Fellow growers, what's happening!

I'm wrapping up my indoor set up and looking to improve my veg light. I run these (see photos). A 300w ufo led and a 200w cob? Light. They do fairly well. Not complaining. However I'd like to consolidate and run one light in the veg tent.

This is a 3x3 vivosun tent and light coverage, heat (production - i need all i can get), and efficiency are all concerns for me.

I know I can throw in a 250 hps and call it a day, but I'd prefer to try to get more with the times and move to a serious new light. And from 2 to 1 light. Seems leds are getting better, so, what would you reccomend? Again this is a 3x3 veg tent. I plan to run 6 plants in it at a time.

From here, those 6 Goin into a scrog in my 4x8. Which is run by 2 magnum XXL low pro hoods with 1 1000w and 1 600w hortilux blue bulbs. I'm not considering changing these at the moment. Although I'd like to save on power ($$), these fuckers fucking dominate so I'd have to see something serious in person, although I've conscidered it.

Thanks so much guys. Happy growing!

There's so many lights out there, it's really personal preference... I like the bar style lights. Doesn't matter the brand really, as long as components are good. Most companies specs are pretty close, and they use the same components. That being said a 315cmh would kill in veg in a 3x3 as well. I'm always torn between using my fce8000 or my 315s which I love.

I traded in my OLD MH bulb and Magnetic ballast for a ChilLED X3 Full Spectrum on my Veg side last December, and couldn't be happier with it. Plants rocked under it, and in my case, it outperformed the MH by leaps and bounds. It also cut my electric costs for my Veg side 45%, it was worth it to me to swap old for new technologies.
