Just drop about 2 grand and build u some top notch leds
Haha this is the funny part! I've spent less than HALF that on ALL OF my lights, IN AN 8X8 ROOM, and I produced just about a half pound total dried off of the last 5 autos I cut down.. last month. I'm not complaining.
My electricity bill is less than 200$ a month, and I have absolutely no heat issues.
I get these 600w lights for 150$ a piece.
Not to mention I got the first 3 300w Mars leds for free. I was never a believer in leds. Especially not cheap ones, untill I flowered out the 5 autos with t5s+ leds.
After seeing results I sprung for more. Why,??
Because for cost compared to results, they are worth it! I can hang these little things sideways, face down, pointed up-however I want-for maximum penetration..
That's a 8 bulb t5 on top in the last pic.
I won't say that these leds will work without the t5s, but in my case, they work great for lower and mid supplemental lighting and I am more than happy with my cheap posted "non-working" Chinese leds =))
I'll note my full dry weight from the 3 plants in the blue bucket when I'm done!
