For that $230-250 you could build a light for a 3X3 or 2X4 area that would have 10X the spread and twice the watts. And more efficient

I agree but im not a do it your selfer lol

My buddy bought 2 600 watt leds from alibaba and compared them next to the hlg 600' he got from me and they are identical but much less in cost. I think they were 385 u.s. dollars compared to 700+ from hlg. Im buying to 550's v2 rspec and 2 240's from them and its under a grand. Same ip 65 and meanwell drivers.

They are the same thing... i got the kingbright 250w from alibaba.. 30% cheaper same LED's and all.. over a year now and working perfect better customer service also.

These stunners were grown under a morsen (1200 watt) real pull 235watt.
I'll update the gpw when it's dried.. I can't fault the light at all 100gbp and been sound the plants seemed to love it. I'm just starting to build my own led but in a pinch these blurples will grow very dense and decent buds.. I don't think the gpw will be that crazy but it's my first grow do I'm just glad to have it hung..

I'm a fan of HLG-600H RSPEC but I'm thinking about getting a pair of these

Meh, money's better spent on a DIY with 3000k red added 660nm boards and just add some blue/uv monochrome strips.

The heatsink is 50% thinner though. Meijiu has 15mm heat sinks like Hlg. King brights are 10mm.

I wouldn't. They look like a pricey old tech rip off. Maybe take a look at the new chilled led bar lights.So many better options out there for $2000.

My buddy runs the 600 rspec. They rock period. Post a couple back that shows the banana og under them. He got 2 for less the a grand

Currently growing 9 plants under two electric sky es300 v2. First time using led but these lights are awesome. I can’t get the dimmer passed 40% without my plants stressing. Can’t wait to see what it does in flower. Will update this post. I also have two mars hydro sp250s I use for veg.

Nice man. Up your temps to 80 ish and bump up your feed and you should be able to turn up the lights

Thanks. Temps already 77-82. But the feeding part is probably where I need to improve. I was watering once a week because coco loco likes to hold in moisture.

No, your roots just aren't big enough, therefore your plant, and so it can't suck the coco dry quickly like if it were bigger and transpired heavily.
You know, people pull off 2lb plants consistently in 3-5 gal fabric pots.

I saw a guy pull almost a pound in a 1 gal pot with coco. It was multi feed with drippers about 14x a day. Crazy stuff.

I just wanted to chime in “it’s so easy a caveman can do it!” But seriously there’s nothing to it attach a few wires and done

If you can assemble kid’s toys or ever built a model, you can do this, I did!

Light is now at 100 percent. Thanks to stickylungs and airwalker. Just in time for flower. This is the end of week 1. I flipped March 12th. Also some pics of the veg room growing under the mars sp250.
