I've never had a problem....BUT it's always a potential risk that it will not make it to you.Sweet thanks man. How often do you order beans from outside the US? Is it not advisable to make another purchase if i just did recently.
Umm there are weeds growing in your garden I think I will blame your light I am just impressed at how puny your pots are, I usually have issues if I go that big with anything smaller then 3 galPlease don’t tell my plants my lights are from Shenzen, they won’t grow good if you do.

Turned thermostat up on heater to bring room to 66f. After light running 14hrs continuously at 66f room temp: the driver is at 120f, heatsink 98f, surface of chipboard 104f.I put this light together today. I think it was a good buy at the discounted price. The spread on the light is much better than the UPBUD 2000w model. They both have 200w drivers, but this has the chips spread out over a 22"x23" area, and the spread over the canopy is better. I've got this hanging over a 2.5'x2.5' area with mothers, and it's perfect for that job. I think you could properly flower a 2'x2' tent with good light across the whole canopy. 3'x3' would be quite a drop around the edges, about 33% drop on the outer edges compared to the center of 3'x3'. Directly under the footprint of the light, the distribution of light is pretty consistent.
I don't have a PAR meter, but I used the Lux Light Meter android app to get an idea of the spread of the light intensity across the canopy. I know that is less than ideal, but it does give a good understanding of the distribution of intensities across the canopy.
***EDIT*** I checked the temps after having it run several hours in a room that was 59f ambient temp. The driver was 115f, the heat sinks were 96f and the surface of the chip board was 96f.
Correct i will say i have been screwed by a lot of "great" Amazon lights. However when HLG was started I was a beta tester and soon switched everything over to QBs after that. i now build all my own lights with Chinese components from Alibaba and they have caught up but I will say I a a huge fan of DIY. I just got home after a few years and two of my lights were not working and it was so nice to be able to just change out a $60 driver and be up and running again. I can't do that with an Amazon light. But hey if you are happy with your grow that is great and i like that people share deals on here.The toxicity of older members...smfh
Hey Spidey! Did you get any of the discount lights? If so, what do you think?The toxicity of older members...smfh
lmao no. I was hoping to get a mars light on the low, but they are doing a 15% off thing on ali and ebay, neither i have an account too. I think im just going to wait for HLG sale tomorrow with the 20% off. Im horrible with making decision, especially when a decent chunk of money is involved. Idk sometimes shit just happens for a reason so maybe by procrastinating a good deal will pop up.Hey Spidey! Did you get any of the discount lights? If so, what do you think?
Yea they're great... but expensive.I chose them for several reasons. One of them if theres an issue with the light. You simply remove the bar that's the problem and keep using your light. Instead of having to take the entire light off line. They're extremely easy to upgrade. If you can't afford the x3 buy the x2. Save up buy another bar and you have an x3 300 watt. If you want the 500 x3 you just buy the upgraded driver. Also American made https://chilledgrowlights.com/product-category/diy-led-grow-light-kits/3ft-x-5ft-coverage

It was. Im just looking to get a "permanent" light thats good quality and within my price range. I would have pulled the trigger if i wasnt waiting for the HLG sale. Now after i passed up on multiple good deals, im going to be pissed if for some reason they dont have it.That 200w board for 50 is a great deal
Stay up until midnight and order it right when the sale starts. I have a feeling they're gonna sell out of some stuff.It was.
