When it comes to quality lighting you get what you pay for. I would pretty much stick with known brands that will still be around in a few years if you have a warranty problem. If your trying to go a little less expensive I can personally vouch for ACI’s quality and customer service. Mars hydro and spider farmer are your economy brands. I have a bunch older of mars hydro lights and they do the job, but I’m wishing I had just bit the bullet and bought some good lights off the top instead of spending thousands on lights I want to replace.

looks like it might actually be a 500w light…maybe, but none of their numbers add up. IMO there is a good chance it’s a waste of money.

I really like the spectrum map. This brand was recommended by another grower on this site just cant remember his name. I really am not a fan of big brands as most of there stuff is over priced and just paying for a name.

So today i planted straight to soil a mike tyson corkscrew auto from royal queen seeds. The cookies gelato that i had to replant has sprouted. So all 4 of the first set of autos sprouted

Im gonna rearange my room a little bit over the weekend so i can fit an ac unit in here


Wanna slowly lower temp to like 72. And im trying to raise humidity into the 50s

Other than that the royalndwarfs are looking amazing. Very low smell coming from them.

Ill update over the weekend with the rearrangement and updated pics…
Keep growing my friends!

So far I think I’m doing a decent job I’ve read it good to keep your colas spread out to prevent spread of anything we don’t want

Yeah looks good… i did real good when they were small then idk what happened lol

Yeah I’m probably gonna top a few more times so I’ll probably loose it somewhere in the mix lol

Yeah i toped them once. I was afraid to do more seeing they are autos

Yeah every auto I’ve thrown in the dirt ended flowering way too early the one I have now I’m kind just letting it go for the fun of it I think I’ll stick with photos for now but definitely will to try some more next grow

It took my autos 4 weeks to flower so not too bad

looks like you got some good growth out of them so not too bad at all

So trying to decide… one 1kwatt light or 2 500w lights… the 2 500s i think will give me better coverage… my room is 5 x 6.5 and the 1k lights seems to dipp off after 5feet

These 2 brands bith have samsung chips but the 281s i have had a couple people recomend them. Also from what i have see just doing a google review search seem to have pretty decent revies. And video testimonials. They both have decent ppfd maps and go intonthe far red spectrum. 2 8 to 2.9umols. Not necessarily cheap but not 800 bucks either
