Which light should I buy?


So I’m using a 75w Shenngsite Grow Light for the first 2 weeks to help it get through the germination stage because I needed to start the grow asap and didn’t have the money at the time. I’m doing a 2x2 tent grow and my budget is around $150-160. Which of these options would be the best or other lights at my budget?
Maxisisun PB2000
Mars Hydro SP1000
Spider Farmer SF1000

HLG 135w v2 rspec. runs about 200.00

Consistent with your budget, I know the current Mars TS1000 is a great fit for a 2x2 with 150w and Samsung 301b LEDs

Which model?

I got an email saying it was shipped couple minutes ago. Like 20 minutes after paying them. Couldn’t tell ya how long it’s gonna take to get here though.

Would you use that same light in the gorilla 2x2.5? Cause it’s in the mail.

you might need a little bigger, the flowering footprint for that light is 2x2 I believe

You could use it in 2x2.5, though I would be tempted to go a little bigger (HLG 260) if you plan on flowering in that tent.

It’s a tad bit shy for 5sq feet, but it’ll be fine.

To be honest with you that .5 you’re probably going to lose that with a good negative pressure on the tent with the side sucked in. If the light is sitting there and you already got it I would go for it. Just my thoughts good luck.

Idk if it’s cause I have an intake fan or what, but I’ve never had the tent suck in, I hear everyone else talk about it though

HLG 135 RSpec kit.

Discount code “dude” gets it down to $180. Worth it.

I use HLG and just harvested 7.5 ounces off two plants. My first grow

Ok so I just copped the HLG 135 Rspec. What should be the height adjustment for my 2 week old seedling, Veg and so on? Also should I dim the voltage at 50% or max it out?

For 2 week old seedlings, I’d do 18 inches and about 50% power. May need a killawatt or similar monitor to really know what power you have it set to.
