Best led grow light for a beginner

[Fattieblunt1]

Hey guys what's up, finally have the money to get started growing and have a place of my own! Whoo hoo!
Looking at ordering a led grow light and my budget is $550.00.
Was hoping you guys would chime in and give me your honest opinions on a grow light around my price range that would not be a piece of junk and would do its job. And be reliable..sorry I'm a newbie.
All opinions are welcome!

No, 550.00 for JUST the led grow light..my max budget is 1200.00
Since I have a spare bedroom in my house was going to utilize a grow tent.

Are you willing to DIY?........ can stretch that $.

If plug and play only.......look at plc, timber, chilled, hlg for quality & efficient units

Good luck

What about viperspectra? Or advanced platinum led?..I'd really just deal with plug in play honestly

Honestly I wouldn't waste my money on them, hps/cmh is a better & cheaper option compared.....

If you really have your mind set on led, it will cost you for a solid prebuilt unit

Think I will go with timber grow lights

There's lots of good options out there just make sure the LED you get produces white light.
