Totally read that as HID instead of HLG lol. I'm sure HLG is leaps and bounds better but the cheapest DIY kit was $450 on their website. $150 trumps $450 all day everyday for me haha
Its just a matter of when you pay that changes...
The HLG and other Samsung based lights will use a 3rd less power to excite the same number of photons than the Epistar based Mars lights..
I really do appreciate all the responses and advice given so far. If I had it my way I would have the best of the best with multiple rooms dedicated to growing. Sadly I only have a closet for raising the girls.
Well again, I appreciate the advice. Were I in a better financial position I would go with something better quality, bigger tent, and branded seeds instead of bagseed. Maybe with the money I'll save harvesting my own I can realocate to better equipment
