Hey guys, I'm growing LA Confidential in a 5x5 in coco coir/perlite, starting out in Jiffy pellets. I have the HLG 650r LED light: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/hlg-650r Keep in mind I don't plan on getting a second light for seedlings, at least for my first grow. I will only be...

Currently have no light at all. I'm now looking at the HLG 650r that @Renfro suggested.

Thanks! Would you recommend the 120V or 240v?

Stop it @Renfro. Don't tempt me like that.:wall:

Setup: 5x5 Grow tent AC Infinity 6" w/ carbon filter 1000w HPS MH Setup Coco coir w/ perlite GH Flora Trio 4 plants etc Hey guys, I stopped by a few hydroponic stores today, planning on purchasing an AC/DE Sunsystem Hood and the necessary ballasts and bulbs. I expected a $300 hood, $150...

Thanks for the reply. Do you believe a 500w MH is ok for seedlings?

Thanks for the reply. Is a 500w MH light ok for seedlings?

Hey guys, I'm wondering how to care for my seedling with the equipment I already have; 5x5 tent, 1000w HPS/MH dimmable to 500, 750, 1000. I will be growing in fabric pots with coco/perlite mix. After germinating seeds and planting in Jiffy Pellets, how could I set them up in my tent? I assume I...

I will be air-cooling my 1000w with an exhaust to outside, maintaining room the tent is in at 65F. And passive intake. Think it'll work?

Alright with these new recommendations, I plan to switch out my VIVOSUN 1000w HPS/MH for this set up: iPower 1000w electronic ballast iPower 1000w hps bulb iPower 1000w mh bulb Sun system reflector 6” air cooled reflector which ends being 50 bucks more, but its doable. Will this work? I'm not...

I did a little further digging and if what you mean by efficient you were referring to other types of light such CMH and LED, then would you suggest a CMH system? It's a lot more upfront cost then I was planning(and am willing). But lets say I was willing, what wattage for a CMH would be...

I see in your setup you run with SunSystem lights. The 1000w is more than double the cost of the 1000w VIVOSUN I plan on using. What are the advantages of using the SunSystem setup? Is it worth the extra 200?

Is there any tower fan you might suggest for my setup?

So far out of the four people who have responded to my two identical posts over two sites, two have agreed with my setup, one thought it was iffy, and the other was worried only about inner fans, but you're the only one to back it up with facts. Bulla mentioned problems with intake, do you think...

Efficient in what way do you mean? And yeah to be honest, when it came down to researching for oscillating fans I did not dig as deep. You're the first person in all the places I've looked to mention using a tower fan, and I never even thought of that. Thanks.
