Led recommendation for personal home grow for me and my family.
For a 3x3 I would totally talk to this company, http://www.pacificlightconcepts.com/product/cx300/. The owner of this company is a member here and has a ton of expertise with LED growing so his expertise is so worth it for growers, especially those new to LEDs. A51 isn't a bad choice either.Led recommendation for personal home grow for me and my family.
which is the better light diy or other models? and what size pots do you use for your 3x3? thanks in advanceI also have a 3x3 tent. In addition to Area 51 and Pacific Light Concepts, I looked at Tasty LED, Johnson Grow Lights, Go Green LED and Optic grow lights. They are pretty close in price for comparable models at the $650 to $800 level. There are more expensive ones but I'm just getting my feet wet and those mentioned will have what a 3x3 needs. They are all made with the best quality parts, too.
The people on this site have me considering a DIY, myself. The LES technology is exciting.
Is that new mars pro epistar160 any good?You're on the right track. You've covered anything I'd recommend

Hey Vegeta.... what does your scouter say about his power level?Led recommendation for personal home grow for me and my family.
I would never say "they don't work." The problem is that they don't work as advertised. You're running yours at 46w/sq ft. You'll get fair results at that intensity, especially if you're growing shorter plants. 55w/sq ft is more typical of what epi-whatever lights need, especially for taller plants. (Mars specs that light at 37w/sq ft, which really won't work.).Paid $248 US for a Mars2 400w and a 2'3" square tent, deliverd to my door. ... Google Marshydro, they do work.
DIY is where those lights got their start. Building a lamp would be a hobby for me, while I grow with a pre-made lamp.which is the better light diy or other models? and what size pots do you use for your 3x3? thanks in advance
If you were replying to me, no I'm not commercial. Just hobby. I don't "have a problem" with Mars anymore than you have a problem with buying based upon quality and value. The numbers just don't add up for Mars. T5HO or CMH are better value (lower initial expense and longer-term viability).So you are a commercial grower investing in a business? How will you justify the outlay of startup capital? I understand you have a problem with Mars, yet I am very happy with the results , FOR MY PURPOSES. Yours are obviously different
