im looking for a blurple panel to add to my cree cxa set up. wanna give the plants more a "full" spectrum..
i dont wanna go over 200 bucks and i want something at least half decently made.. hopefully 10,000ish lumens.

yes i know build it yourself.. been there done that have my cxa lights and there great. but i want a pre made panel with some kind of warranty.. the best thing ive come up with so far seems to be a mars panel.. i would prefer a cob set up but you know.. and yes i know the new area 51 panel is under 200 but even though the website says it ships to Canada i can not get the website to allow me past the cart unless i use a US shipping address.. also its not blurple.

the light ive been able to find so far is the mars hydro reflector 96
https://www.mars-hydro.com/Home-Gardening-LED-Grow-Lights-Relfector-96.aspx

would like your guys input and possibly some better suggestions as to what i can put my 200 bucks towards. or maybe anyone have experience with that light?

Don't buy it, even the higher end blurple lights that I've seen cost way more than they are worth. Save up for a photon from northern grow lights or use HID.

even to supplement the same wattage cxas? i already own 2 cxa3070's and they run at 100w's each.. just want to see if i get better results adding blurple. or would it be better to just add more white? maybe something like 6000K to compliment my 3000K chips?..

also does someone make a Blurple cob panel. or a blurple chip i could directly replace with my 3070's?

where in the shit did you get that strain?.. ive been looking hard..and no i don't live in the states so clones probably wouldn't make the border..

starting to think maybe i should save up for another cob.. or just go against all advice say fuck it and get the cheap asian shit panel.

i have seen more than a few grows with a mars alone and it seems to have good results if you keep the plants close to the light. my problem is with the quality. lots of people posting board failures and shit customer service.. though if you complain in certain forums they try to protect their ass and send you a new panel.

i think just for experiment ill get the panel and save up some cash for another bigger CXA set up later..

anything is better than paying 260 bucks an oz for meh buds from some 15 year old..lol

Yeah I hear you. It's not worth your money is all I'm saying. You can do what you like, just not wise. HPS is better than the Mars all day and you can keep it close in a hood

Even good blurples like my LumiGrows have gone into dead storage. I might use them later for blue or red supplemental but I doubt it.

5000k top bins and multiple red supplementation would be sick.. It would offset any inefficiency and still be pushing 70% according to the calculator
