I have a 5'x5' room with $1300 to spend on lights, i wont the best light to get the most plants i can in that space. Been looking at g8leds and platinum series leds.. Helppp!!
With 5x5 if I was you id get 2 600w gavitas for $388 shipped per light. A portable 8,000 btu a/c for $279 @home depot. A carbon filter and rock it out. Leds are cooler good spectrum but still wont pull that gavita yield. @Amwar420
One six hundred watt ballast, bulb, and socket. Hung in the middle of your room, vertically. About $200
One perfectly small air conditioner. About$100
One decent co2 controller, bottle, and regulator. About $400
Set your dials to the temps , and ppms of your choice. A decent medium, some love and...
Your payback for keeping it simple...
PRICELESS...
Im on a $1300 budget for light and im going with leds, would the Kind 600wled be Best or shoud i get the P1200w, im just really looking for the best led for my 5'x5' scrog area
If it just has to be led biggest longest would be best. But seriously if I was you id get some ceramic metal halides or gavita. Leds have nice resin and dense nugs. But just dont pull that yield. For $800 and only 600 watts you could get two ceramic metal halides thats 315w a piece perfect spectrum and run cool. 1300 on an led is not only too expensive but too expensive for the yield you wont get. But if you must get the p1200 so if youre not satisfied you can get a refund after using it for 90 days. How do I kno? Been there done that. $1300 for one light is crazy when you can buy better lights a $100 window unit ac dirt and a pack or two of fire genetics for that price. I dont care how much companies hype you up its a reason when you ask serious grower what they think about led they say "theyre awesome...in veg" I fell victim too luckily the company had a 90 day satisfaction guarantee wish I had a 1300 budget 4 600w gavitas would be on the way NOW. Ive seen 4 units pulled off 2 gavitas wit my own eyes
