Well i am new to this, super tired right now and just seen the link. if i got the link earlier i did not remember this is so much fucking shit to take in when everyone is saying different shit to use lmao.Have to spoon feed this one lol
Think i might go with 4 of theseimo, im happier with my off-brand purchase (hy-grow lighting solutions) than i am with my SF-4000 or my Mars TS-3000. Dollar for dollar? These lights use the new 301H quantum boards, they have the same mean-well drivers.... and they cost less. still having a warranty. check these out by going to ebay & putting in item # 224099537146 into the search bar. i think the $219 (w $18 shipping) is the very best deal on quantum boards right now. that’s under $1 per watt. SF will cost around $1.33, and they (as well as my Mars) uses the older Samsung LM301b chip. Hygrow sells several versions, and i think the 250w is the best, as u can get several & space them out, getting better coverage. Your 4x8 will need about 4
Yeah look into hlg horticulture lighting group. They have prebuilt or diy kits (really easy) and you will get great results. A good rule of thumb is 1 gram per led watt when you get good its more like 1.5 to 2. Most the kits posted above are not real watts there comparing to the hps or cmh equivalent. If you go yo descriptions or specs they'll say true watts kinda dishonest but larger numbers sell i guess
You’re correct, in that most knock-off LED’s (Amazon) have heavily inflated power ratings. 1000 watts? from an LED that measures 10” x 18”? Exactly like car audio amps used to be. however, my $209 light uses the EXACT same Samsung LM301h LED’s, the EXACT same Mean-Well HLG-240H power supply, and costs a lot less. For those willing to do the research? HLG isnt nearly the most cost effective, or smartest, purchase.
everyone’s going to have an opinion. from the several i’ve bought, in the last year or two? that ebay purchase is my best light. as well as being the least expensive one i have (sf & mars). it’s a no-brainer. but that will change. quick. the newest chip, the samsung 301h has only been around for a couple months (someone else might be able to say when)? read, compare, decide. get er goin either which way. that’s what matters. plug SOMETHING in.Think i might go with 4 of these
yes i have had good luck, they are now UL listed and everything so it gives me peace of mind when it comes to the fire hazardI've only heard horror stories when it comes to their lights but I'm sure they could have stepped their game up. I shouldn't generalize but once a homie has a fire from Vivosun equipment, I stay away. Have you had good experience with their lights? I like their accessories and smaller grow items that aren't electrical.
None of these. Stick with a known manufacturer. DO NOT BUY chinesium lights. I made the mistake of buying Gavita clones DE HPS. Did one grow plants grew weird. 2nd grow changed the bulb same thing. I switched all my lights to Gavita guess what its a big difference. This goes for LED too. Stick with a known brand. Buddy of mine used Spider farmers got shitty yields and went to Gavita LEDS got a massive yield. He is now looking to upgrade to Chiled or lumateks i think its called photontek or something in NAhello can someone tell me what kind of lights i will need because i do not know much and this is my first grow. I currently have 4 little lights but i wanna know what exactly and how many lights i need because i heard these are not that great. Here is information to the lights i have now and my tent size. I will be growing 6 plants in it as big as i can possibly grow them to fill the tent. Any help please. Lights are all pretty much the same size that i own 8×12. The 3 i have say they are 1000watt each i am not sure if that is true. The other one says 4000watt. Please let me know the best lights for the grow tent and for the price.
