I haven't been on in a long time! Thanks for the suggestions, those all look really decent. Has anyone had any success using light movers with LED?

Growers have a love/hate relationship with light movers==== some get record GPW with them and others say quality/density reduction.......IDK, personally for veg use I see no issue using it
I have no experience with them Shwag
good luck

Hey guys I had a quick inquiry...
First of all, I want to say that I live in Canada, so making my own panel is almost out of the question for me at the moment even though I'd love to.
I have a 3x3 veg tent that recently swapped from HPS to LED (some average stuff) and I'm looking for good options for a 4x4 flowering tent. Money is a slight concern, but at the end of the day I don't want to sacrifice quality and peace of mind. I'm also open to the option of covering a smaller, say 3x4 area and then supplementing with cfls/ufos if you guys think I could still maintain a dense coverage. If someone could offer me a thorough opinion of what I could setup in a 4x4 flowering area to get the best bang for my buck, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Not sure what your budget is since you mentioned money is a slight concern. Flowering out a 4x4 with LEDs is a bit pricey.Hey guys I had a quick inquiry...

Sorry man. We are working on it. Canada is a big goal. The new bars, and everything after them should be good to go in canada.I was very interested and fully sold on the pacific light concepts one...
Had it in checkout and then realized they don't ship to Canada
I was especially ready to buy since it's on a 4/20 sale
Puff is right as usual...BML/Fluence makes good units, and at their new price is a very good value on the spydr line. The vipr seems the most interesting to me, but limited info/use of them yet.

IMHO for the first year, fuck it: it does not matter what you use mars/whatever. most people quit or continue at that mark. good or bad runs, if your still growing after a year, its something you will do for life.
look at this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/how-much-longer-till-harvest.905382/
you absolutely don't need, tip-top gear to enjoy growing. but if your aspirations are to grow on a more then personal level, you cant skimp on anything.

I own 5 Mars units and only use them for veg now. They can't compete with HPS for flower.
Interestingly though, i have just started using the 700w Mars inbetween my two 600w HPS during flower, and actually it does seem to help....but i wouldn't flower with the Mars units on their own.

Hey guys I was reading in some grow logs (http://rollitup.org/t/led-closet-grow-with-auto-og-and-six-shooter.905831/#post-12508605) came across his YouTube and website. http://www.growpotcheaply.com/#!perfect-sun-1000/e9su1
Been watching his channel seems like hes a decent grower, but wanted your thoughts on the light, or if any ones used it ect.

that's darn near apache price range, might as well save and get a proven light platform. one of the guys here said, there are so many on the LED hype train, tons of companies from everywhere. you don't know what your getting. if I was going single LEDs, I think I would pass on this one, its still using the pinkish light. Get white LED apache: we know what's in them and they are proven in its segment.

I ended up going with an Amare 450. For the cob lights and the multi spec for the colors as well as the uvb. But I ran across that log was wondering what people thought. His youtubes pretty good, but not really much info I am seeing listed on the web site. Video goes on about some very strong readings so was wondering if any one seen it before.

I have seen, the same 450 lit up in a 5x5, upgraded from 2 600 mars. his PQ last run was definitely improved in both yield/and jar appeal. their single LED units where not bad, but not stand out either. they have sort of a checked past, I think they have changed management at some point.
really interested on your data on this product. please.
Hi everyone... if you could please help.... my space is 2x3 ( 6 ft) i will buy 4 CXB3590 36v 3500k with 4 LPC-60-1400 , is that good enough for my space? , its a good idea to get at least 1 CXB3590 5000k for veg ( 5 in total)?, at the moment i use a 400w HPS but i get 0.6 grs/w...
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

I would think so, fo sho. I'm planning to use 3500k for mine.
Thanks a lot Sooled, what do you think about the 5000k is it necesary with 4 cxb3590 3500k, some post are old before the cxb3590 3500k, and they add the 5000k for siblings and veg , but most new post are just CXB3590 3000k or 3500k , but they dont add the 5000k.. will make a diference or not really? have not found that info yet... thanks
