Best light for the money I have nothing but good stuff to say about this light

[Myfriendis410]

Like @Hogmaster pointed out: this is about the best value for a good lighting source. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that King LED fixture. If heat isn’t a big issue you should look into MH/HPS or CMH or LEC technologies.

If you insist on the China lights I would most strongly recommend you buy multiple smaller lights to increase the footprint. One light in a 4 X 4 would have to be very high (3 feet?) to give you canopy coverage which dissipates the light further and makes it even harder to get to your flowering light levels needed. You would be able to flower one plant in the middle of your space.

A lot of folks have had good luck with the Viparspectra 600’s. 3 of those would do just great in your space and likely be a bit less total $$.

It is not so much discouraging as overwhelming. We are simply trying to provide you with the most effective and currently economical choices out there. Please, ask questions and tag people. Look at grows that folks have done. Here’s a couple of good ones:

Crazy Great Grandmother at it again

Hello everyone. Im at it again. This round a Crystal, a Gorilla Glue, a Bruce Banner & Skywalker. Sorry @Myfriendis410 waiting for next grow for Black Widow. Just wanna do 1 strain @ a time I’ve never grown & hubby voted for b banner. If you dont know me my difficulty lies with only being able to use 400 watt mh & 400 watt hps. But @dbrn32 suggested i have gotten digilux bulbs that state 25% more. Will be using promix HP along with scrog & hoping for over a pound. Babies are being dropped ton…

She’s running MH/HPS for her situation

A ghost with a Brain

Ok, I am on to my next grow For this one is it a 50/50 split of autos and photos For Photos we have Ghost train haze Brain killer haze Thai haze Nightingale NN-1 For the autos we have Blue caramel Pineapple kush Bloody skunk West coast OG These will be grown in a 4x8 tent and two 2x4 tents. I will be using coco with perlite QB lighting GH Flora grow nutrients So here is where we are at Nightingale week 1 [1] Ghost train week 1 [1] Brain Killer haze week 1 [1] And …

He uses QB’s and Viparspectra and kills with both.

Let's talk DIY lights

Hi everyone! Just thought I’d start a new thread for us to further the diy light discussion. I don’t sell lights, lighting components, or work in the lighting industry. I have worked professionally with a few of the components, but in the green energy field. I got involved with led grow lights repairing/modifying basic amazon lights a few years back. Since, I’ve kind of become a local 420 friendly electrical support guy. I have access to a handful of different grow rooms utilizing different lig…

Here’s the lighting thread. You can skim through it as it’s a huge thread (VERY popular)

Fun and Games on the Central Coast

Continuing from my previous journal: I have been slow to update my journal so thought I might as well start another one. First let me introduce the little one: A friend gifted me with the seeds from a medical cannabis company he works for called “Game Changer”. It’s a straight sativa 1 to 20 CBD to THC. About 2 1/2 weeks since popping up. [20190616_121705] Here’s a Thai Haze clone gifted by the same friend. About 4 weeks in flower [20190616_121724] [20190616_121731] Gorilla Glue Au…

Here’s my thread but I put plants outside when it’s sunny so results are skewed.

After watching tons of videos and reviews I’ve decided to go Air-Cooled Reflector hps/mh 600 watt system

[EmilThePhotoGuy]

Is there 1 brand of set up that everyone prefers over another?

[Myfriendis410]

That’s a good solid choice. If heat isn’t a big issue (or at least manageable) then this is a great choice. LED’s are sexy and they (at the high end) outperform everything else but the cost is still high.

[EmilThePhotoGuy]

Is a 1000 watt hps with a 6 inch fan too big for a 4x4 tent?

[EmilThePhotoGuy]

Do you prefer the 2 260W XL QB V2 R spec kit over the 1 600W QB288 V2 R spec kit? for a 4x4 or 5x5 tent?

[DMD]

It’s always better to have 2 smaller lights instead of one.
Better spread of light and you can have them at different distances for when you have different size plants.
And if one fails, the other is still there.

[Poseidon]

I like using multiples for (1) redundancy (2) height and width adjustment (3) spectrum targeting

[Myfriendis410]

All good answers. More fixtures means fewer hot spots and less bleaching or burning. 1,000 watts is a lot but that space could handle it. Assuming good heat rejection.

I have a king 2000w led I’ll sell for $125, buyer pays for shipping.
