Awsome trial KMN! and thanks for sharing your experience. how long did you veg?
Looking at the post it looks to be around 4-5 weeks?

Nice clean build.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but I would push air up through those squares on the table to get nice flow under the canopy. Plants will love that.

And yes, you can grow with cheap lights, it just takes a bit more work.

.i think they said "cheap chinese lights do not flower well.."
so far so good though.
Anything will flower well as long as you pump out enough light.
Electricity cost and ventilation will make some options better or worse though.

Even incandescent could probably flower well.

1500W incandescent, 3-4 square foot growroom.
0.1g/w

We need a cheap cob diy led thread
The ONLY reason I'm running veros is for accurate data sheets for figuring out ppfd

I've worked in manufacturing for decades and these cheapo chips are coming from the same factories as yours
All manufacturers have a brand x sold to other companies
