Which light would be better for a 2x2x4 tent the HLG 100 v2 or Mars hydro 300w (135w actual)? My first grow I had two plants from bagseed and got a half oz from each under the Mars light, in ffof. I'd like to get 2 oz from one plant. Is that too far fetched for either of those lights?
I'm having heat issues with the Mars, along with low humidity.
How well does the hlg running at 96w (I think) compare to the Mars running at 135w?

Get the HLG, you won’t be disappointed. While it might be less watts, it has a better spectrum. I use both. The Mars lights are great for veg, but the HLG will make denser buds.

I should have said that the spectrum of the HLG is better for your flowering cycle, as it will make denser, heavier buds.

Do you use both lights throughout the entire grow? If so did you go with the 3000k or 4000k?
