Definitely something I will be considering in future upgrades. Unfortunately not in the budget for my little start up. But their site had me drooling a little lol. I'm just doing what you would call a low budget start up for my project to be sure it is something one I will love doing and two that I will actually be able to do and not screw it up lol. Thanks for the info @PhatNuggz I really appreciate it.Do your homework
Begin with Heliospectra page title The Forgotten Spectrum
Quality lights cost more because they do more. typically the additional cost is made up in the very first grow.
@indicabush the wife pulled the chains and limited me to $1000.00 total for my start up. Yeah I know it's a very small budget once you start figuring out all the things needed but it does keep me from spending 5,000 or 10,000 and discover that it's not for me. But she gave the green light for a small start up and then upgrades once I know it's something I can do and love doing.What's your maximum budget?
Wasn't planning on using a tent. I have 2 spaces in my basement to grow into. One space is 8'×12'×6' in height which is where I'm planning on starting my hobby. Then expanding into the other space if all goes well.For that budget u could probably get a 2x4 tent,can fan and filter, and 2 300watt marshydro LEDs ..with all that I think u would be off to a great start with some decent genetics and after first run upgrade lights if u feel the need..good luck man

I will check them out thanks.I did not mean to buy them as they are very expensive. I have been using Amare Technologies for 2 years now. They are reasonably priced. Take a look at them, and my grow threads
I will do some more looking into the hid lights.LEDS imo are a complete waste of money. First grow just get a hid and buy a inline fan and set up an exhaust system. The light intensity just isn't there to flower imo you can veg I do but flowering is a different story. You can pull cool are from your basement or from outside at night during the summer. Good luck if you didn't have a budget then sure you could buy 10 panels and make it work. The foot print leds is about as big as the panel and a near 0 light penetration.
I have been back and forth on the whole lighting I want to use and decided led for my start up. Somehow convinced the wife to up my starting budget so I have 2000.00 to get this all set up with now. That is to cover everything from seeds to lig hy s and ventilation etc. What I'm looking to do is start with 12 plants so now I'm just trying to figure out how much lighting I would need to do this. Thanks everyone so far on all the help and tips I really appreciate it.Wife will not be very happy with electric bill utilizing HPS or HID, there are a lot of great grows right here on the farm utilizing LED's. Nothing against HPS or HID's they're just not for everybody on a budget. I frankly run 2 Illumitex LED's constantly and my monthly electric bill is $41 a month (apt. life).
With LED's you get what you pay for.
