I chose the wrong light at first. The platinum is however better than my phlizon even compared to the 1200 version. I almost went for the platinum when looking to replace and then I got turned onto some articles from Prof Bugbee and his peers, cannot recall there names but both bugbee and...

Yeah I've been following along and realising mine are not going to be quite the same as not auto ww. Will be good to compare the 2 grows though.

Haha yeah. My dealer put me onto a boy who recommended them. Should be able to get one though. Been emailing the boy there so all looks good. Think I would have preferred a cob kit but sold out.

Yeah I have few options set up for when I get paid on friday. I was going to buy individual COB lights but a little too much money as looking at £400 for 2 after shipping. Didn't realise they would have as big a cost as was a europe website but units coming from US. An acquaintance...

I got some 2 gals and some 5 gals both fabric. I prepped the 2 gals with soil and perlite as from what I was led to believe if you let the roots form in a smaller pot and repot when they become limited then they form a bigger root structure once they have been re-homed in a bigger pot. This is...

Got an update and looking for advice. Just had the thought to check under my tray for roots and low and behold I have one plant with about an inch and a few tendrils, the gimp has a few poking out also. I know I need to repot but soil is too moist and will not freely leave the tray. I have a...

Thanks man, needing the light pretty quickly so my Veg phase might go faster/better. No sure how long its going to take for delivey as ordered off of aliexpress before and the item took a month to arrive. If I gave myself more time to get a light I would be considering every option.

I must have missed that the mars have dimmers. think the sp2000 may have dimmers but i would have leant mars due to the square over rectangle footprint. I'm sure I will need it, just glad plants are less stressed than I am lol

Cheers, I feel like less of a dumbass now lol I looked at the marshydro lights along with the spiderfarmer, I'm not sure what led me away from them now but i do recall my space kind of fell into a grey area between the 1000 and 2000 of both brands, being too powerful or too weak. I know due to...

I know nobody is "leading" me, it may have been a poor choice of words, and its definitely useful information to have, but for a short time frame I'm worried I will fuck something up. I would prefer to understand something first before going down that road and I'm not giving myself the luxury...

@f series Thanks for all the information. I think I need to take bit more time to wrap my head around DIY lights. Its more the fact in case anything goes wrong I would have no warranty or that's the usual consensus with DIY projects especially if it was my fault for doing something wrong that...

I have seen with comparing 2 cob's of around 100W and 2+umol/w with an economical 315w cmh that your costs for both will be the same at around 3 years and bearing in mind quality led's will last longer and run cheaper then after this point you are cheaper running led long term than you are the...

@CoB_nUt Yeah thanks again man. I am wanting to replace my light as quick as I can. I'm not sure I am going to wrap my head around all this in enough time. Brain is already fried from all the research I've done going from cheap blurple to the more expensive blurples and seeing there was a lot...

Sorry I missed your reply. Thanks for the info.

Just for example I go to the sub forum and select the thread IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE! and its been closed since 2016

Yeah I know but like everywhere there is so much conflicting information and so many threads that i have seen been shut sown due to arguments arising between 2 different schools of growers that i though i might cut down the chaff by actually asking about it rather than confusing myself further...

sorry my bad, it was 560mm. but still concerning size as i would be wanting to be as square as possible

I can't believe i might be considering this. What LED strips would you suggest? When looking seen different models of them. Can you get them shorter as seen the F series was 680mm length? That would almost take up my whole tent and would be concerned about filter and extractor as cannot mount...

I wasn't sure lol When you said aluminium tray it reminded me of the Mars Hydro that looks like its got one of them as a reflector but acts more like a heat sink from what I've heard.

Strongly leaning towards LED's to save on energy cost and replacement bulbs. Would rather put money upfront rather than pay over the long term in electricity and replacements.
