Check out Amazon. Thats where I searched for everything and there are thousands of reviews. I'm in the middle of my first grow and with 1 450w viparspectra my plant is a monster although leaving the light as close as possible during veg helped fill her out and keep her from stretching! I was on there today and they have a sale on their new 1000w for $120 which is $10 more than I paid for my 450w. Heat was an issue with full spectrum on but the 1000w is dimmable. With good airflow my plant couldn't be happier!

Hey there, I've got my plants under it now, and I opted instead for the 1000 watt model (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWZF5ZP?ref_=pe_2409890_445922140). And I'm realizing now that I don't know what signs to look for if things are too bright, or night bright enough and need to be closer. Do you have a light meter that you could recommend?
I've currently got it at about 20 inches above my plants at 100% Veg/Bloom, and set up on a timer from 6am to 7pm.
Im not talking about the difference between led and other lights. I’m talking about what they list as a 1000w is actually a 230w
Plants are currently in a 2x2x4 tent with the light (listed below) about 22 inches from the tops of the plants, with the blue light at 100% and the red around 20%. Temp is consistently about 75. I’ve already topped them once and defoliated twice to try to make more room for growth but they just stick so close together.

It's a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YWZF5ZP
I was pretty impressed with them for the price when I was doing the initial sprouting.
I have 2 of these in a 4x4.

I am on my second grow and I am learning as I go. I have no clue what I am actually doing but they produced great weed my first batch.

Been feeding 1.25 gallons of 6.15-6.35 pH water.
4 tbsp Fox Farm - Big Bloom per 1.25g
3 tsp Fox Farm - Buds and Bloom Fert per 1.25g
I've fed that twice per week for two weeks now, prior to that it was mostly just plain water.
75-80 F during the day, 70 at night.
35-45% humidity
Growing with these lights, 100% Bloom, 50% veg. They are only about 10 inches from the canopy though, I switched to flowering way too late.
Sorry I miss read. Here are the lights I use 2 in a 2x4
1000W Viparspectra light with Veg set to 100 and bloom at about 10, about 25 inches away from the plants
