If its a strictly veg tent I would calculate about 20w /sq ft. If your going to flower with it 30-35w /sq ft.

You probably want 2 of those to cover the whole 3x3 for veg only.

They are good quality lights.

Alright fellas its done. I officially went with the Scorpion Diablo. I wanted the pure fire and that light seems to be the highest performing. Cant wait to finish this run out in that tent gonna be sick. Got a handful of new strains started right now and they will all be finished up under the Scorpion Diablo gonna veg them in my small tents. Got XXX OG, Northern Lights, Don Carlos (Humboldt Seeds), Space Wrangler. Oh and last but definitely not least
I have Garlic Bud gifted to me by the man himself BurnzYzBudZz. Thanks again for that man hope we get a female this first go around! Pics to come as this saga continues I will be starting a grow thread on those plants they are still little babies in solo cups. Thanks everyone for all your advice and suggestions with the grow light! Peace ✌

Yeah I thought that it was the DFG dragons garlic but I wasn't 100% sure. I just remembered you saying it was garlic the sharpie label on the plastic container got rubbed off by my greasy ass fingers lol. Thanks for clarifying that they are looking super healthy seem to have a nice fat and broad leaf profile. Cant wait to sample these new flavors!

Although I’m sure those are good lights, I beg to differ. He made a great choice with the Diablo.

Congrats on your purchase. I'm sure you'll see great results.
I saw a lot of talk of of the HLG 550 and Scorpion. For anyone else still debating this choice and would like a slightly cheaper but arguably equally well illuminating light, I'd like to suggest the LEDTonic Q7:
www.ledtonic.com

Q7 LED Grow Light

LEDTonic Q7 LED Grow Light. A 320W full spectrum grow light designed for high-light plants like cannabis. The lamp is built with highly efficient Samsung LM301H diodes and Mean Well 320W driver. Its unique design makes it a suitable light for all types of grow spaces and tents; 2x4', 3x3', 4x4'...
www.ledtonic.com www.ledtonic.com

Comparing te HLG 550 PPFD chart with the Q7 shows us that they are very smilar. Yet the Q7 is $200 cheaper (currently on sale for $450). It also has a few cool features that the HLGs are missing.

Anyway, the Scorpio will definitely emit more light and if maximum light is the goal, the Scorpio is likely the best choice. For anyone looking for a less expensive light but still high average PPFD in a 4x4', the Q7 could be a good fit.

Hope this helps!

I have one and it works great in veg and early flower. 3x3 might be too big imo. I also have rspec and 3000k, mh and hps. mix and match as needed.
