Ok, so I have been growing autos in my 3x3 tent under a p450. I am wanting to start growing photo's, and the plan is to turn the 3x3 into a veg tent and set up my new 4x8 tent for flowering. Maybe it's because i'm always stoned, but I cannot make up my mind on what I want to do on lighting. I know I want to stick with LEDs. I think platinum is way over priced but I have had awesome results with the p450. Anyways, if I end up implementing the p450 into my new tent, I will get a t5 fixture for my veg tent, but my plan is to keep the p450 for my veg light. Ok let's talk about my new flowering tent. I don't plan on buying any more platinum lights. I am not on a serious budget, I just can't come up with a large amount of cash at once to buy a $1000+ light. It sucks being a grown up and having bills and shit lol. That being said, I was thinking of buying more smaller led panels as I can afford them, and keep adding plants into the flower tent as lighting is available. Another benefit to this plan is I set myself up for a perpetual harvest. The light I was thinking about is the SuperNova. The Nova led people have a video on youtube where they do a par test up against the p300 and it has a higher par. And then platinum has a video showing how their light has a higher par than like 3 or 4 other panels. Being that the SuperNova is 140 less than the p300 I felt like this would be a good choice. I have also been looking into DIY cob leds from timber and cutter but to get the footprint I need I would be spending as much money as I would if I were to buy a couple high end led panels. I don't know what to do. If you have 2 cents, I could use it! Thanks
