. Even if you get a little stretch it is a non issue, up pot them a little deeper. If you are buying the HLG 600 you are in the same boat as me, I just bought one to swap out my 1000w HPS/MH system. Good choice, sticker shock can be a bit of a set back but hey, I wanted to give my girls the best I could. Treat them well and they will treat you well. Congrats on your choice, you have made a solid investment.
Edit, on a separate note any company that would advertise a 168W of lights as a 1000 watt replacement should be lined up and individually kicked in the nuts.

I get where you are coming from, I have heard great things from Kingbrite. I would recommend a corvette if someone wanted to go that way but the extra spent on a Ferrari can be noticed.
