Best quality affordable LED grow lights?

[Trannabis]

Hi growers,

I'm thinking of investing in an LED grow light (ideally a cob LED for full spectrum, with settings for veg and bloom). Im looking for something in the $100ish range since I'm not growing a lot of plants, just 2 or 3 at a time, so something small would work. Does anyone have experience with a light like this? Or do you have any recommendations/links for me? Ideally, I'm looking to buy off amazon for convenience. Thanks!

I use a vivarspectra v300 with built in timer actual 135w works good for my 2x2 hlg has a 100w for 100ish bucks i think not 100%

Need to raise your budget for a decent prebuilt cover three plants in flower..... Generally speaking, what's the actual area?

Affordable is a fairly general term. Budget usually equals poor or lower quality. I think lights are one of the most important parts of your overall grow. I consider HLG excellent quality and affordable especially the kits. For $100 you are pretty limited. Something like a Mars Hydro TS1000 would prob be ok for 1 or 2 plants if they didn't get too big, but something for 3-4 is tough with a $100 light. I think if you are going to spend months caring for and pampering a couple plants, why not use a decent light and be rewarded with the best quality and yield harvest you can?

I guess what I was trying to say is that I know there are high quality lights on the market, but just at a smaller size which would fit my needs. But I will certainly take your advice because after all, I am here for constructive criticism and advice. So thank you!

I have two viparspectra 400s in a 2x4 for veg but two plants outgrow tent pretty fast, I haven't tried to bud in it. They are about 100 dollar range,

I have a Viperspectra p1500 (150w) in a 20x20in tent, about $120. Very nice yields on one plant.

Optic led, Rapid led sell 100w cob grow lights that are a great add on. Hope this helps!

Research research research, check MiGro on YouTube a good review on a vivarspectra I think, even think of Chinese ripoffs, or the best yet DIY.

Yes to Migro, he has some nice lights also. He did do the viparspectra 1500 and was quite surprised.

This v300 proving to be a solid little light , been looking into the vivatspectra upgrade the xs1500 with 150w meanwell driver and the lm301b Samsung diodes
