Super helpful. Just to clarify, I was told above that 10watts HID is about 7 watts LED. One of the boards is 135watts, meaning if I buy two I'll be at 270. Which is just under 400 watts HID. Are two of them really going to be enough for veg? I currently use 600watt MH. I'm thinking best bet is...

Awesome, you've been very helpful. I'm going to get 2 for now, then a 3rd next opportunity. Mars site has none in stock for america right now. Overall this is 280$ for 2 good lights that should work for a bit, kind of the same as @oills recommendation, just slightly more intact and roughly the...

So ideally if I went for LED, I'd need two of these guys, since it's labeled at only 300 watts? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PLZLKVM/ref=emc_b_5_t The 145 mars light is only 135watt. so I'd need 4? Perhaps I could get away with one of the 300 watt and one of the 135?'s There's a lot to choose...

@Bosgrower I'm not sure if this brand is legit, but couldn't I get away with 2 of these -...

I mentioned on an early reply that I didn't really want to exceed 200/250$ for the light/driver/heatsink. Already spending a lot on soil and environment control things. Is this the light you're referring to - https://www.amazon.com/MARS-HYDRO-Coverage-Hydroponic-Spectrum/dp/B0855QW8FK Its...

My closet is about 5x3 and I was able to grow a decent lot of 4 plants with this as lighting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DOS0R8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 It was my first buy and LED's look cooler. Honestly, I thought they ran a lot colder which was the big appeal...

https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/all/products/135w-qb-v2-bspec-led-kit @oill Would something like this be enough to cover 5x2.5 growing space? It's more within my budget. I don't see where it says those heatsinks were compatible with the rest. I watched a youtube video on the...

If they'll last a while I don't mind going slightly over budget, I appreciate the help. I'm just seeing a lot of 500$ or more lights, but that was on amazon.

Thank you for the helpful links, mind if I ask your opinion on the 4 pc LED that @oill recommended?

referring to above post, if 50watt hid is equal to 35watt led, then wont those four 75 watt boards only be about 420 watts HID? I may have to stick to classic metal halide, I'm trying to stay under 200$ right now. The driver and the led's together can run up a decent price, and I honestly have...

Thanks for catching that, and for the advice! I'm only planning on utilizing 24 of the 32 inches, but you have a point. Do you think I should stick to my MEtal Halide light? I was afraid it'd be too hot for a tent.

The tent I have has like 6 ventilation holes, I was told LEDs run a lot cooler compared to MH or HPS. The 2,000 watt says it replaces a 750w metal halide. So I would need an above light with added side lighting? Is there anything affordable you could recommend?

Hello, I purchased a nice grow tent that is 60x32x80. I'm trying to find a good lighting fixture for that space, but most the lights I'm finding on amazon say they only cover a 2.5x2.5 or 3x3 area. The grow light I'm looking at is this one-...

Must be, I didn't expect it to look so different. I thought phenotypes were more strain specific, meaning one strain remains similar to itself. It is a hybrid strain. The short answer Craigson gave makes a lot of sense. they are both "big black banana", same batch of fem seeds. I grew 4 plants...

Slightly better lighting.

Hello, I am a novice grower just starting out. My first two grows were of mephisto “Toofless Alien” and Solfires “Big Black Banana”. The two strains are auto-flowers and about 6-7weeks in bloom. the big black banana #2 looks way off though. The main cola appears to have budded probably 10x more...
