  2. Punctuation is a plus. You'll do fine with the HID lamps, LED is still improving and the costs are down and someday maybe I'll go there but for now I don't see any reason for changing over. You may have trouble with temps growing in the attic but I don't know your situation. If your budget is $500 you'll do fine.
     
  3. Thanks what do you think I should buy and from where for Max yeild
     
  4. Beats me, friend. I haven't shopped for new equipment in years.
     
  5. If you use hid you will also need to spend a good bit of your budget on cooling fans etc. Check out this product line they are outperforming hid in every way

    ALL

  6. What is your ambient temperature and humidity, in the space you are thinking of using, take those into consideration when preparing a garden, I grew in an attic a couple of years ago, using sodiums. In the summer time heat was a massive problem.
    If I was using LEDs, I would have saved a fortune on exhausting that heat.
    On the flip side, in winter ( in an attic ) you need sodium or equivalent to keep the heat up.
    Decent LEDs are also quite expensive, but in the long run they are worth it.

  7. I can't afford high end ones right now what I need is some thing ok decent I think to veg with to give me the time to co-op cash for flowering it just I get clones TD so no choice
     
  8. And then be ready for next crop I think I will use room
     
  9. Best bang for the buck Is the horticulture light group led lights .
    They sale the Samsung quantum boards
    The price is about a buck per actual watt if you assembling the lights yourself
    The Samsung led lights are 24 to 28 watts per square foot

    The Mars and other blurple led lights sold on e bay and Amazon are 48 watts per square foot of grow space and use twice to 3 times the energy the Samsung lights use and the plants seem to like the Samsung light better then the purple light.
    Personally I think the Samsung led lights are the best grow lighting system on the market.
