Hi people i've been lurking long enough now time to ask specifics. For a UK tent 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m using soil, photo, where LED's are a must! Which of the following should I get - budmaster 675xg clever grow intelligent sb-360watt viapr b3x4 5watt Any advice will be appreciated thanks in advance.
Honestly the 'Budmaster 675xg' is an ok light but is still extremely overpriced for a 380w light that can barely outperform a 600w HID! I would look into Amare technologies white light HiLED panels, you can do a quick .com search to come across their website. For your tent I would recommend looking into either their SolarSPEC-260w panel or two SolarSPEC-150w panels to better combat the inverse square law. I am currently using two 260w units in a 4x4 flower area & so far, with plants half the size of my last run they have already completely blown me away & outperformed my previous runs utilizing a 600w HPS.
I agree the Budmaster's are overpriced. What a shame, I'd love the Osram panel. I have various panels in my set-up. Plant photonics, Han's panels and an RapidLED Onyx bloom pane. The Onyx is my favorite. I have used Vipar a few years ago. Only buy the B versions. The rest aren't very good. You want the ones with Bridgelux LED's that also have white (3000k) in the spectrum.
