    Lighting options.

    So good news. Im upgrading my 3x3 gorilla to a new 5x5 gorilla grow tent! Pretty excited! But here's the deal. I have a Spectrum King SK402 with the 120° lens. It covers 4x4 in flower and 5x5 in veg. What would be a good option for extra lighting to fill in the light gaps? I was thinking of adding 2 Optic 1XL COBs. I dont want any kind of cheap throw away lights. Quality made, higher the par the better.
    thanks for looking folks! I appreciate you all.

    Lumatek attis 300w or the lumatek Zeus 600w

    im running the lumatek Attis 300w beside my vipar and it’s clearly much more quality. Bigger stem and plant grow than the vipar.
    So I’m tossing the Vipar and buying a second lumatek.
    Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.

      Thanks Capt.
      I've done a metric ass ton of reading today. I think I narrowed it down to 2 options.
      Option 1, 2 Optic 1 XL COBS 100w and add the 120° lenses to them.
      Option 2, 1 Optic Slim 320H Dimmable LED 320w
      They both have pros and cons. Decisions, decisions.... Thank thoughts folks? I'd love to hear your options here.

        After a bunch of reading I finally made a decision and ordered 2 Optic 1 XL COBs 100w with the added 120° lenses. That should give me the amount of light that I'm looking for.

            Told you I'd be back lol. I'm sure there's a easier way to leave and come back but obviously my ignorance is showing....

            I liked this article because it really compares lights separating the different groups low end middle and top of the line. Good luck brother picking lights is harder than growing itself.
