more sarcasm?Well that's pretty amazing. Hopefully you keep it going because that is one speedy plant.
..69-100 dollars is overpriced for functional grow LEDs? Get the hell out of here.
300w is inefficient? "Old technology?" Based on the wattage alone? I use a 240w BlackStar for veg and a 500w for flower. You don't know what you're talking about. They won't last forever, but they'll certainly work.
How many watts are the lights?
The 300watts lights are the older tech, Very inefficient. I based my post on the newer lights, look at the 600s and up.
A 600w is approx $170http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Hydro-600-LED-Grow-Light-Panel-Full-Spectrum-272-5-True-Watt-For-Hydroponic-/290950075690?hash=item43bdf9d52a:g:YSkAAOSw8KNW~OGo & the 1600w is $590. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Hydro-Mars-2-1600-LED-Grow-Light-Lamp-Switch-Panel-Full-Spectrum-Veg-Flower-/152054490721?hash=item2367276661:g:IXYAAOSwv~xXD9FU
You can get an 1200w COB for $200 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1200W-COB-LED-Panel-Grow-Light-System-Full-Spectrum-For-Plant-Replace-HPS-Lamp-/291701010471?hash=item43eabc3027:g:qOAAAOSwu1VW2VOR
He refers to the "300W" (135W actual) Mars Hydro.300w is inefficient? "Old technology?" Based on the wattage alone? I use a 240w BlackStar for veg and a 500w for flower. You don't know what you're talking about. They won't last forever, but they'll certainly work
No sarcasm in that post. If that plant is only 17 days from flip it's an amazing strain, it's bud sites are really well developed for that age. Most plants after 14 days are just developing. So yes an amazing strain you should work if it's good!more sarcasm?
Great plan for a beginner that your spitting the bill for IMO. I've seen some pretty decent grows done with them and who knows it may only be one lol. Nice of you to set your bro up, kinda like a franchise lol. Having to deal with HID's and the heat they produce can be daunting for a newb, it was for me lolnot for me dude,I don't mind paying the extra money for juice ,I get good end results with 2 x 600 hps lights I was going to get it me bro he wants to start growing ,so I was going to get him one ,just to see if his hearts in it or it's just a fad with him,if he takes to it then I be doing him a room with hps lights.but dont wanna lay out a lot of money if he is just gonna play at been a grower
Good straight forward answer. Not your opinion on what should be used instead.Stick with the 300w LED. Real wattage is 140w. Cheap. And people here do use the Mars Hydros successfully.
I mean OP did ask for people's thoughts on the product and all.Good straight forward answer. Not your opinion on what should be used instead.
True but I think it confuses some new growers. Your right lights are a key factor and expense. So many options and opinions out there.I mean OP did ask for people's thoughts on the product and all.
Do you have a journal?Guess I will be finding out. I have 2 600's that give me a total of just over 550w. Only vegged under one but added the second for flower.
I have kept a personal journal this grow frow germination until now which will be the start of week 2 of flower. Written journal and photos. I dont have it on here but very well could create one if need be.Do you have a journal?
I grew with Cfl's last year and didnt keep a journal and kicked myself because I didnt. Would have been nice for reference but hoping for better results with these LEDs.I have kept a personal journal this grow frow germination until now which will be the start of week 2 of flower.

I would just like to see how you plants are compared to mine. Not dick measuring by any means. I'm just a noob. I've got 2 plants in supersoil from a local shop under 200w of 3500k CXB3590s. Literally the first time I've grown a plant in my life.I have kept a personal journal this grow frow germination until now which will be the start of week 2 of flower. Written journal and photos.

Oh by all means I am always interested in other peoples results. I am not here to out grow anyone. I just really love doing this.I would just like to see how you plants are compared to mine.

Nice!! Thanks for the video. I just watched it and had no idea I could do this. Good to know if these LEDs fail I will have another option and not boat anchors.
Just get some of these and upgrade when you want!
