Need BEST new lights suggestion, please: First time grower: What is the strain? ILGM Mixpack, autos, ECSC, GG, BB Indoor or Outdoor? Inodoor, 6 plants to start with, 18 eventually, with 6 flower, 6 veg, & 6 seedlings. (Seedlings may have to go into another space. So maybe only 6 for 6 veg, in ten…

Okay… first, thank you all for the input. I’m just now reading everything and getting my research (and motivation) on for the day. I have been looking into all of this throughout the night and morning hours. I’m down with DIY-ing it if need be, as far as the ChilLED goes (I believe I can manage han…

Hey fano-man… thanks for the input. Planning on doing it all as “naturally” as possible… and letting the plants just do what they do, but potentially doing a little scrogging and lst, if needed. Have seen some decent vids on doing all of this, (even with autos) but I grow by “feel,” mostly, (at lea…

Hey, thank you so much for responding. I very much appreciate it! So yes… I’m definitely a gambling woman, on a budget. :wink: I’m realizing here that the lights are the one thing not to scrimp on, if anything, but I’m also absolutely about saving some money. I’m willing to spend a grand or so on…

[e5bd2826bb9234203c18e62abaa9ac01b0c3e2c3] I built this from scratch for about 1$ a wat for 408 watts of veg sweetnes… I love it… @dbrn32 helped me source the parts… I built 4 of them for a 10x 10 [20190830_182221] and these are hlg 600 rspec I got 4 of them for 10x 10 flower area at 620 watts …

That’s a nice light! @Beltana i prefer the hlg 260 xl , 1300$ for 4 if you part them out. [image] K3 Series2 XL600 LED Equivalent or similar Indoor Growing Yes that’s correct. And if you built 3 260xl you’d be paying 300$ a unit if you go this route (2) PCb …

@dbrn32 the Growcraft Ultra is over the top expensive

Nice build, @fano_man ! & Thank you, @PharmerBob So… Now we’re talking four of these, :point_up::point_up::point_up::point_up: vs. two of the bar-style lights, instead? In a 10X10 space though, vs. a 4X8 space, yeah? (Might have to expand my initial tent size idea… or just use my whole room up the…
