4 x 600W HPS would probably cost half.....

Ya I was looking at hps, but with future plans for expansion I think I'd like to invest in newer tech. Is it possible to make some DIY COBs? Or any other options? Also I've been wondering about good climate control systems, ones that hopefully won't break the bank.

Hey everyone, just recently got interested in growing and have a shed already built with a 4x16x8 area to work with.
Now, what I was planning to do was convert the shed into 3 or 4 sub-sections, making each room 4x4. I'd also like to eventually seperate two of those rooms into an individual flowering and veg room.
So I was wondering what would be my best option for lighting? I was originally looking at the timbergrowlights 4x4 COB with a mix of 3000k and maybe 4000k spectrum lights to start out with, for both veg and flowering. Where this light is $800, I was hoping for cheaper alternatives that can make use of this space.
Any input would be really appreciated, thanks.

Sound like you have a good base to setup I’d love to have 3 rooms, so I can harvest every month. I assuming you will need 3 lights at $800, $2400 on lighting that is some coin. I’m not a massively experienced grower but I have used hps/mh, led and lec and I will run lec from now on (just personal preference). But you can buy 3 lec light kits for the same price as one of those leds and yield the same or more, mine flowers 4x4 with ease (315w). My lec out performs my led. My led was $750 and lec was $300 and dim able (some people will say I’m crazy but everyone has a preference)
But having said all that If I was unsure and setting up multiple rooms I would try 2 lights, maybe a top of the range and a mid range. If the cheaper light is good get another one, if it’s no good buy another top of the range and keep the cheaper light for veg and bloom with the better lights happy growing

Awesome suggestions, thanks for the advice! I'll look more into the lec, mind linking me to the kits you used?

If each light is 800$ budget, i would recommend you go with the mars ii 900watt, each cost 303.99$ on their site;

I am here to talk 420 Vaping and Terps. I work with MrExtractor com (Connoisseur Concentrates) to catalogue every taste, smell and effect of terpenes. The company was the first and is the largest supplier of Organic Terpene Cannabis Profiles. I have a sub on another forum-site where I send free samples to get feedback on the afore.

Let me know if you think I should do the same here:)
