American made, quality product, good customer service. They used to make some REALLY sweet and inexpensive kits that don't have all the whistles and bells but they are nice.

I saw that. It was just an example. There are many lights on their homepage that would fit your needs. They have a regular light similar to the one I linked that can be used for both veg and flower. I use two Spider Farmer SF2000s in my 3x5 and a Mars Hydro SP3000 in my veg tent so I have used several different brands. I have gotten the best results from the HLG lights I have, of which I have 4.

That's on my shopping list for my 3x5. It would cook up some nasty grass in a 2x4. You would probably want to dim it a bit.

I am a true believer in the air pots. I just finished a run in my 4x4 with airpots and the difference in growth between that tent and my 3x5 with standard planters was like day and night.

I must try to do a side by side some time because theyre expensive ashell but if they really make that big of a difference its a greath investment

But i find it a little hard to transplant because the rootball doesn’t hit the sides that much

I have 6 of the knock offs that worked great. Got 6 for $40. I am probably gonna get another dozen so I have them for all my pots.

The HLG would be the creme de la crème out of the spider or mars. Customer service and American made are hard to beat. I have a VIVOSUN vs3000 which is a 300 watt with Samsung diodes, it might be a bit too much for my 4x2 I’m running it at 60% and it’s all the way up. But my 4x2 is only 5ft tall. Happy hunting.

Planters I use came with mesh bag inserts that are supposed to air prune the roots just like the air pots, I'm wanting to do a side by side of the planters I have vs the air pots to see if one air prunes better then the other. Maybe I'll do side x side x side...standard planters x air pruning pots x mesh bag insert air pruning pots.

Wow kind had nothing like this back when I was looking at them, I ran some KingLED 1500’s for a bit they had similar options but nothing flat panel or bar style at the time,

I’d defenitly check one of those out for that price!
