Since I started my first grow I have come to realise that the LEDs I have brought may be pretty crap, I have one super skunk with about eight days of flower to go, small tent, 120x80, in biobizz all mix, using biobizz grow and also bloom, I have two of these lights at an angle either side and rotate the plant, top buds are going brown but lower ones are half the size, I understand that I can crop the top first, point is and I apologise, are these lights that bad ?, Looks like I would need to spend 250 plus for the best ?

That plant has weeks to go not 8 days

Lights are about the best investment you can make, that and good seed genetics

Check out kingbright or mejiu on Alibaba lots of people use them here including myself, I'm sure there's others.

Dirtydonk · Jun 10, 2021

I'm mobile atm I'll post a link when I home (1hr) it's on my ipad.
They're highly rated lights but I'd recommend you look into some other options I'm no led expert.
Mejui or mejiu is another company that basically does the same spec it worth checking out their prices.

If you’ve got roughly 8 days left, then my current crop should have been done like three weeks ago.

You’ve got several weeks to go before a proper chop date.

Thanks for the link, but geez, they are not doing themselves any favours by that website layout.. Well worth looking into. Thanks again mate.. I like the idea of buying direct from China, as I do a lot of that for my own unrelated business, and my wife being Chinese, helps with the translations and .. yeah, the cost.

Ali express isn't a lighting website as such, they are only a hub for thousands of vendors for thousands even millions of items.

Reading between the lines it's a eBay type thing for bulk buying.

I’m not going to bullshit you you’re looking at 7-8 weeks before that is even remotely done. that looks like my plants at week 3 Of flower.

PizzaMan5000 · Jun 11, 2021

They don't get any cheaper, but I run my lights 3-10" from the colas. I tested them with an apogee meter, was like 2,100par at 3" like 1,400 at 10" iirc.

These are "360w" but actually draw like 80w with a fan.
Pictures are week 5 from 12/12 flip.

Dirtydonk · Jun 11, 2021

Thanks for posting the link, my timing was based on 45 to 50 days in bloom, seems my lights are holding it back, and thanks every one for your comments, I will invest in some better lights,

DrOgkush · Jun 11, 2021

50 days of bloom?! Way to early!!!!!!!

Dirtydonk · Jun 14, 2021

I'm sure your all right and shes not ready but for super skunk feminised i keep reading about time scales such as this, "Super Skunk Feminized has a relatively short flowering period of 50 days maximum"

I think I know but.....
