Dude you could of got a hlg 550 for $550 plug and play I’ve posted it on here before. Always chat to uncle DustyDuke mate
They wouldnt be Stephens lights at that price point. Poor guys have bought them thinking they are getting a deal and then approach Stephen for warranty.. Then get pissed because they dont have any. Stephen being the good bloak he is has even replaced a few of these knock offs with his legitimate boards.
Fair enough to buy them and grow with them but they are not his. Just a cheap knockoff that effect his business. I'm sure there would be an easier way to tell his boards apart @Stephenj37826 ?

But yep they would probably be better than a Mars.

Yeah who knows mate people told me to get a Samsung/hlg light. I found the light I’m using before I brought it I posted on here and a few other threads asking if it was a good deal. Didn’t get anyone respond except @auswolf telling me to get bridge lux strips diy setup which I couldn’t afford at the time but would of loved to use. Other then that not much help so I had to make a decision, which real or fake paid for itself one more grow and I’ll have the setup I want. If it shits itself I have hid as back up.
Anyways here some fakeLG buds I just chopped

Yeah they take a bit to warm up. They’ll make half decent veg light if you can manage the heat. I’d recommend buying some bulbs but because 9/10 those bulbs don’t get replace for years and years.

I like your enthusiasm but 140w led would be a better investment but what ever gives you a stiffi

Unfortunately with this thread if you don’t read it regularly some of the post can get lost. I took a 3 month break from riu and didn’t read back on what I’d missed
