I just recently moved to the desert and wanna start growing again but with the temp change I know I can't use hps as it can get up to 128° where I now live so my question is what's the best AMERICAN MADE cob or led lights thanks in advance
Do you have a budget? Chip on board (COB) lights in my opinion are a little more expensive than quantum board LED grow lights, but you’ll get great results with both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
$1,200 for a light!? Holy crap. If I had $1,200, I would buy a quantum board in 5000k specifically for vegging, and then for flowering I’d build a custom grow light with an HLG 260 watt quantum board light (304 board) in 3000k in the middle surrounded by 4 CREE COB lights on the outside to really get some good lighting to the outside edges and corners of your grow space. You can do a LOT with $1,200. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
L yea I have a big budget but I'm not good with diy cuz I have no experience with led at all I used hps all my other grows but with my temps used to being around 115 I can't used hps as I know I'ma have heat problems
You can purchase QB lights and COB lights ready to go out of the box. I can recommend a few lights as I’m sure others can and probably will as well. Could you tell us a little bit about the size of space you’re working with? Do you plan on growing inside of a tent or do you have an entire room dedicated for growing? Do you know how many plants you want to grow at one time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I got $1200 of lights just in my closet. They are running a little hot this summer. Watts produce heat so there is no free lunch. Some just stick with hps because they can be air cooled. I have leds and I really need to control the ambient temp. Talk to tbone ( a grasscity poster) he will fix you up with a quantum board. I'm looking for him also, I need him to point me to a 2x4 setup that runs a little cooler.
You know that Samsung leads the way. You can put the stuff together in whichever country, but its the Japanese and Koreans that make the core product.
LED Grow Lights Here's the link he gave, these guys will put them together (much to his DIY chagrin) for $35. If I get one that's what I'll do. I can't even operate a screwdriver.
His username is TBoneShuffle. He was also the one who helped me purchase the right quantum board lightfor my setup. He is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
