Hello.

I am no expert. But I will give you my opinion.

Your current light is only blue/red leds. So you could arguably benefit from getting some full spectrum in there.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W4SQWJ3

Has good strength for upfront cost. But I don't like lenses on LEDs because of the narrower focus of light, the potential for heat issues or heaven forbid fires.

Similar to above but without the focusing lens feature I would avoid. But the amount of power you get for the cost while still only being blue/pruple does not show good value to me.

These two are similar enough. You get 50% more power (150w vs 100w) at the cost of inferior P1500 diodes vs the more efficient Samsung LM301B diodes.

If you can afford it, I would go all spider farmer. But you may need a SF-2000 or SF-3000 to achieve the same strength as the blurples, which could price it out.

If at the end of my rant you conclude you want the quality of the SF but at the price of the blurples. Maybe you come to the conclusion some of us do and go with waiting a month for a Chinese knock off to get shipped here. I know you said this was something you need now though.

See this thread for more info on that.

Chinese LED grow light

i've had nothing but Chinese lights and I see all these ridiculous posts that say you get what you pay for but I've had nothing but outstanding success with lights from China! What these packs don't understand is, they're exactly the same thing you buy here in the states, the LEDs, the chips...

I have had a good experience with King Plus 1500. 260w wall draw. veg/bloom switch. Sorta full-spectrum with more than just red and blue diodes. 150$ USD shipping incl. (not affiliated)

Thanks for your advise it is much appreciated and needed. I was leaning towards the vipaspectra 2020 but i was worried about the heat created in the tent since its a 4x2. What do you think, can in just add a 2nd little circulating fan?

I just wish sometimes when I read thru 100+ questions on Amazon somebody would ask... Does this light grow a lot of good pot?
I think the answer to that question would help more often than not

Best of luck with your choice man, hope it works well for ya!✌

An 100 watt light for $160 is paying a lot per watt. There are better deals to be had away from amazon.

https://www.ecofarm.ca/collections/...561c-led-quantum-board?variant=32382887690328 -110w for under $100 with discount

https://www.ecofarm.ca/collections/led-grow-lights/products/eco-farm-ecox-90w-led-grow-light-bars -Depending on the selection, a 90 watt light will be somewhere between $55 and $100 after discount.

And then there's also Kingbrite, of course.
