You could also take a look at NextLight.. I've got their Mega and it's a pretty awesome panel. They make some smaller models as well..

Idk man.. from what I read and hear, the full spectrum next lights have an identical spectrum to hps but goes even further than that.. this is their 2nd largest model.. I think led has come a long way..

Cree LED are easy. Buy a kit from Timber Grow Lights. Better money spent and more bang for the buck.

UVB is easy to do with Reptisun reptile lights in a SunBlaster fixture.

UVB added to store bought lights isn't close enough. They have to be done separately.

Don't take my or anyone else's word for it. Try going to youtube and search UVB for cannabis.

HPS is the buggy whip of grow lights. If you like them fine but LED is the future. They used to use coal furnaces in homes back in the day to. The job of the ice man doesn't exist anymore for a reason.

Gavitas are great but what about in a tent with heat management like hes planning? And height? Im asking because i have a 5x5 too and have been thinking about a switch to DE lights but tent runs are tough to find

Donkey thanks for that link.

LED=65% light 35% heat
HPS= 65% heat 35% light

Easy math.

So UVB radiation plays a role in THC production, but cannabinoids as a whole still retain their mystique. One fact can’t be denied: UVB radiation increases THC in strains that already express high THC.

you can always add supplemental lighting to make up for the missing ubv
