Wow a potential 40% more seems worth it to me Forsure. Appreciate the input! Looking forward to this project and what it will bring this fall/winter.I guess that would depend on the price of weed. 5 x 5 is 50% bigger than a 4 x 4. The 650 would be 26w/sf compared to 30w/sqft with the 480. Taking that into account, I think you'll get 40% more out of the bigger tent. I always figure 1oz/sqft is a success and 2oz/sqft is a home run.
Do not buy this lightgo for a mammoth lighting 10bar or new folding 8 bar, 800w and rocks 5x5
You’ve always seemed pretty knowledgeable I don’t plan to but what’s your take on it? What light would you recommend for a 5x5? Pic below of my 240 watt led bar build I’m working on for my 2x2 and it’s already wall to wall in there and this light is gonna be finishing that tent.Do not buy this light
Gavita 1700E, Fluence Spyder 2I, or HLG Diablo. All three are great lights. Easiest for you would probably be the Fluence. If you hunt around you should be able to find for under 1K. The Gavita's are also great a couple hundred more but you will want to buy the E series adaptor with those. The best one of all is the Diablo as far as output. Spread might be better with the fluence or gavita because of bar style but to be honest all three are great lights.You’ve always seemed pretty knowledgeable I don’t plan to but what’s your take on it?

Bang on... you can get refurbished HLGs also. Saves a few hundred that's what I did for my scorpion diablo ir even the Scorpion is a decent light. Strip lights are a bit better for spread depending on the height limitationsGavita 1700E, Fluence Spyder 2I, or HLG Diablo. All three are great lights. Easiest for you would probably be the Fluence.

AM I am in the process of getting a quantum sensor so I will have real numbers for the Fluence and Gavita stuff in the coming weeks. I was told that the Gavita's perform better than advertised but I want to see it for myself. So we shall see.Bang on... you can get refurbished HLGs also.

I hear that also but also heard that when used with a controller the wattage is reduced. Not sure if that was fixed?
why not?Do not buy this light
That is true. I am going to check that as well.I hear that also but also heard that when used with a controller the wattage is reduced. Not sure if that was fixed?
OK so here we go again. The LED lights for Idiots thread. Mammoth is a knock off company, one of the ding dongs at the local hydro store talked the owner into stocking them. They are no longer selling them. Why? They failed and the quality it not as advertised. Yes they make all kinds of claims and maybe their new 8 bar folding light is a better knock off of the Fluence Spyder 2I than the last go around. It is the same cost or more than the Fluence Spyder 2I for me to purchase. I just went on their website and I think it was the Future Proof light. They show a picture of the light and a sphere testing devise around it. So here is my rub, if you are going to show the light in the sphere for testing, why would you not publish the data from the company doing the sphere test. Take a look at HLG, they have an independent company do their sphere testing and freely publish the results on their website.why not?
I’ve been thinking about this bc yes it is a vacant house but I will be living between both houses. The reason I wanted maybe to pop a tent inside a bedroom is to have the reflective walls which will give me higher ppfd on the outsides compared to an open area with panda film covering just a corner. I plan on staying close to plant count which is 5 or I would’ve just converted a whole bedroom and put multiple big bar fixtures. I plan to just take clones off whatever strains I’m running at my main house to run over in the 5x5 or open room. It’s a 5 bedroom ranch style home with a basement as well.If you have a vacant house and this is for profit I would suggest not worrying about the tent and panda film a room, just use a carbon filter to scrub the air of that sweet stink.
