Hmm this seems the most tempting. So I don't even need to purchase the apex Ai module. I'm assuming that although it's gonna be overpowered for me it also has a better spectrum and UV then the original hydra?

Oops....I lied. I just double checked and turns out I bought an apex AI AWM module. Sorry for getting your hopes up

I beleave they are the same spectrums. Hydra 52 just has double of the hydra 26 leds at a slightly less power per led. Which should give you a bit more control like more blues to get more blue output over all , while turning down greens, white and reds with the extra leds.

Hydra is 20 leds 95 watts
Hydra 26 is 26 leds 95 watts
Hydra 52 is 52 leds 135 watts
