Lol, now this brings up more questions. I've been using 600w for years. If I wanted to go to 1000w, would it be as simple as just switching out bulbs? A 1000w for a 600w? Would I need to replace my ballast? The light fixture? Sorry for the dumb questions but Ive been using 600w for years...

What makes the HID buds better? I'm not looking to argue, it's just all I've ever used is HID, so all my first hand knowledge is based on them. Don't most large commercial grow facilities use LED?

Thanks for the replies guys. Right now Phlizon is at the top of the list.

I'm trying real hard to talk myself out of my old archaic HID light, and entering the world of LEDs. Less heat, less electricity, better canopy coverage. But how do you choose? Manufacturers, models and options vary wildly. Two have been catching my eye. Phlizon FD6000 Plus And Spider...

a few years back my cannabis mentor gave me 5 seeds. Strain was Body, Mind and Soul. Said he got the seeds from Australia were supposed to be the bomb. All five sprouted and grew into beautiful males.

How much heat does a driver actually throw? The reason I ask is, our tent is in a spare room that really doesn't get a lot of heat. This was never an issue since my old light was HID and that really kept the tent cooking and the room comfortable. Will a driver produce enough heat to keep the...

were you happy with your results?

I'm looking at the same light. Can you tell me more? Were these plants autos? Thanks

My HID konked out, and I'm in need of a new light. I'm about ready to set my hair on fire. Ive been chasing my tail for over a week researching lights. Looked at eBay. Forget it. All scams. I came across a company called Phlizon. Light seem good, 640w, dimmable, full spectrum. Same...

Honestly, I'm the wrong guy to ask. I like the way weed makes me feel, I don't esp like the taste. It's all wasted on me. Cindy99 gave me a real invigorating high.

I grew Cindy99 on my last grow. It was excellent, all my friends loved it. Would definitely grow it again.

yes, it's all I've been doing for weeks. I'll have a master's degree on the subject shortly.

I've been growing with HID lights for years, and have only paid casual attention to LEDs. So now I'm being forced into an LED and I have a newbie LED question. New light is a dimmable. When growing photos, when it's time to flip to flower, is it as simple as changing the light cycle from...

I replaced the ballast at the very end of my grow last spring. Brand new ballast, probably ran under a month. Can't get my HID light to work, so I need to determine the cause, starting with the ballast. Is there anyway to test the ballast?

My HID just konked out. Not the bulb. It's either the ballast, or the light. Anyway, I'm moving on. My wife and I went to a hydroponic store to price out new LEDs. The guy who worked there knew me, and asked why don't I try and figure out what's wrong, and try and fix it. I told him the unit...

After growing with a HID light for years, I'm making the switch to an LED. The light as a dimmer, calibrations are 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. I never take things at face value. I always double check. That being said, how do I test/calibrate my new light to make sure the manufacturer's settings...

mostly indoors

Here's another thought. I also have two small 100w full spectrum LEDs, about 12"x7" each. If I were to feel my new 480w LED wasn't quite enough, would it make sense to add these two small lights and run them in conjunction? Then I'd have the 480w plus two 100w. Total of 680w. Or doesn't it...

Phlizon Spider SE5000

After years of service, my old mh/hps unit finally konked out. Could be a ballast, could be the unit itself, but I'm wasn't spending anymore time or money on it. Not to mention it gobbled up energy, and generated a lot of heat in my 4x4 tent which burned a few buds on my last grow. Been...
