I run a timber grow light 4VS. With a growers choice 315w cmh in a 4x4 closet. I got about 1.25 lbs out of it.

What do you want to know then? I look at the PPFd map on your older light it has good central PPF, but goes weak on the edges: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-7q7...140/777/4VS_PAR_MAP__89784.1566581431.png?c=2

I’m currently flowering a Universal Kush plant under an HLG 550 V2 RSpec, 3x3 tent. Puts off a lot of heat for that space, I’d recommend running at least a 6” inline exhaust and 4” inline intake to get an effective heat exchange.

Keep it on low and high (32”-40” or so) above seedlings until the third node pops/ or the plant is stretching excessively, then lower to 24” and half power until around the 5th node. I personally top plants at the 4th node, so when the 5th node is up I’m more confident it’s healthy enough to handle stress. So I crank the light power to 75% and watch for signs of stress.

At any rate, it’s a fantastic light and overkill for my 3x3 grow space, but it scales down in intensity so no issues there. Best purchase I’ve made in quite a while.

I think I am going to buy a 550 Rspec . They are being liquidated because they are discontinued to make room for the 650 Rspec. I have seen them as low as 699.99

You won’t be disappointed.
