There is no reason to attack me because I did not understand you.Wow really..what part can you not understand?
Everything you use in a grow is a cost so if you run ac or co2 thats a cost,no matter what you are still forking out money you just dont see it..
And my point id proven by you not understanding you are paying so it might be a waiting game of a few more weeks to get a decent light set up to start with..
Instead of buying a HPS,then after a couple of grows then wanting to upgrade.
I love HPS but the science and proven grows that are being rolled out,with less watts in the same space or you can just go with the very same watts as your HPS and get better quality.
My point was that if you can not afford a LED a cheaper light would at least get you started. To many growers think they need the latest greatest thing before they start growing and never start. If all you can afford is a cheap HPS to start that is a good place to start. HPS was used for a long long time to grow.
I agree that LEDs are much better than HPS or DE but still believe that in the right place they may be the better choice.
I think that the strips that the OP posted about are the better choice than the tape. They have a ridgid back already and have over twice the diodes.
And please dont attack people it distracts from the meat of this thread.
