Show us all where the 2 lights in question have exactly the same watts & umols

Yeah thats my concern...i am not worried about the "build" part of it. i would ideally want it to mimic the PPFD output of the SPYDR or else its not the same. In the end the results are all that matter. If building one for a fraction of the cost will get similar results than that is good by me

The spyder is 660w the hlg600 is 600w.. the hlg uses samsung diodes (spydr are quality Osram's) so the umols will be virtually identical. If you want to pay over twice as much for similar results, more power to you champ!

You might want to consider a strip build. Lots of good info here:
https://ledgardener.com/diy-led-strip-build-designs-samsung-bridgelux/ (Including links to parts.)
Arrow, Cutter, Digikey, etc. Just google part # and go with cheapest cost + shipping.
If you did a Slate 6 like mine get the V2 boards from HLG and you can either buy the Slate 6 from them with predrilled holes or go to heatsinkusa and pay just about the same price and drill and tap your own holes.
Meanwell drivers and strips coming from overseas may cost more than they did a year or two ago because of tariffs. Before you click "order" on any parts make sure everything is available. You'd hate to get all of the parts to realize your strips are on backorder.

Thats an old pic of both rigs. I took the drivers out of the tent. It probably shaved a good 5°f off the high temp

5 high! Trim time. These are the stickiest nugs I have ever haf the pleasure of trimming!! As they dry out I will see how much of it will dissipate.

With quantum LEDs I try to hit 80-85 with a RH of 60-65%. That puts my VPD right at about 1.4-1.5. Plants love it. I have a humidifier and heater running on inkbird controllers to keep the conditions dialed in.

Hmm maybe i should,turn mine up. Its hard with having a growbro I'm teaching the trade.
Ita like a symphony.
Lights on 6 am 40°f
By 12 noon 75-80° f. Ambient temp
Somedays it'll only get to 60, but i work and he sleeps til noon because of work schedule. So by the time,he could go in and makr adjustments its too late.
I am teaching him how to adjust the pot on the exhaust fan , intake fan, each driver, raise lower lights, move em, not underwater, not run out of water, staggered harvest, running autos with photos, and 9 plants in a 4x4, and just taught him the art of defoliation so,I hope he doesnt go nuts and cut off all the fans in early flower. Haha ita a learning process and im no Pro

Speaking of these lights. As part of the alibaba purchase for my 240 watt flower light that coming i quoted out one of the 1000 watt fixutres they are selling. They claim Flouence etc but it looks more like samsung strips to me.
But 11 or 12 strips in the light. After i clicked that quote button they keep sending me better offers.
If i buy 20 i can get them for 475.00 (shipping in). I dont want any but wow thats a pretty good price.
2 of those would do my entire flower room but it would be a giant chacotic mismash which is more favorable for me
This is their light spec stuff. I am just amazed how the prices are getting to the 1 dollar a watt to my door price for COB/BOARDS/STRIPS

Here’s my Pulse One readings. I keep the lower veg chamber more humid as that is where my cloning and young clones and seedlings start out before going to the upper veg chamber for extended vegging. Then once it’s to the size I want I stick it into the flowering tent that’s 5x5 with a FGI 700 commercial led fixture, humidifier, coop heater and fans connected to inkbird humidity and temp controllers.
I’ve got a 200 watt 6500k commercial veg led light running @ 140w in the lower veg chamber. A hlg 260 qb v2 running @ 200w in the upper veg chamber. And of course the FGI Lightpanel 700 @ 690w in the flowering tent.
