Sweetspot88started grow question 5y ago

Could anyone recommend which budget led is best for bud quality. Looking at the sp250 by mars hydro or it’s alternative being the spider farmer sf2000 I am in 4x4 so I’d need 2 of each or the bigger equivalent. Thanks growers I’m planning on making the change soon as it’s summer

I would go with two (2) HLG-100’s for that space. Not sure why more people aren’t using these lights, they are top of the line

Leaves "praying" after lowering the lamp I am in week 4th of flowering Laughing Buddha, 220W LED ~60cm from tops. Today I have lowered the lamp and the leaves started "praying", on one (higher) plant the other, mostly-indica Holy Punch seems unaffected. I am curious, is there too much light or sweet spot and it's good?

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent. Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.
