From a fellow grower: I would really appreciate some straight forward advice as to which t5 would be good for my 4’x8’ tent and later for a 4x4 veg tent. I’m pretty disabled and tired of going on searches without that put me in a going in a circle. I have had to return a tent because it was junk, …

sean1977: I have LED’s I use one of my blurple LED fixtures for seedlings. You just need to set the lights 24 to 30" away from the seedlings. No need to spend money on fluorescent lights which could be applied to higher end LED’s. Also; the best value for the money would be using MH/HPS o…

This is an example of what @dbrn32 was talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Hydroplanet-Fluorescent-Included-Horticulture-Gardening/dp/B019J3UPUS I’ve had the experience of being misled by Amazon LED importers who overstate the equivalence of their lights. Most “1000w” LED lights actually draw 15…

We are trying to help you, there are variables and there are different options depending on those variables. You don’t need to veg off of florescents… But you can. @KeystoneCops gave you a good option of you want to go with florescents but coming from experienced growers if you ask them what they …

That seems kind of rude there has been multiple people in here helping you I dint know what else you expect. You have been given links to lights and told the lights you have will work. What’s the problem?

Ilgm sells seeds they don’t sell lights and equipment so that being said the info they have is very limited it is a complete different line of work and I would recommend staying on here there is a lot of info and people willing to go the extra mile to help out. And there are 100s of thousands differ…

We’re only trying to help. Part of the problem is that your budget for lighting might not be enough for a 4x8 tent that you already own. The cheapest route is probably a pair of 1000w sealed dimmable digital ballast HPS/MH lamps. You can use one of your fans to draw air through the lights without a …

Also, I’m sorry about the trauma you experienced and the way that’s affected your daily life. Everyone here means well, and that includes the ILGM people. You’ll notice they came here to help get lighting suggestions for you, which is above an beyond what most seed sellers will do.

Totally agree with you @KeystoneCops ! I can attest that ILGM, have always given me the best customer service they could provide. Most of the seeds banks will promise to stand behind their products, but few will replace the seeds if they are lost or not germinating. The only complain I have with the…

I use my HLG 260xl rspec lights for everything. From start to finish. Only 1 grow tent. As soon as the seeds are planted, they go immediately under my HLG’s. Less stress and more friendlier on the power bill. When I ran my Viparspectra PAR600 I did the same thing as mentioned above. Also lights is…

@KeystoneCops @dbrn32 hello again! guys im still having a hell of a time navigating thru this forum, yesterday i was reading a post where u both were helping a person with his basement set-up that has water seeping in, you guys had a computer image of his set-up & was talking about hydraulic cement …
