I need LED help

[vtim802]

I need suggestions on the best Led i can afford and for my space and asap. also need suggestions what to do about returning the ine i have now, i have 3 plants at day 19, can i put them under 2 t5s and keep them alive while this one gets sent back or am i fucked and just scrap the grow. budget is about 6-700, 500 would be ideal, 400 only if its worth it. im getting a hid for the winter i need a led for the time being and want one that will last for next summers hot season as well.

Take the genuine quantum board... 3k is fine for both flower and veg.

Post in the led forum, 2$+ per watt of led seems pricey. Im not up on the quantum board tech. Rapid led has growmau's shit now, i highly recommend his kits and cobs if you are going led. Anything prebuilt you are paying a premium for, anything that doesn't say the exact leds and bins they came from i would be suspect they are cheaper leds.

buy this and save yourself $200 for the same thing

If you need csa/ul listing for your card, the hlg 300 is a very good option in 3k(for full cycle). If this is the case email the company and they should get that listing this week. If not the growers choice kit is great too, just isn't certified for insurance reasons. It's still safe though.

All four of these companies are Stellar in this field and all have great customer service.

As for your question, day 19 flower?

 

[vtim802]

Unless you buy the same LEDs or strips of the same stuff from an OFFICAL DISTRIBUTOR and make your own... get the HLG boards...

Every Chinese piece of crap boasts about being the best... they all suck arse.

 

[vtim802]

whoch kelvin should i get for full use (veg thru flowering) ? 3000?

 

[vtim802]

yeah and im seeing the chinese scumbags have stup troll sites touting their led as “the best” bunch of bullshit, just loke all the chinese weed on the east coast USA. the russians trolled the election, chinese troll grow lights go figure lmao

 

[vtim802]

im confused though, which quantum board do i get on this ? qb288 v1, qb288 v2 or qb 304 ? whats the difference? and i pick 3000k for full cycle growing correct?

 

[vtim802]

im going to just keep this led in my tent, so go with the slightly more efficient qb304s if im not going to make my light any bigger right?

 

[vtim802]

going to get the 3000k qb288 v2 hlg do it yourself 260, thanks awesome suggestion, im sure this one will be the one, been a long and miserable first grow led journey thats for sure lmao

 

[vtim802]

its odered im praying this is the last led i have to get for a while....
