I've been looking for almost a year. As long as they run cooler than hps or else I'll have to spend out the ass for a good led-grow-light Kevieboys family adventure grow
Much cooler than hps and more spectrum. Wayyyy Cheaper to run also. 10 Advantages of Growing Plants with Ceramic Metal Halide Grow Lights
I've got to try something. 90+° in my tent =no bueno. Leds are great but too expensive for a good light when on limited budget to get started and diy is out because I don't trust anyone I know to put 1 together for me. Kevieboys family adventure grow
It's really really really simple. You don't even need to solder anymore. Happy to help if you need any.
Parts alone would be more expensive than a pre built light. That's my only issue. If it could replace my 600w hps under $200-250 that works but from what I've seen parts for the light are about $300 not including the frame for the light. Kevieboys family adventure grow
I spent about 550$ to replace my 1k HPS with diy quantum led boards. Wasn't cheap but now my tent sits at about 74 light on. Fuller spectrum and with 4 boards my light spread is far superior
That would be awesome but that $550 would kill me. Being on s.s.i. fucking blows!! Kevieboys family adventure grow
Where are you in the world ? I built 2 x 250w cob bars. I used one of these RAD-A52317/1000 STONECOLD - Heatsink: extruded | TME - Electronic components and attached 5 citizen clu048 1212 cobs Then you need a hlg-240-c1400b meanwell driver. No frame needed and if you need to cool it you can add a small pc fan. 2 of those would be 500w
Check the hlg website I think their hlg 300 is not too bad . Maybe you would have to save a little more but they run cool af. Sent from my SM-J710F using Tapatalk
I have a single qb288 running at 135w . Great light I have 2 autos under it currently Sent from my SM-J710F using Tapatalk
I paid 225 for my 315 cmh and it came with a Phillips Argo full spectrum bulb. Self contained 110 no funky stuff hanging off the hood. All the parts are inside the hood. You can also run the bulbs that are like HPS they're 3100. I'm going to just add another one in my six by nine. Replace my 1k hps. Love not to have the crazy color bars Got mine at my local hydro. Alot of the boys on the somango thread are using them. Could always throw in a couple of LED bars to really have the best of both worlds. U did say u have a 4x4 tent? I believe 315 would be enough. I use that on my 4x4 no tent. Alot less heat. Buds grow crazy under hps. I was getting crowning where it was growing new tits on buds. Fluffy buds a lot. Maybe if I had a big room with tall ceiling instead of a nook like I'm using. I'm getting away with a humidifier and a fan. No crazy exhaust stuff. Oh and bulbs go like 2 years or more even Sent from my VK810 4G using Tapatalk
Hi everyone. Not been on in a while. How’s everyone’s yeild been with the 3 bears. My first 2 seeds popped but had a nute issue and they was really stunted.
Hey Sacha! Glad to see ya..... my 3bears started out great then I got lax and before I knew it had gotten air in the water lines drying them out then flooded them. This effectively burned the crap out of them - probably lost a week..... or 2..... I suppose it could be worse ((((knock on wood))))
