Hi @Raaneal! Well, if you want a combination, good spectrum+power+coverage, you should look for "QuantumBoards", these panels rely on Samsung mid power LED (lm561c or even better lm301b) which are the new big thing in the growing industry. These are probably the most effective grow lights onto the market nowadays. Growers with good coverage usually get more than 1g/w. The drivers are dimmable, so you can control your lamp efficiency (and your electricity bill). If you cannot afford the official QuantumBoard from HLG, you can try to go DIY, many companies are selling the same kind of SMD boards. If you're in the US or Canada, then HorticultureLightingGroup, CobKits, LedGrowLightDepot...If you're in EU, InvisibleSunled or TodoGrowLed. If you're in asia, go to the closest factory 😆 Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date, and happy growing 👊

Check out the Electric Sky 180 LED grow light. Just ordered one can't wait to try it out in my 3by3 tent! Check out The Green Sunshine Company on Instagram they produce some insane yields with their grow lights. They are on the higher end of your price range but worth the extra money, 3 year waratee and 50000 light hours! https://thegreensunshineco.com/product/electric-sky-es180-grow-light/

Hello ! Quantum boards are good for sure , beware of the Chinese knock off. The autocob like those you can see at cobshop are also working really great : good efficiency and low wattage and many spare parts can allow you to upgrade it. The QB will cover a better area and the cob will be more efficient in a specific area ( the cornes are less covered with cobs) I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼

Defoliation Hey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.
