I don't have meters to read par and all that jazz. I find that most company readings are pretty accurateHi all, please bare with me in case of any mistakes with my English as I'm not a native speaker.
I'm a medical patient in the Netherlands and I'm building a growing space. When my space is ready I will start a journal and hope that you guys can guide me through the process. (Already read myself in but will probably need help down the road)
Back on the LED topic. I have read so many different opinions that it was hard to choose.
In the end I ordered some Ali baba quantum boards, first order over there, so curious when they will arrive.
I don't have meters to test the lights when they come in, however, I will start a journal so that we can all see if they are any good. ( I truly hope so, as I still found them expensive)
Will keep you guys posted once they come in.
Please don't tell me these lights are shit if you haven't tried them.
In case you are planning to create a thread I will surely follow. I also almost ordered the Spiderfarmer, went for the fotops purely because of my grow space 1m x 1,5mlooks like I'll be joining the LED craze.... have a spare room set aside for 2x sp 250 and 2x spiderfarm 2k .... interested to see how they compare.
Thanks for your comment, let's hope the Chinese company I ordered them also has real reading on their site.I don't have meters to read par and all that jazz. I find that most company readings are pretty accurate
not much of a poster and too scared to document anything for fear of metadata in the photos . I went with the smaller designs as I want to be able to keep the lights optimal over the canopy. Currently I either raise them for the tallest plants or leave them short and worry about bleaching.In case you are planning to create a thread I will surely follow.

Do you think my 600 watt is overkill for my 1,5m x 1m grow space?I have a 600watt LED light in my 2x1 DIY grow box.
Most definitely. What brand is it? I just want to see that this 600w is really what it meant to beDo you think my 600 watt is overkill for my 1,5m x 1m grow space?
It is a Chinese brand called Meijiu and the name is 800 fotops v2. A quantum board with top Samsung lm301b and 660 epistar LEDs comes with a mean well driver HLG-600H-AB/BMost definitely. What brand is it? I just want to see that this 600w is really what it meant to be
I believe @Rocket Soul says those are good boards. We like AB drivers! Found a couple threads....It is a Chinese brand called Meijiu and the name is 800 fotops v2. A quantum board with top Samsung lm301b and 660 epistar LEDs comes with a mean well driver HLG-600H-AB/B
I very much like the fotop format for openspace grows. Run them low at 150w and 8 inches and cover the entire crop.I believe @Rocket Soul says those are good boards. We like AB drivers! Found a couple threads....

Indeed. This was the theme of my long g/khw yadayada answer i never got posted yesterday. They dont sell power per w, they sell it per kwh.

That's nice! enjoy your next grow, hope it will give you some delicious budswell my sf2000 arrived packaged nice and discretely. Got one hung ~18" from the tops of my vegging plants. Not really a fair comparison as the plants under it were already stronger than the 2 under the MH now but will see how they respond.
