Probably gonna end up dimming them some, but you will have a great spread.Would 3 hlg 600w light be enough light over a 4x8 table to utilize co2 enrichment?
@Renfro hey Man U seem to know a bit so I began building ground up a room. I choose HLG above all and I wanted to inquire how to install them to a troll master I’ve ordered them already and I’d just like to have them controlled as well to dim and on/off I have 12 total help needed ASAP if u would like pics on build I can share as wellProbably gonna end up dimming them some, but you will have a great spread.

In that dept there is def more than enough lighting for real I’m not mad though but u could tak one of those light out and use that in a 4x4 space and get more for your buck!!!imoand here i thought 2 HLG 550 v2s was overkill for a 4x8 veg tray. my man here has 3 over a 4x8 tray
Wouldn't 2 DE HPS be way better in this situation?In that dept there is def more than enough lighting for real I’m not mad though but u could tak one of those light out and use that in a 4x4 space and get more for your buck!!!imo
NoWouldn't 2 DE HPS be way better in this situation?
Pretty sure the HPS would slay the 3 QB's. The 600's run super hot.
Well yea it would be honest my but if we are being technical I’d have at least 65w per sq ft just saying and 35-40 led! ImoWouldn't 2 DE HPS be way better in this situation?
Great info...so roughly 21w per sqft is good enough? I've got 2 hlg600's (620w) over a 5x10 that I'm building and I've been learning that's still not enough & 35-40+ w/sqft is a recommended for LED's.Those Qb600s will run a lot cooler than two DE 600 HPS. I run two 550s over a 9x5 w/Co2 and it is more than sufficient. I’d run that third one in a separate tent or room. For over a decade I swore by my Ushio 600 HPS. Great end product with out the heating issues of a 1000 HPS. With these HLG550s there is far lesser heat than a 600HPS yet I get more umols per square foot as I can keep them 24 inches from the canopy.
I think that these recommendations for w/sq ft have quite some leeway. So many other little factors that are not obvious can affect different growers outcome. Sometimes feel that some people are throwing extra watts into a flower setup, to compensate for shortfall in other aspects of grow. Be it veg staging growth, or nutrition and environment.Great info...so roughly 21w per sqft is good enough?

Agree...that's like 58w per sqftand here i thought 2 HLG 550 v2s was overkill for a 4x8 veg tray. my man here has 3 over a 4x8 tray
