No, not that I dont believe you, its just when you check Budmaster UK site, there is all these "UK made this, UK made that" talk about. One would think its all made in house. Thats rather misleading to be honest.
He thinks you're attacking the lights but I get what you're saying,that the majority of most if not all products are made in foreign counties but assessment in the UK making then UK made.great company y only cob guys I deal with

id be tempted at that price also. lemme know if theres any spare please!
I will do if I see anymore. What tent would you go for if you were using this god16 led then?

I have a brand new 6'' rvk + filter that was just going to go in a cupboard, as it wasn't suitable for dr90's. Now I have this, i'll use those expensive items too (:

1.2m or 1.5m, I know what their website says.. 1.5m, but as you have a god 9, very interested in your opinion on this...

Thanks. I look forward to doing a grow with it! I sold my od9 right at a point where things where a bit messed up in my life. Since then I have regretted my decision.

It's only when I try and grow with other lights that I realise just how much I miss led growing.

I'll do a grow in a dr150 then. Should be a blast.

I've just taken some clones from my Brothers Grimm Cinderella 99 elite female. So will see if 1 or 2 of them root...

How fitting it would be to rock this led with special genetics. These lamps are so powerful, that a scrog may be a good idea.

that thing is crazy expensive, 3,500$ for less than 800w of light, you could buy 7 1kw gavitas for that price.
Nah mate, even with £ being so shite currently, it cost £800 or is usd $973.72. So slightly over £1 per watt, which is excellent for Osram leds.

oh cause that article you linked says this

We are big fans of the Budmaster II 1200 G.O.D LED Grow Light – it’s built with all of the essential traits to produce phenomenal yields and superb quality for indoor horticulture. With the use of Osram diodes, and a modular approach, Budmaster has created one of the top rated fixtures in it’s class. Although it comes at a steep price of over $3,500, it will surely do the job, and do it right. Quite expensive for most, but a great LED grow light panel nonetheless.

My jaw dropped when i saw that price tag.

7 gavitas, no way man, I'm reducing my electric bills, 7 gravitas would be about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

I get what you mean though.. Yeah, it's a fuck load of money. Really it costs me 4 ounces + 1 henry VIII lol

Not in a spare bedroom with a grower who suffers with mental illness that's looking to tone things down big time.

I'm not the warehouse type... I'm just a small time grower who grows in tiny box rooms, which is why this led is perfect!

You ever tried a 315w CMH? they are really some of the best lights on the market and cheap too, they yield really good too(not a lot of heat either), i'm on my first run using them and my friends using them are getting over a pound per lamp. Good luck and happy growing.

Yes I have in my current journal. just sold them. They are good, but they have many disadvantages compared to led.

I just sold the D Papillon + 2 maxibright kits. I did have a 3rd maxibright kit which is faulty, shame as it also fucked the lamp which now has ignition problems. So wasted £200 on that kit, I'm left with a working reflector only.

I did 2 grows with the lamps. Not for me, though I do rate them as grow lights, especially the 4200k daylight lamp!

I have used Budmaster osram panels before. Like this 200w led god4. I know what I'm buying here. An led with 4 x the power of the led in this video.


Osram leds are excellent, there are just bad growers that use them and blame their tools...!

that sucks, i know osrams are excellent led's they make some of the best mono diodes , if it's working for you i'd stick with it, just seems pricey to me but if it's worth it to you that's all that matters, cheers and happy growing.

Thanks. It really is working for me. I grew over 20 ounces last grow for free for a lady with stage 4 breast cancer.

Plus I have constant meds, many high cbd strains too.

Plus I have everything I need already. I don't need to cash crop with a massive set up. I've got everything I dreamt off years back! My time is what I want next! Growing takes that away and there is nothing more valuable than time! Money ain't very useful if you're dead, so I just want to live well and have all my time whilst I'm alive...

I got abused at a boarding school from 6 years old until 13. I have complex ptsd and have managed to get the basic things in life still, wife, kids, house, nice cars, puppy, loads of holidays.

Growing has worn me out recently! It's summer coming and I want my time!

I can't handle growing in the fashion I have been in the past few years. I've got my sportscar etc there is no need for me to follow the long lonely path of making money.

There has to be a line, or things get out of hand with me. I can take so much stress, but when loud fans start stopping me sleeping, I care much less about yields and more about my wellbeing.

My wife went back to work a few months ago too, so have lots of extra responsibilities. I can't sleep in as I have to do school runs. I tried combing both, but it can't work.

Led growing I'll water my plant twice a week, then ignore it for the rest of the time.
