Hi guys. i would really appreciate if you could help me .It will be my first time under led lights. i look on aliexpress, alibaba, from viperspectra, mars....dont know what to choose. i will explain my future grow plan.
My total grow space is 5ft x 3ft x 6ft. On left half side i would like to grow on scrog (2,5 x 1,5 x 6), soil technic (2-4 plants), on the right side i have made homemade hydroponic DWC like on this link
(2-4plants). i am for sure i would need 2 lights but not sure what wattage and how much problem will have with height. i have strain blue kush, will started veg with my clones.

What's your budget? Chinese made LED's come in two categories for me. The good ones are made to spec for foreign companies and tend to be fairly expensive but work well and are reliable and then there are the ones that are made in China for the cheap end of the market. These tend to overstate the actual wattage, are a lot less reliable and just aren't at the right level yet

Check out Fluence individual bars which are a lot more expensive than cheap led products, but worth it

WOW! Really? Jump to conclusions much?

Within that thread is the explanation of why the leafs got burnt. It had nothing to do with the light. Now, you would know that if you actually wanted to report facts. What's your agenda?

Final dry weight sans larf was 292gms from ~ 326w

Just letting dude know the cautions of asking for advice on a forum such as this.

If you're happy with the results from that grow that speaks for itself.

No. No you didn't. Not unless there was some scale fudgery such as stem left on and weighing before cure and this larf you said you got rid of... we must have greatly differing opinions on what larf is.

I was wondering when the Amare shills would be in... lmao

I use cobs, but don't mention which ones, except in my journal. I don't have to mention them or ram them down people throats, I pay for my panels. You will get the odd shill here and there that get free leds, foot massages and back rubs, in exchange for journals lol

Don't give too much weight to Amazon reviews. I have two Galaxy Hydro brand box LESs. Both are '300 watt 9 band' (pink light). Galaxy Hydro is Mars competition. The light saying 300 watts is bull$hit. I'd guess its around 100watts. Excellent Amazon reviews for a suck a$$ light.

They'll grow plants but you have to keep the light close. It's not something to let the plants grow up into the light. You need to follow the plants with the light. Lowering it to 12-24" range and keeping the distance as they grow.

If a cheaper box LED says 600 watts. They're lying. It's probably in the 250watt level.

Amare shills? Show me where I mentioned Amare, though they are excellent too.

I did not mention AT as, they don't have a bar to fit his space, although they do have small panels (100/150)

AND, unless you can prove your accusation of me getting free lights (most likely you simply believed another asshole with an agenda) then STFU

Yep Amare shill, that's right dude! You amare boys have quite the rep on here for ramming the amare panels down people throats... lol You ain't quite in the same league as smoksara and mars, but still, the ethos of taking part is more important than winning ey! :lol:

Notice you didn't deny the foot massages and back rubs! :lol:

I always get accused of the same thing man... It's all part of growing with pre made panels!

Just a bit of fun, though I'll add I'm not a shill myself... I actually got accused by a member here a few days ago. We were able to put our differences aside though... Once he realised I wasn't a shill..bongsmilie

All part of growing with pre made panels I'm afraid (:

No, it's all about assholes like you making unfounded accusations with no thought of the unintended consequences

Yeah mate, that's what it's all about...!

Anyway, I'm sure the op, plus the other readers get the point... Look into it yourself. Whatever light you get, look into it yourself and don't let any shills from mars and other companies distract you!

Find journals of people that use them and look at their buds! Check the plants didn't get deficient in veg due to light. Checks the lights are Not too strong for the plants. That's the best advice!

Anyway, don't forget to stop in and look at the Amare website. Sponsors here at the forum too. I'll say it for you buddy! Take to pressure off you this time! lol

What kinda COBs you using and how many?

Just curious. I'm running 3 vero's, 2 are early gen. one is a gen 7 that just got replaced. I got 6 3k eb strips as well. at 8 watts a piece.

I'm not even 100% what wattage my cobs are running at but I am pretty sure it's around 50 per cob. getting out the multi meter and figuring some things out is on the agenda for the weekend :)

Think I pulled about 5-7 , I don't weigh, last go 12/12fs on 6plants in 1.5's not stellar numbers... but it's k for a small time closet grow. The last grow didn't have the EB's.
