Yeah that is the one. I paid $650 USD shipped to Canada. During initial bullshit "covid outbreak", so it was slower freight and saved some money. Also, I got the LM301B (Same as the H's... but cost less.). Ask for a quote with the LM301B's and cheaper but slower shipping option.

Is it 3000k+ or 3500k+ I want? That light is about $90 less. Like $740 shipped...I'm gettin there...

I think 3000k+ is for just bloom and 3500 if you wanna veg too?

I got the 3500k + 660nm and use for vege and bloom.. but I also have some 3000k + 660nm similar fixtures from Meijiu (Majo's/Octopus).

I use both for both and can't see any difference in the end result. Maybe after a few more runs, but it's not apparent now.

Yeah man, it's a keeper for sure. Like they say... "measure twice, cut once."

You won't have to buy another light to upgrade in the future, and that light will do you up to a 5 x 5.

Your nugs will be so dense, you'll be watching for bud rot at the end of harvest everytime if you push late.

Heat is not an issue. You may find your tent too cold if in a basement actually.

With the dimmer you can basically hang it as close as you like, although with greater distance you get more even coverage and less shadow effect.

Still messing with distance. I have a par meter so I’m using 500ish par for vege and 875ish for flower.

@bk78 some numbers a while back as well that I initially used and they work great.

I’d have to check my lights later with the meter. Just got the meter actually. I’m hanging my lights higher and letting the plants grow up to them. Sick of adjusting light height so using par meter and dimmer to make adjustments.

Last run I never exceeded 600watts on the fixture.

That's so nice to hear! I am in a basement but its heated down there so no problems keeping it warm. Heat in the summer was the issue. I mean the AC solved it but my electric bill was $800 a month...lol Wife wont let that happen again.

I really feel like I got a good deal! I was gonna spend $600 on a Spider Farmer...I mean for an extra $50... thats a lot more light! Thanks again!

BTW i seen your Canadian...cool I'm in Detroit...pretty close...lol

I’ve recommended that light to a lot of guys. I get a lot of thanks for it. You are welcome. I’m just happy to share a cost effective Ferrari product for people.

Wait till you hang it in your 4 x 4. It’s tight in all the good ways.

Nice crop for sure! Nice even canopy and plenty of dense flower. That's what I'm talking about. Thank you for the input.

Max Ehrmann said:

Thank you for your response! Checked it all out...with the discount it would be $599 shipped. What kind of flowers will this light produce?

Glad you found something you like! The HLG is awesome! I had a ipower 1000w setup for years and the HLG puts out more light and way less heat. I flower in a 3.5 by 8 space and have the HLG and the Amazon Chinese version and they're bout the same. Was also gonna say I'm a lil jealous of the one you got but to be honest, if it has Samsung chips, its probably worth it. Good luck man!
