Okay so I have been interested in led..

the most I will ever grow at one time is 2 plants in a 40×40×150 tent

I'm using cfl atm and seem to be okay for what I am growing

At £35 can I go wrong with a small personal grow in a small tent?

I have looked into hps also and I just don't want to deal with the heat and ballast..

Cheers guys just a bit out of my price range only other way with cob is to build my own but I have gone for 120w led I guess 65 true watts? And 6 cfl gone for a mix. As I said it's only for a personal grow.

If you use COB's and NOT those cheap china panels you will get true watts. 120 watt COB power is 120 watt light power. Stay away from those cheap china made panels, you will regret it if you get one. They don't perform and burn out easy from cheep componets, Another alternative is to check out Timber @ http://timbergrowlights.com/ . They have pre-wired ready to go kits.

That free seed is probably a regular photo seed. If you get one of those china panel led's that's good for maybe one plant. anything other than that you better off going COB's. There are growers on here using COB's and getting the same results five years later as they did on day one.

Not true I have those "cheap China" leds they perform well for their price and are a great introduction for people getting into leds and newbs, ive had mine for a year and only a one diode on one panel burned out so far, the thing they suck at is being efficient they put out a good amount of heat for the little power they consume, I have cobs now and love em I cut 400 watts out of my power bill and still putting out the same amount of light and less heat don't get me wrong cobs are way way better but for newbs who don't have a budget for em an $80 blurp will do fine and they can convert them into cobs anyways

And Dan at timber lights is an amazing dude great customer service and will help you in anyway

Here's an auto grown under shitty blurple LEDs
