If you are on a budget, just throw an hid in there.Do you guys know what led is better the vivosun 600w or the mars hydro ts1000
They are totally getting better. My Mars Hydro is like last years model or so? Higher ppfd values than the 2x Viparspectra 300w I was running before but ~5 watts less power draw from the wall and less heat in my tent.If you are on a budget, just throw an hid in there.
Cheap led is a waste of money and generates just as much heat as an hps, or mh
But but but... my led is better than your hid!If you are on a budget, just throw an hid in there.

I'm just kidding theres a place for most lights long as they arent blurple led coffins
Ah see but I have 3k worth of chinese lighting and it works great, but who's to say my samsung diodes and meanwell driver are better then yours. You might be right. But until I fork out twice the money for relatively the same light and put the ppol tester under it can we really ever settle this? I think as stated, every light has its place. I wouldnt recomend something that's been shipped in a cardboard box over seas to be used in a commercial application without extreme testing. But if it met up to the testing why would it be bad? Idk I'm high dont listen to me I'm just here to grow some weedNeither.
HLG, Timber, ChilLed and some others are decent. Personally I would never recommend a Chinese light to anyone.
What are those? Too clean for a DIY, maybe one of the newer Mars Hydro like the ones up for giveaway right now (see my thread below to give me views and help me get one) lolAh see but I have 3k worth of chinese lighting and it works great, but who's to say my samsung diodes and meanwell driver are better then yours.

Which site did you order from?Chinese meijiu bars lol 650w for 700 shipped I fucking love them so far
Alibaba, i did my research first. As some people have proven the ppol and umol or w.e to be correct I decided to purchase 5 of these 650w and havent been disappointed yetWhich site did you order from?
Any chance you have a PAR meter? Just curious what kind of PPFD they outputAlibaba, i did my research first. As some people have proven the ppol and umol or w.e to be correct I decided to purchase 5 of these 650w and havent been disappointed yet
budget is $160 for a light and not interested in the diyMy eyes hurt just thinking about working under those plurple monstrosities.
What's your budget? Tech level? DIY strip builds are always an option and you could possibly end up spending the same/less for a much better light.

DIY LED strip builds have become very popular recently. The mid-power section of our forum is full of threads created by DIYers looking to build their own custom lights, and new builds and ideas are surfacing every day. If you don’t live somewhere where you have easy access to premade lights...ledgardener.com
I was going to say If we want to save the argument you can just shoot me the link. I'm curious for my own research on options more than to start another light vs light battle but I've been typing for 10 hours for work and I'm going slow at this point.I have a link to the guy who tested it and the 7 pages of arguements to follow one sec
