Yea 2 cheapo 300w chinese specials. My Kill-a-watt says 124w at the wall each. Those are tiny 1/2 gal pots, was testing to see how small is to small in coco. Probably do 2 gal here on out. I don't mind testing different ideas on auto's because I only grow them for quick bud.
Yea that light will outperform that Vipar at only 90 watts. Pretty much the same price to.
I'm honestly tempted to hit him up that a pretty good deal. Do you know why this one is not dimmable?
Know that if the Mars hydro somehow got lucky an banged a super model, this light would be the child.
I'd have to look at ballast but some don't come with a dimmer knob built in. Some have the option to wire dimmer in seperate. That guy also builds 2x288 v2's @ 185w for $225. He only builds one or 2 at a time so you have to wait or contact him.
Strips vs QBs, thoughts?
Qbs and strips are the best 2 LEDs on the market by a huge margin. Both are made by Samsung. Strips seem to be better for coverage from what I've been reading but I'm looking for more opinions. The QBs v2 is pretty new an so they may have passed the strips but like I say, I dont know
OP could put together one of these:
What's your thought on the ebay link posted above? I'm honestly tempted
It is, it just doesn't have the dimmer pot included.
With the power supply I suggested, about 220W at the wall. With the units in my pic its about 330W.
Not a bad little build - you'd be hard pressed to make one like it for under $100 without any volume discounts.
This is your very first post so imma say..... horrible advise from a likely sales rep of said light. But I'll look at it so I can talk the right shit or admit I'm wrong in a few min.
I'm sorry you think I'm THAT new to this... this is a off brand clone of the viperspectra right? Please dude. Please dont recommend a burple light. They are trash. Without exception, all burples are trash.
