[Star Dog]

I'm looking for something suitable to veg 4/8 plants in a 3.3x3.3ft, I'm not looking to spend a lot of money if I can't get something for £30\40 I'll get by with my hid but the low wattage is certainly appealing?

Personally? I would stick with what you have if it's working until you can save up a little more. The cheapest I'd look for a 3x3 is the Mars Hydro TS1000 or the Spider Farmer SF-1000. @PadawanWarrior there will recommend the HLG equivalent..... they are definitely better but for a premium $.

Basically all 3 will run at least $150 though.

As far as your first questions, they will definitely produce less heat than basically any other light for the equivalent wattage/power. I definitely recommend still having fans to circulate air in the tent and an exhaust fan to keep cycling in fresh air. If you have something with variable power you will definitely be able to turn it way down. I run my fans at ~40% power.

The only thing that sucks is if it's for vegging a 3x3 the bspec is superior...and out of stock

 

[SpawnOfVader]

Either way @Star Dog anything you can get at that price point will just disappoint you, especially if you're trying to fuel a 3x3 with it. I'd save and wait for now if you're getting smokeable ganj

He doesn't have the money for separate veg and bloom lights, or even decent LED for his area.

Stick with HID and save your money for quality LED.

Yes, but you obviously didn't. His budget is 30-40 pounds. That's like $40-50 US. He can't even afford the cheap Mars shit that might shock the shit outta ya.

Do you already have a flowering setup and you're just working on a dedicated veg space?

If he were flowering with it the 135 is insufficient anyways...that's a major price jump.

Actually it was all one run on sentence if you want to get technical.

Let me remind you.

Do you know how much £30-40 is, lol?

 

[HydroKid239]

Can't flower a 3x3 with and sf1000. Maybe sf2000 but it's out of budget. Why not a bunch of cfl's different kelvins? It's cheap as shit.. but he will be able to grow For now.. by the time flowering time comes.. he will have a bloom light.. or a full spectrum beast.

 

[PJ Diaz]

Just stick to HID if you can't afford the right wattage of decent LED.

 

[Renfro]

Just stick to HID if you can't afford the right wattage of decent LED.

Agreed. Half ass it with an under powered LED and it will leave a bad taste...

 

[coreywebster]

Yeah stick to MH or if you can a 315cmh.

Apart from the cost it will be easier to manage come winter in UK.

 

[Star Dog]

I should have been clearer, I've all the necessary lighting as in cfl/T5s and mh, my problem is running the mh for 18hrs along with a 600/1000w flowering tent, I'm getting humped for electricity at 18p per unit, I can barely afford to run my flowering tent as it is.

Just by chance I seen the led on ebay, the prices are appearing and so is the running cost.

I've got a sj clone bunker with T5s it's basically just to start plants then I move them into my big tent.
If I could have got a 2/4k led I'd set up my 3x3 tent so I could rotate crops.

Has anyone had bad results with them?
In fishing and in hifi people convince themselves that budget = crap which certainly is not the case, I'm prepared to burn £40 to try them, unless of coarse they are categorically crap tried and tested not judged by the price.

I'm seeing a 3/4000w unit with a 1 year gtee, built in fans and returnable, can it really be that bad?

Quality LED's don't use fans.
