Lol
Is mars tsl2000 any good?
Should it be a veg light only?
Is that AliExpress 480 true watt chosing 3000k spectrum any good?

I'm not a fan of any of those Chinese knockoffs personally, but lots of people have good luck with them. I prefer to buy American.

480 & 720 true watts seems very powerful for the price.
Not worth it if it lasts 3 to 6 months though.

Any American brands that are good without paying 1 to 2 thousand Aud?

They aren't cheap. How big of an area are you lighting?

Was thinking of 4x4 but will stay with 4x2 I've started with recently.
Better I learn a green thumb if it's possible
Seems I kinda suck right now and killed 8. A few dying slowly kinda seeming to be retarded by what I did.
Just transplanted last 2
1 I think good roots white holding big chunk of perlite n Coco.
Other root and I mean 1 short root browny or Orange. Rinsed it in rain water and put it in cutting/seedling potting mix with perlite mixed in from 3 to 4cm depth onwards. (Wanted to see if it can come back from it)
And planted in straight seedling cutting mix this time 2 more seeds anyways.

If it turns out true that it can't flower very well(mars hydro tsl200).
Is there any feasible supplemental lighting I can add in for flowering?

I was thinking of adding dedicated 5x5 flower room as I really like idea of perpetual cycles but have decided I will try to aim to perfect what I have or would be wasting a lot of money.
2x4 it's smallish (but what do I know never having grown) but I'm starting to see benefit of that for a newbie but I'm soo glad now it's not the 2x2 it almost was

This is $315 after promo code "RIU10". Perfect for a 2x4, or get 2 for a 4x4. I actually prefer 2 135's in a 2x4 but that costs a little more. I have 2 135 V1's in my 2x4 veg tent.
