Trying to find a good light for my seed to veg

Indoor Growing Lighting

I have a Mars hydro ts 3000 that I just flipped to 12/12 light cycle I’m looking to purchase another light so I can start my second round of plants on 18/6. I will be using it mainly for veg cycle and completing them under my Mars hydro but I would also like something that I could finish my plants under if I run out of space. Was looking at HGL quantum boards.

HLG’s Bspec boards would be good for seedlings and veg. You won’t be able to flower with them though.

Thanks for the response, just put in my order for a b spec board. Also got a flower initiator for my flower room

You can also buy r spec board(s) and swap out the boards as needed. I have the HLG 260 and a HLG 135, both with b spec boards at the moment but I also have a few r spec boards around so I can swap the boards out and go from b spec (veg) to r spec (flowering) in a few minutes if needed.

Yeah that makes sense. I think you were the one I got the idea to buy the flower initiator from I think I seen you mentioned it so I had to give it a try!

Yep, bought and posted about the HLG flowering initiator bulb recently, you know you need a certain socket type (E26) for that bulb, this is the one I bought:

@Hellraiser have you gotten to use the light yet?

Not yet, too close to harvest in my flowering tent so will put it in use with the next group of girls when they start flowering in a couple weeks.
