Which of these two lights offers the superior yield? I want the best yield possible but can’t decide between those two lights
Horticultural lightning group California sun Mammoth lighting Growers choice Are better choices Really no difference in the two lights you're asking about According to the data sheet, the LM301H LED has the same electrical and optical characteristics as the LM301B variant
Any light from those companies listed for a 4x4 flowering coverage will be efficent. Hlg blackbird is sold out on their site. https://trimleaf.com/products/hlg-b...ping&msclkid=feb1084dbcc518a257ea6c3fbc9119cc Personally I use a ROI-e720 for a 4x4 from growers choice. You're going to want more watts than 480. Imo that's minimum at 30 watts a sqft. If you're going to get a new light imo why go for the minimum end of efficiency. However that's personal preference.
I agree I would want more then 480W for maximum yield but my closet has unusual dimensions 95cm deep, 130cm wide so I cant use the more powerful lights that are 100cmx100cm because they don’t fit so I was thinking of also adding side lightning do you have any recommendations for a good side lightning light?
The biggest contributor to the success and potential yield of your grow will be you, the grower. How you water, how you feed, how you maintain proper temps and VPD. There really isn't a big difference in performance across the different lighting companies any more.
4x4 tents are as low as 75$ you'll still have to ventilate the closet might as well get a actual tent and take all the complication out of it.
There's a 1,000 different light companies Incandescent, fluorescent, HID, blurple leds, and leds to say they are all equal is a bit of a reach. I know what you mean but for someone unsure of brands, types or know how that's a vague statement.
