First time 20 dollar grow

  1. It's not a 300w equivalent is it? Cuz in that case I believe it would only be 64 true watts...

    Sylvania 250w infrared heat lamp probably 9 inches from the plants with a good fan on them aswell

    yeah, but its about lumens, my led is only 368 watts and it replaces my 1000 watt hps....its about efficiency, lumens, and PAR. 
     
  4. Ah gotcha im just a newbie grower.. But hey that's why I asked! I just ordered a led ufo yesterday hopefully it does me good!

  5. what brand was it? The led's are a bit pricey, guess it has gone past a 20 dollar grow! good to ask, LED tech has come quite a ways anyways. Im a fan of the platinumLED, the p600 is awesome they are some of the most solid and tuned sets. you should check em out, I just got the new version that has the grey housing and the thing is a beast!

  6. I think it's just a ebay special. 90x3w diodes 2 year warranty 78$ over 900 5 star ratings and I talked to a guy using 2 of them so I figured I'd give it a try

  7. Read and researched more and I went ahead and threw the cfls back on. The heat lamp is a bad idea to grow with I guess because all it does is provide heat, if that makes sense or you know exactly why feel free to correct me
     
  8. I didnt think they were a good idea heard a lot of people say not to use heat lamps because they get way to hot.
     
  9. Moved entire setup into a "box". Stupidly knocked the plants over but they seem ok, will post pictures later
