Now you're getting on a high horse and arguing syntax. I'm *so* sorry I misspoke and didn't have time to correct the typo before you decided to hop on me for a light.

No one said the light was top of the line? No one said it was fantastic? We said it's affordable and will get you through. Being an elitist jerk and judging people for doing what they can doesn't make you a better grower, fyi.

high horse?? elitist?? Im recommending a cheaper alternative.. how is that elitist?

btw what made me a "better grower" was a willingness to listen and take advice.. Your recommendation just happens to be trash.. please dont take it personally champ

5k is also a veg spectrum and 3.5k is approaching that, so as a primary veg light in a separate veg tent? I guess, even tho the hlg 65 is $99 and u could just get it in 4k, but as a general purpose light? Not really, u want a better light in 3k maybe 2.7

I have 2 CLW Solar System 550s So Called Blurple and I surely don't need and AC unit or Dehumidifier I don't know what they're talking about heat issues, My 550s don't put out hardly any heat. Not sure about the Mars Hydro,
Not sure why people are dissing those I know things are changing, But the ones I am using are great lights I am not in a little tent my room is big and my Blurple Solar System 550s are outgrowing my 3 600 hps and with hardly no heat at all.
I am surely not saying the QBs are bad because they're not, and either are the So Called Blurple I can testify to that.
My 550s, I have full control over with controller can turn reds up blues up whites up or down with a dusk to dawn feature one controller adjusts all lights up 1000 lights with one timer, I can't say enough about these lights.

It doesn't put off a lot of heat - but we've been having a heat spike and my apartment is ancient and holds onto humidity like a MF. Whenever I water the humidity in the tent spikes to 85%, it's awful.

bro.. thats $12-1400 worth of light.. I hope theres "hardly no heat at all" for that price.. the "newer" clw are good lamps.. just overpriced as hell for what you get... and I kind of doubt they would outgrow the 3 600s but hey its your story

For the record any money that u dont spend now on ur lights u WILL end up spending in the future, and ull be respending every penny u spend on subpar lighting and trying to make it back on a subpar yield, do urself the favor and skip right to the end

You claim you're not on a high horse, then IMMEDIATELY call what I was able to buy "trash". I'm not even the only one who's saying they're okay anymore. Nope. Not being elitist at all.

bro you could have bought a cheap hps and came out ahead.. If you would have taken the time to read what I said instead of getting all in your feelings, you would have seen that..

Maybe you should look up the word elitist before you use it again..

sorry the lamp you bought is trash.. but it is

Are you joking right now? An HPS light, plus ballast, plus hood, plus fans to cool- and you'd call that coming out ahead?

My feelings aren't hurt - takes more than some internet rando to do that. You just can't give advice without harping on what people are doing, apparently.

And you're going to need the "fans to cool" for your filter anyway.. so yes.. I would say you would definitely come out ahead over the POS light that you recommended.. please understand Im coming from a good place.. I wish someone would have told me all this before I bought my POS blurple LED...

And Im a fan of LED.. I really am.. but only really recommend them now if you can wire them yourself or have a good budget.. Cheap LED = door stop

Oh that's fine, you just don't have to be a douche to tell people they can do better. What does calling someone's light a piece of shit do? Just makes people not care about what you have to say.

Want to come from a good place? Then come from a fucking good place. I don't need that shit when I'm dealing with all this already. Thanks, no thanks. Take the attitude somewhere else I can wait for someone else's advice.

This was in my very first comment, but dude acted like I was straight up advertising for Mars lights:
"I talked to my caretaker as well as three separate grow stores in my area, and all of them said they had seen decent results with Chinese lights. If you think about it, spending the scratch right now on a "cheap" light will get you through a grow or two and save you a TON on buying. This will free up much more savings for you to go all out on a COB setup later."

The blurple i used to use is just used for my cloner and breeding tent in the other room now, if u want to end up using it for a smaller project like this in the future i suppose its not the worst buy, but if ur looking at producing flower at all ur better off just spending up front, if u factor in ur increased yeild, not having to respend hundreds at anther time, lower elec bill and better quality, u really cant afford not to go big

That's my exact plan. When I was buying a tent, my first one got stolen off my porch and replaced by Amazon for free. Long story short - had a witness to the theft and found the guy who did it so now I have two tents. I'm going to use one as a veg and one as a flower tent.

Hah i had the same thing happen to a gun safe i bought off them, yea im currently running a 2x2 for cloning and breeding with my old mars, a 2x2 for veg with a HLG 65 in 3k, and a 4x4 for flowering with a HLG 600 in 3k, pretty close to a perpetual grow at this point
