I dunno. Take a look at these Hyphotonflux lamps. No big name but there’s a lot there to like, including Samsung LM301B white diodes and OSRAM reds. If only they had onboard UV…..

I'm just a newbie at this indoor farmin' stuff, but I have had to learn a lot (fast) about lighting in my quest for the correct LED fixtures for my ~3x3 foot tent. I'm no expert and don't claim to be. BUT, I am happy to share with others just starting out a resource I found that will help in wading through the forest of misleading and sometimes almost fraudulent LED advertising out there. Take a peek. No charge.

I have 2 SF 1000s and 1 TS 1000.
Ive recently downloaded a ppfd app for my Samsung galaxy.
The app wants me to choose between high and low "cri" and color of the light.
I cant figure out what CRI to choose. I've attached a screenshot of the app.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes. I can get close on the color, but the high/low CRI has me stumped.

Most any light can grow the best weed. Hlg and gavita buds are no better quality than Chinese lights.
