    What’s up DGC fam! Looking for recommendations, and perfection. Currently in the market for a veg light for the 4×4. But reading up on spectrums, we want something a little cooler blue(4500-6400) for veg, and something warmer red(3000-4500) for flower. My flower tent has hlg rspecs and the kelvin is right around 5500k. Obviously, they consider that a full spectrum, seed to harvest light. Despite the reds in the hlgs, it seems that is better suited for veg. So I guess my question is, should I stick to the original plan of getting something with more blue for the veg tent, and keep the rspecs in the flower tent, or put them in the veg tent and get a spectrum that closer to 3500 for flowering? What would your perfect light setup be if you wanted to buy once, and cry once? Thank you DGC! Gower’s Love!

    I’m using a Growers Choice ROI E-200. Turns out it’s an awesome 4×4 veg light. I’m getting great results with it running 24 hours. Cool temps and low power draw.

      That’s a great light from everything I hear. The local grow shop sells them, and they seem to sell quite a bit of them with great reviews. Thank you for the vote!
