- The new Photontek XT 1000W CO2 PRO is an extraordinary and revolutionary fixture. It is the first LED Bar Array fixture specifically designed and marketed for Ultra High PPFD in sealed rooms with supplemental carbon dioxide. It delivers an incredible 2429 µmol of usable light which is double the output of a 1000w HPS. It is ultra-efficient and generates very little heat, which allows it to find a home in sealed rooms that rely on air-conditioning. With 10 removable LED bars, it offers flexibility for growers with and without a sealed room and CO2.

Grower’s often ask me, “What’s the best grow light for a 5’ x 5’ space?” I have an unequivocal answer now. It is the Photontek XT 1000W CO2 PRO. You may not need all this light; you may not even be able to use all this light, but there is no other fixture that offers as much power and flexibility.

Incredible work! Thank you Dr MJ coco for your continued unbiased scientific approach for growing cannabis
solid info, loved the non-biased opinion. The podcast with growcast about the diodes was also extremely eye opening. Makes me evaluate my light purchases a lot more, make sure I'm not overpaying for a brand name. Your site has helped me develop my grow game exponentially, would like to see more info on the drip irrigation/fertigation frequency, some instructional videos would be much appreciated.
What an amazing video . The one stop shop for all your lighting needs. the place to be. Growers love .
you gonna run this one after the medic grow?
@@rahkielsingh6028 that would be interesting for sure . Not a co2 grower myself. But you never know.
@@hempwithgg do you use the exhale bags?
I always look forward to new videos from Dr. Coco!! This channel is so informative! I just started my first cannabis grow and have been relying on the information on Coco for Cannabis. I'm excited to see how my plants will turn out!
Thank you Jordan - Good luck with your new plants!!!
@@DrMJCoco Hi Dr. MJ Coco. We are a manufacturer of LED grow light. We have a new CO2 diffusion led grow light. Would you like to take it for testing? I can send our tech spec to you.
Beautiful light for a 5x5 I must admit👍🏻
What is the difference in watts going to do then? I was planning on getting the 600w for a 5x5, what would be the difference between this and a 600w if you used both in a 5x5
Have this light. It’s a monster
Amazing light.. Great cameo..wonderful information. Appreciate it Doc
Thank you Growmie! Grower Love
Thank you so much for your time and knowledge put forth in this video 🙏🏻
May have to pick one up. I love Anything lumatek
i've been learning so much thanks to this channel and the website. i can't wait to start growing when it's legal in my state this summer!
Then don't
I don't care what light you use when it's in vegetation but when a flowers uses CMH and MH at the same time for high potency
@@easygoindood uh, i've been waiting almost 20 years to do this. i can wait a couple more months and not risk a felony conviction. plus, i've still got more to learn until that time comes.
@@bluetextonwhitebg best way to learn is to do. You don't have to start with a 40 plant op. Just do one, the feds won't come for you over one plant. But I get where u coming from

Hey! Thanks for always sharing so much knowledge. Been reading your book and articles at your website. I have a cannabis club in uruguay and it helped me a lot!
Great video ! I’ve never seen one so detailed.
some of your BTU math seems a little off. The Gavita all watts eventually create the same BTU in an enclosed space 3.41BTU=1w. The higher BTU #'s they give for the bulbs seem to be rounded numbers they give to recommend AC units. Both HID units should be around 7k BTU assuming the wattage is accurate.
The LED is dead on with this number.
Not that it makes much of a difference, the Photontek fixture obliterates them either way.
This is why at the end your ratios don't stay the same after the AC is applied. If done properly it should stay at the exact same ratio if it was 2:1 before it should be 2:1 after.
I want one hella bad ive been running 3 600w hps covering a 5x10 space i could get a better yield with this light in a 4x4 core space
I have a 10‘ x 10‘ sealed room and I am seriously considering 4 of these lights…..
absolutely awesome work mj. this light looks incredible too hot damn.
Thanks Growmie - Grower Love
I believe "Hishine" in China produces these lights. I was sent a "catalog", a PDF, and they even "slipped", and called it Zeus? And I remember that name. Ah, Shane of Migro's channel tested "The Zeus" 600W last year. "Too good" was the title, and brought about his change with his great "Array Series".
Well, Hishine had a 800W version, 8 bars, w/removable driver and 2m Cord for placing outside the grow area.
Phototek/Lumatek don't seem to have the 800W version, so when you removed the 2 bars, I was psyched! I ordered a Sample of the Hishine 800W version. It was around $325 US, but came to $508 with Shipping.
They're not colored purple or black, like Lumatek/Phototek, and don't have the symbols on anything (like the driver? Hishine driver with Lumatek name means Lumatek driver?
Maybe they've always created their ballasts and other products from Hishine in China?
I'll never forget checking out Alibaba years ago, and instantly recognized who "Growers Choice" buys from, who "Nanolux" buys from, and several others. I believe Lumatek works with Hishine, as their P-G03 Models mention Zeus (accidentally, but good for me!). I don't think anyone else sells the 800W version in The USA (or anywhere?), so maybe I can!
If you're bored and interested in comparing the two, please check out Hishines P-G03 Models. A simple PDF! I'd send it to you, but not sure how to, exactly.
Thanks so much for the 8 bar test! I'm really looking forward to one in my 5x5 Gorilla Tent. One fixture, one dimmer, and an isolated driver away from the tent! This will make a big difference compared to the 1000W+ of Quantum type boards (along with drivers) I've been using, and are difficult for some to dim.
Should really cut back on any AC Charges! As well as a few hundred Watts not needed.
Thank you once again, Dr MJ Coco!👍👌🤔😲😄💜🙏
Looking for them now and links?
@@TekkHakk Sorry. I just googled HS-PG03 (zero-3), and below the top ad pics, 1st listing, it should be..
Hishine, and The 3 HS-PG03 fixtures are advertised there. I started with their PDF Catalog of the 3 fixtures.
Good luck my friend!👌💜🙏
@@timturk1899 How do you like the light? is it bright any problems? I found them been talking with them about the leds. Thanks.
Can you remove the driver in the Hishine lamp? I’m looking at it and it doesn’t seem like you can remove it and it doesn’t say that in the specifications
@@engell3707 I'm waiting on a sample now. I had to pay $3-$4 extra US for a "2 Meter cord" so the driver can be put outside the grow area.
That was a main factor for me in trying one out!
Can you still use the light even though you're not doing a CO2 grow
I’m confused as to if I can use a carbon filter and ventilation while adding my co2 to a grow tent? Can someone please enlighten me? New to indoor growing.
I think I'm in love
can i use it in a 4x4 grow tent with out a co2?
Please test luxx 645 led
What do u think bout the slim 650s optic
This is the light 💡 I need 💯🔥
Test out the HLG 600 rspec!
You can get 3 fold 8s. For the price of one of those
Plazzzzz plzzzzzzzzzz test the optic led slim 650 s ......for the love of all that’s holy plzzzzzzzzzzzz
I asked them they won't send a fixture
Agreed!!
I think dr autoflower reviewed that light
Fuck optic led...that guy is a joke
I asked the same to Dr Coco !!!
If you hang it at a distance of 12" (30 cm) from the top of the cannabis, turn it on at 100% and add CO2, will it be good or will the plants get a light burn? What should be the minimum distance from the tops of the plants?
I have no doubt someone will pull 5 off this light in a rdwc system...
About to test this theory 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
@@ghostgrowz9750 I’m testing also
Maybe if it's still wet and you included the dirt
@@aerithgrowsflowers Dirt? What kind of RDWC system involves dirt einstein?
@@ghostgrowz9750 It's been done by a friend of mine running Super Silver Haze recently and using House and Garden Aqua Flakes A&B for base and I can't tell you what he was using for enhancers. More than likely some PGR's...
This might sound like a stupid question. What would happen if you removed the two bars and lowered the power to 75% would it allow you to hang the light at a lower height and still achieve the same ppfd?
Another excellent reveiw. Thanks.
How about the calculations for added dehumidification when using less ac
I would raise these lights a few inches more to prevent fox tailing. Cutting it too close without c02 and it will hit the outer map better.
Take a dab every time he says "Photontek XT 1000W CO2 Pro" 😄 Great Video, is this still your favorite light?
What type of diodes are they using? What driver brand are they using? Is it upgradable? How’s long I’d the lifespan?
this is a 6x6 area fixture, easy 2 of these 2k watts from wall a 6x12 room
I just bought some E680's....will be trying this when I get more
same. i got the e720 rt currently
@@rahkielsingh6028 Awesome, how was the yield and quality?
Very good!
I just got one, hung it last nite. It's in the middle of 2 HLG Scorpion R specs
Great work your reviews are top of the line always, it looks like this light is much better than the Slim 650S from Opticsledgrowlights ? Could you help me on that before doing a purchase between this two models ? Thanks
Thank you! and Yes, I agree - I would go with Photontek. Grower Love
Just ordered!
Im.gonna have to been waiting on non co2 for a year and still no eta
@@kennethcunningham70 bro tell me about it. Also waiting for that one. Have you checked out the chilled 1000w? Considering just getting that...
Exactly the video I needed 🙏
Great video . Is there a harvest potential range for this light whilst using co2 @ around 1500ppm
The light has only diodes 3000K and red 660nm? Why didn't they add 5000K?
Awesome video Doc 💚
Hey dr coco! Will you do the hlg diablo? It's a Toss up between these two would help a lot in 5x5 information is lacking
Imagine putting this in a sealed 4x4 with added co2 👀
Try a two by two.
Fantastic work!
Can you program ‘red’ light only during flowering stages?
being that a 4x4 is probably the best sized tent to have.
Thanks so much 😊👍
Have you grown with this light.. ? In a 4x4 like this yet my friend has...😶
Just ordered one ... not waiting for just the pro only version .
Looking at EU prices between the 2 versions. ,your only going to save 175$..
So I figured I would just grab the Pro c02 version using a coupon code, I paid 1485$
Hi everyone I hope Jesus is blessing you all. At present I'm running a 4'×7' grow room. I have 4 Maxsisun PB1000's, 1 (wish) 100 watt, 1 (wish) 50 watt and 1 light bar 140 watts that I made using A14 LED bulbs. Do I need to add more light?
Ask jesus.
@@jctorres4607 I asked Jesus and he said that he created the Sun to provide light for the Earth which he created as well. Thank you for your suggestion. May Jesus Christ bless you
I always say you can never have too much light, only not enough plants.
I would like to know how that chill Tech grow crap X6 1000 watt with compared to this light
Do they sell individual led bars if they burn out ??
Found my next light! Great review Dr Coco!
You will enjoy it! Grower Love :)
When you are making PAR maps, is the light dimmer at 100%?
Been Waiting for the non co2 with the bigger frame to come out. Want to run 4 over a 12x12 canopy. Do you think these c02 ones would work good covering 6x6 area ? Taking consideration in for overlap from other lights
Yes, the CO2 version will work great if you have enough height - at least 80cm between fixture and canopy. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco hi Coco master,...
I can put in the groowroom 120x120 the photontek 1000 pro CO2.…?
@@DrMJCoco how the Beast led for the groow 120x120 with all 1500 PPFD
@@DrMJCoco how many ppfd Max for plant?
@@damianoceruti8628 look on migros channel he's done a video on it. It will do a big area with out CO2.
Would this light be good for a 7x7 8feet high room with a 5x5 scrog net in the middle ??
Fck - im too late for premiere :( Great video as always Doc!
Why did they release this before the non co2 pro 😭😭😭😭😭 still no word on non co2 version I'm contemplating just buying this but non co2 pro is wider
I hear it is still going to be a few months for the X1000 (larger frame). The larger frame presents design and shipping challenges they had to work out.
@@DrMJCoco can you review medic grow 880 watt spectrum x next pleassssssseeeeeeeeeeeee
@@kennethcunningham70 That Spectrum X is a badass light!
@@gregwallace6159 you got it ?
What kind of chip? how many pcs?
Hi looking for a light system ....for a current culture 6, site 13 gal buckets, and are side by side.. I want at least 1500 PPFD at the canopy for running CO 2. Looking for advice...these are the 2 lights I cannot choose between and am stuck.... the photon Tek 1000 C02 pro or multiple multiple Mars hydro sp 6500's.. Given my budget and the performance of these lights as documented which one's would you go with? Qty 2 photon tek's or 3 or 4 mars hydro sp 6500's? I was leaning toward the photon Tek but I was told by a worker at a hydroponic store that it's got multiple failure points starting with the magnets & the way it's constructed? Then I came across the Mars hydro 6500, the way that thing puts out PPFD if I get them side-by-side I know I can overlap and have a much more solid consistent PpFD throughout the area, ...and 4 mars Hydro SP6500's cost the same as 2 photon teks?? Thoughts? Thx
if the area is 60 inches from side to side .. the white lines are like 1/4 inch ish .. what size of the squares
why dont you recommened hlg lights on your website?
With this light and co2 youre gonna get straight golf ball nugs
I’m guessing one has to buy the controller to dim the light
When I switched from my SE 1000W HPS Cooltubes I went with the Growers Choice roi 720e, switched back in April, here we are in August and already having issues, one of the Master Controller climate sensors pooped out on me (stuck at 99% humidity). Wish I had waited and went with the Photontek XT1000. 🤬
🤣
I still run SE 1k… been wanting to dabble in LED. Still not sure which one but this one looks killer.
@@kevinkline1947 Go with the Photontek, stay clear of the Gavita LED’s they are trash, if you’re on a budget go with the 720 add the UV Booster bar and Co2 and you should have no problem knocking out 2-4lbs in a 4X4.
@@the_gold_canopy No problem getting 4 oz /sqft? Have you grown weed before?
Awesome look!!
possible to test Lumatek Zeus 600W Pro 2.9
thank's you
Slim650s optic triple spectrum Dimmable vs this I need know ASAP 5x5 thanks
One bad mamma jamma right there
Great vid as always.
Glad you enjoyed
Can you buy individual bars and other components?
They mentioned that they will have individual bars available later this year. Grower Love
Sir Dr MJ coco can you do DWC tutorial in your web page?
19:41 What is the name this device for the PAR-test?
Has anyone done a review on the kind X2 led commercial light yet ?
why do lights only get hung a little over 1.5 ft above the sensor when you will never put those lights anywhere close to that? Wouldn't it be better to show the results with the light hanging about 24in from the ceiling to account for ventilation? Honest question. Thank you for all the time you put into these videos!
Has anyone started autos in biodegradable pots ? Are they safe to use instead of starting in a large pot ?
Vs. The HLG Scorpion Diablo??
Where's the spider farmer SF 7000 video you said that you were going to drop over a month ago???
it is next up - these things take me a while :)
@@DrMJCoco man I can't wait. ✌🏼💪🏼
Hello new grower hear! Will this light fit in a 4×8 grow tent? Do you have any recommendations on how many light???
Your better to go with (2) 600watts - since photontek’s 600watt is for 4x4…. This 1000w is for 5x5
Use discount code BLAZE at checkout For a extra 10% off
can you use removed bars as side lights somehow?
if they made an extension connection cord you possibly could
This light is dam near has a btu heat output as a double ended hps, what’s the point of led if it’s list as hot
It puts out twice as much light for the same amount of heat/power! Grower love
@@DrMJCoco definitely love that,
What are your thoughts on the gavita ct 1930e? The µmol output is 1930 , but the
But the maximum
PPFD: 367.2 μmol/sec/m2
At 4 feet and these need to be hung at 4 feet. It’s supposedly a 1:1 replacement for DE. I don’t know what I’m missing here. But that seems really low. For the 1930 being gavita and supposedly one of the best out today. I been wanting to replace my DE and was going to go with these. But I don’t like these numbers
I'm afraid to ask $
Don’t lol. My bank is not too happy with me
price is nutz for this light. hope you got it for free haha
Yep. Only Mars Hydro or Medic Grow for me
@@gregwallace6159 how many lights have you bought from medic grow?
I want to know the price per month with this led
That's all math you can do with the specs provided. If you're running flower then 12 hours a day of 1000w's of lighting x30 days.
The price is well below the return.
The photontek lights smash all hlg lights
Would this work in a 5x4 with 8 ft ceiling without co2
Yes, but it is too much light regardless of height (assuming reflective walls). So you will have to run it dim or without all of the bars. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco we are going to be upgrading from the Mars Hydro FC6500 in a few months, do you have a recommendation for an American made light for a 4x5?
Check chilled x3 mini 200w for small growers✌
nice stealthy box 😂
I never used L.e.d before, but im buying one soon . I prefer this light to the black dog phytomax 2 lights .
These lights are half the price of the black dog lights , so you can get 2
For the same price .
I'm in the UK so I have to settle for the ugly purple ones .
The real question is , it is usable in a gorilla grow tent 5x5 without co2 ? like 75% in bloom ? Any idea ?
You'll need co2. not to expensive to get a 20 lbs co2 set up
Yes, as I show in the vid - you can run it at 75% or with 8-bars to get the PPFD to levels appropriate for ambient CO2. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco Thanks, i think i found my new light :)
Those charts are meaningless. Why did you use 2 DE and 2 HPS? to tell how this might actually related everyone just has to divide all your numbers in half now....
The XT 1000 puts out about twice the light of a 1000w hps. Compare the usable PPF. If you want to compare the same amount of light from HPS as the XT then you need two HPS. Hope it is clear now. Grower Love
What ac unit is going to complement this light while keeping CO2 inside the tent? Don’t they all vent outside ie mini splits, window units etc.?
Sort of correct - you need to get a double vented A/C.
@@DrMJCoco thank you. What would you recommend for a 4x4? Something that doesn’t break the bank…
Your coupon for the viparspectra p-series doesn't work anymore..
it should be working again soon. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco I appreciate that..
If they took off that last bar and it still put out light I was going to buy one immediately! lmao

In a 5x5 area I beg of you ma lord 🙏
I'm waiting for non co2 but no word in a year plus on release I ask every 2 months
