    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    They pay to run adds... they DONT pay for the opinion of the writers. HighTimes tries to appeal to a BROAD audience... the diy community is not broad. So they didnt even include diy's in their list of leds they reviewed. I dont care for this policy, but the fact remains - Timbers leds WERE...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    IM NOT SAYING THEY ARE THE BEST LIGHTS!!! Open your eyes and read what i said. I said, "they are rated as the top- or near the top- led lights, by many different people..". I I did not say that I agree. I KNOW that a diy light can be better - for less $. But the fact remains - look it up. You...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    No... it is NOT, you damn fool! Take 5 mins and research the top rated leds - HIGH TIMES THEMSELVES have rated blackdog & kind as top led lights. You are talking out of your ass - educate yourself! I am telling you FACT. They ARE highly rated lights. If you disagree - you prove your ignorance -...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    Rapid led kits come with WHATEVER YOU WANT THEM TO CONE WITH. Theit options listed on their website are starting points. They will help u construct what you want/need... why the hard on against rapidled? I assumed their awesomeness was common knowledge... but apparently, Timber has their lackeys...

    Also... arent you the one who was loudly saying how WEAK & TERRIBLE quantum boards would turn out to be? Last year, yes? Wasnt it you who talked non-stop smack when Robin from hlg shared the board's #'s? Calling it bs, "...no way 3watt diodes will have the intensity... blah, blah, blah" If not...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    When you factor in; 1) Not having to replace bulbs, not having to buy replacement after replacement saves a LOT of money long term. 2) Electricity savings - same/more PAR wattage for much less electricity. 3) The lights LAST. We're talking years and years- with little to no degradation of light...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    Im talking about among their class of lights - yes they are consistently rated at the top. But theyre ridiculously expensive. Search for 3 mins - theres plenty of ppl pulling huge yields with them... if you dont mind paying $1500-$2000

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    I dont care WHO agrees with me... Anyone who disagrees & says that Blackdog & Kind LEDs are NOT badass lights, are either uninformed fools, speaking on something they know nothing of, or they have an agenda, an ulterior motive. Blackdog & Kind are ROUTINELY hailed as the best/among the best, LED...

    how many watts do you veg under?

    Question for those using the HLG QB288 for complete life cycle, seedling to harvest lighting... What is everybody doing when transitioning between seedling, veg, flowering strains, wattage/light-height wise? The 2 main styles: 1.) Set light at a given height & leave it, only changing the...

    how many watts do you veg under?

    Just wondering... why would u want plants to veg slower? As in, why not always veg them as fast as they can grow? I get vegging for 2 weeks or 4 weeks or 8weeks, etc, to control size, height, yield... but Ive always strived to get as much growth as possible, as quickly as possible, by using...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    Yah, true there. I picked up a small, used tap & die set at a pawn shop for ~$10, & a center punch for a few bucks more. Mark where you need the holes, hit your mark with the center punch, the resulting dent will draw the drill bit in & help keep it from jumping across the surface of the...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    I agree... I knew NOTHING of assembling LED's or even what components matched with what. By researching & increasing my knowledge on sites like this, I learned how to match up led components & how to assemble then. Even more helpful for the assembly aspect, are the HLG Quantum Board Review...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    Imo... Id rather have a veg tent using 4000k qb288's & a flowering tent using 3000k 288's & a far right initiator (like $25-$30). That way youre giving each set of plants get the light they want most. Plus, as an added benefit, you can toss a couple autos in the corner of your veg tent (they...

    Best LED for 3x3 flowering

    Id rather pay ~$165 to gather the components for a 135watt (can hit up to ~159w) HLG qb288, or even buy a kit for $185 if stock is an issue. You could get ~540-600watts for ~$660 - and theyre SUPER easy to assemble. These boards are no joke. PERFECT for a tent set-up, they run very cool & can be...
