I as thinking if I bought a 600w I would not grow four plants under it that I would reduce them by half, and then add another light down the road after my first grow etcI run the Viparspectra PAR 700 in a 2x4 tent with two plants, and recently added a low end Viparspectra $80 blurple for one end. I am unfamiliar with the rest, but I know the 600 will not be nearly enough for a tent that size. For a similar cost you could easily buy a 315w cmh kit that would work much better.
Perfect. I just see veg only photos from these lights. I think my expectations are set quite low and I’d rather set everything else up properly because up scaling it isn’t expensive for rent size and everything else so if I really enjoy the venture into home growing indoors, because I will certainly be growing outdoors this summer I can upgrade my light fixture after that.I as thinking if I bought a 600w I would not grow four plants under it that I would reduce them by half, and then add another light down the road after my first grow etc
Yeah, I think it’s $8/month for me to run the 1800w but it only draws 300 actual. But for the price I could buy two of those to the one Viparspectra, and they’re using Cree cobs in the unit itself there’s just not much info on people using them etc compared to the more popular garbage ledsI've said it alot here lately but even though I'm currently using LEDs and I wouldnt trade mine for DE hps setups, I would consider a de hps or cmh before the options you listed.
There are a few people with the viparspectras that have shared some pretty bloom shots so only because of that If i had to pick between the 3 that would be my vote.
But you're in Canada and I heard your electricity is pretty cheap so maybe shoot for the stars and see how that 1800 watt sucker does lol

You get what you pay for
I went with 2x 600W Viparspectras. So far they're doing great.Or a 100-200w cob each plant, the beauty of multiple fixtures is that of one goes you have others and you can move them to smaller tents or veg with them if you downgrade. I used to run 2 600w hps in my 8x4 and that was heaps but if you are set on leds and on a smaller scale the vipars go well and much better build quality than other cheap burple manufacturers
For a low end LED that would have been my choice. It was that or I was gonna suggest one of the marshydro reflector series. You have a grow diary set up yet? If like to watch this light in action.I went with 2x 600W Viparspectras. So far they're doing great.
I do Not. I’ve been saving all of the logs on my computer just need to get it goingFor a low end LED that would have been my choice. It was that or I was gonna suggest one of the marshydro reflector series. You have a grow diary set up yet? If like to watch this light in action.
There was a point where I worried about that, but they really do have a ton of positive reviews on amazon and after speaking with them directly they respond very fast, very helpful. While it’s scary to think of a light catching fire mistakes happen. It could happen with almost anything.Forgot, a few years back, Vipar was busted for using a bogus ROHS label..Why; because they spelled it wrong, and it was uncovered when the light caught FIRE!
