      47 E.B.O Electric sky was in the top 5 lights I researched long and hard. Gavita, chilled and few more for several weeks. I’m no led expert by no means but feel like I did my due diligence in looking and comparing. The bigger bar lights are nice but I thought it would be a pain the ass for my 5 1/2 x5 1/2 space. I like to be able to get in my space and reposition things. From looking at all the different lights,,,,,, the HLG 650r looked to fit my space better and give just as much coverage as most but for less money. My current light is a 250 watt Budgetled light from some awesome guys in Michigan. They build some badass lights. They have come out with new Demon board that looks dope asf. I will post later after I get the hlg 650r and let you guys see for yourself

The ROI on this thing is ridiculouss allready on the first crop. If Deez Nutz thinks he's doing better with this whatever light he mentioned would be interested to hear some results.

    Does this unit get as hot as the 550’s? Which cranks up your AC & power consumption.

    • @gandygrows
      @gandygrows 4 роки тому

      These should get just as hot. LEDs still put out appx 50% of wattage in radiant heat. Definitely a downside I have seen with the HLG lineup. Poor heat management reduces the life of components and eventually reduces output of fixture.

  • @mikemarcusen4773
    @mikemarcusen4773 4 роки тому +3

    While I love my HLG 550 R specs & my 600, they already limit plant height to maintain Proper distancing in flower, Increased distance with more Power? Even with the Extension on a 5x5 Gorilla, minus 36" only leaves 5 feet, without subtracting planter height, or the fact your light would have to be right at the ceiling. That being said, the HLG 550 R specs are well worth the money.

      Don’t start them out on full brightness. The best way to not stress them is in week 2 of flower start clicking the dimmer one adjustment higher each day until they are maxed. this light is very intense and can shock them and or burn them if you start on max

    2) 1700umols - Fluence spydr 2i $1350, Thinkgrow model H $1350, Gavita 1700e $1300
    3) 1647umols - Chilledtech X6 growcraft 600w $1099
    4) 1600umols - Thinkgrow model W $1100, Fluence spydr 2p $1199
    This light is at the top of the list at this power level. No it isnt cheap but its cheaper than its competition while also beating that competition in output.
    A 25 light setup with HLG 650r would output 44,250uls total at a cost of $27,475.
    A 25 light setup with Spydr 2i would output 42,500umols total at a cost of $33,750.
    So for less than the price of 21 Spydr 2i($28,350) you get more output than 26 Spydr 2i(44,200umols)

Easily could have flowered my 5x5 Gorilla tent with only 75% power!! I got such mad gram per watt + bud quality on the first grow with it that i still can't believe!! Just look at the components on this thing; 600w MEANWELL driver, 2760 LED's...SAMSUNG lm301H + CREE blues & reds for the superior bud quality. + It runs super cool. One of the best high end LED light fixtures for 4x4 or 5x5 in 2020 in the industry IMO.

I got straight away called a liar when i shared information regarding my first yield with it. And i honestly couldnt believe it myself....i had to weigh everything many many times and after that i was yielling and partying alone in my crib for a good while 'cause i wasn't used to anything like this with HID!!! I got 1131grams trimmed & cured A+ medical high grade ganja. Topshelf bud, no popcorn. That's like 1,9grams per watt on the first go and that's fucking INSANE!!! I Can't wait what we can do in few years when we get some experience with it and got everything all dialed in. There's gonna be some crazy high gram per watt in the future. It's just an incredible light, couldnt be happier with it!!

Unmatched Spectrum tuned to perfection of blue an far red than any LED or hid on the market today. The one thing you should not cheap out on is your light. If you're going to buy a race car would you want a Toyota Prius 120hp motor or a 600hp tuned engine. There's a huge difference and the science is quite clear there's no light on the market that will match the 650r as of today. This is as good as it gets.

      $2,000 for the chill LED 1500 for the hlg. Chill LED should just chill there using sazzle to handle customer payments if that doesn't tell you something the unbalanced Spectrum ratio blue to red will. This light is going to grow tall spindly plants because it's more favouring the red which promotes stem elongation not a good characteristic if you're growing indoors. Also there including UVA diodes which are only beneficial in the last few weeks of harvest if at all any noticeable difference. UVA which is integrated in all their lights actually inhibits growth in the early stages and takes away energy from the plant because UVA causes the plant to expel energy trying to protect itself from the UVA when that energy could be used in growth. If you're growing cannabis this light is not very good

      Samson's Cannabis basically agree with everything you said. The 650R fixtures I’m in love with. I just got the 650R fixtures so I also got a single 550 V2 Rspec that I want to use at the end of one of the rows to see if there’s any noticeable effect from having the 3000k white diodes. Then when I’m done seeing the difference I’ll use the 550 V2 Rspec as my light I use for my pheno attic area.

      It all comes down to how you think about these things...i bought the SLIM 600H for about 1300 usd / 1200€ and right on the first grow with it got such mad high gram per watt (+ bud quality) that if i was to sell the whole yield i could buy straight away 14 more SLIM 600H's!!!!!!! Now i can't understand how could i see this as a too high of a price! The ROI just on the first grow alone is ridiculouss! You have to consider what you get for the money and what it can do for you. Look at the highest quality components that it's made out of: 600w MEANWELL driver, 2760 pieces of LED chips from SAMSUNG (lm301H!!!) and CREE's best 440nm royal blue + 660nm deep red for the best possible bud quality + plant compactness. With the lifetime of 100 000 hours most of us personal or medical growers wouldnt need to buy another light in the rest our lives!! I'm super fuckin impressed with this highest quality light fixture and would buy it again in a heartbeat!! Coming with my highest recommendations to every serious grower who's interested in some unseen gram per watt + bud quality!!

      Obviously there are people here who just don't understand the science. Plants are autotrophic they make their own food from light the better the light the better the quality food the better the quality plant. Uses less energy less Heat then hid. HID lights have a huge downfall 30% of the light is not even usable by plants and causes excess temperatures in the Leafs of the plants. After a certain point enzymatic activity slows down which means growth slows down not only are you not able to use all of your light in a hid your pain three times as much to run it. Science is real and the results are real I understand it's a pricey light but if you know what you're doing it will pay for itself in the first 6 months 2 times over. There's no light on the market to date that can match it's efficiency quality and warranty. For the love of God if there's anything you should not cheap out it's your light!!💚✌

A 600w MEANWELL driver, SAMSUNG lm301H + CREE's 440nm royal blue + 660nm deep red for the best possible bud quality + plant compactness and with the only 10year warranty in the industry it's one of absolutely the best high end LED light fixtures in 2020 IMO.

It's just the nature of having all the diodes close to the center: lots of penetration but less coverage. Strip lights are almost even across the entire coverage area, but not as much penetration. Pros and cons to each... And it just depends on your style and space which one is better. Cheers.

The lazy method where you vegg for ages and do multiple topping is a nonsense...waiting 3 months before flipping into flowering in a big no no...try a scrog...I guess since it is a 6 foot tent it should be a 3x3 or less I will go with 4 clones in each corner add a piece of fence (the one for chickens) and start asap to use the fence by going up and down plus pinch between every node to have every new branches grow in the same direction so on the side (visualize an human chest with the spine who will be the main stem and ribs branches) with this technique every branches will grow on the sides so no need to topp just pinching training bindin...16 weeks from seeds to harvest depend on strains it could be 2 weeks more or less! And plants remain short but you can achieve around 2 grams per watt (when I started to grow back in 1998 one gram per watt was an urban legend

      x d The 550 is a complete light, you probably are thinking of the HLG 600 h that's a kit. The 600 gives off slightly more par. 550 has a 3 year warranty, 600 a one year.

      Schmelly G why do you think that COB lights are better? I’m about to make the transition from HID to LED and am looking for every bit of input out there to make the best decision

      @@jperks6943 I agree with both you and Green gold. I almost pulled the trigger on one of these new 650r today till i seen it would cost me $1700 canadian. I can have a chilLed dyi x6 for 1200 canadian! I would love to see someone do a shootout or comparison between these 2 lights.

      Chilled all the way! Everything is manufactured in the USA, great company. HLG is way overpriced and quantum boards suck compared to bar leds. All these quantum boards get pretty hot compared to bar style leds and the quantum boards always start to bow in the middle from the weight.

      @@optics4062 if you're referring to the 648+being made by Samsung, that's probably just until they get the tooling moved over to the HLG production line here in the US. It's the only board they sell not made here, but that's going to change I'm sure. It's an American company that employs Americans.
