HELP! I have a question about what grow light to get, it would me first

[Marcomposition]

I am thinking about buying this quantum board for my first indoor plant, for the full cycle, any suggestions? Anything better for that price?

HLG 100 V2 3000K

That would be fine for 1 plant. That is a good light.

Many people love HLG lights. I don’t have one but don’t think you’d be disappointed with it as long as (stated above) you’re growing 1 to 2 small plants. You have a 2x2 sq ft flowering footprint.

A fixture that uses Samsung lm301b or lm301h diodes will give you spot ppfd above 600 when you run them at 30 watts/ sq ft of canopy.
HLG offers many different fixtures and there are some reputable manufacturers from China that offer some good products.
I find that most of the girls I grow take about a 2x2 footprint, so plan on 120 watts/plant.
That also happens to be the most common output from each panel when you run a QB style fixture.

I'd suggest you look a little further. From the specs the HLG 100 V2 is a 2'x2' light and for another $20 you can get almost double the PAR output. I just bought the ViparSpectra xs1500 and am very satisfied. It draws 150w and has state of the art components. Amazon has a 30% code good till Christmas bringing the price down to ~ $130. Better value for the money I think.

**I just checked Amazon and they have increased the list price and decreased the discount code! Assholes!
