Dude buy WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU LIKE no matter the cost and don't listen to anyone on this website. You will get 20 different answers for 20 different lights.

Quantum boards, strips, cobs and bar lights. Get what makes you happy no matter if it costs $200 or $2000. In the end you learn as you go and your choices will change depending on what you learn during your grow.

This thread will soon turn into a sarcasm match and you will get a lot of misinformation. Good luck dealing with it :eyesmoke:

Isn’t that the whole point of a forum to get different opinions?

I knew I was opening a can of worms but just skim through the shite and read the useful info.

That’s my knowledge of forums haha

"Interested in the Gavitas, can someone point me in the right direction? I run a 600hps in a 4x4, tried dual 400's but was a bit hot. Want even coverage is all I ask."

No other fixture on the market gives you the spread that the gavita does......do yourself a favor, do a google search for "sshz and Orange Gasm" which is my thread on another site with over 42,000 views and growing about 1,000 views a month. It was my first grow under LED's, I got over 106 oz in a 4 X 8 space under two of them. There's a ton of info in the thread by many people, but results speak louder than words.

Thanks. I will definitely be looking through that. That sounds insane. 9lbs in a 4x8, correct?

As someone with HiD background, where do I start to look at LED's? So much misinformation I'm not sure where to even look. 1000$ is a lot to invest in false promise, where I know HiD provides great results at a fraction of the overhead. Not bashing LED but just wondering where to get the right information to get myself on the right path.

Interesting chart. I was going what the... reading the $1600 they say it costs to run a 600 watt HPS. Then I saw that they're basing it off extremely high electricity costs of 0.17¢ per Kw. I pay 1/4 of that running off peak hours. Good for comparison as long as you adjust for actual electricity costs.

Thats UK rate :/ in fact it’s more like 20c an hr!

Yikes!



I have a time of use pricing plan and run my lights at night during off-peak hours.

Off-peak4.128 ¢ per kWh

We also have a time of use plan but pay much more than that during off-peak. I'm almost jealous. I could put in 3 or 4 times the lighting without killing the electric bill.

Yeah because I feel pretty proud just to pull 48 ounces from a 5X5 now and then. Of course that was using just dollar store and walmart regular household LED bulbs though, so I honestly don't know. I recently "upgraded" to four 240W LM301H-based quantum boards, but they don't have the same flexibility and coverage. I may get similar results but end up spending a bit more on electricity with them.
 
@Hashishh I wasn't kidding though: https://www.rollitup.org/t/my-budget-5x5-setup.982183/

I don't usually joke on here unless I put an "LOL" or "/s" in there somewhere to let people know I'm not serious. It should make you think though when a person can outgrow many folks (not all) who use expensive HLG lights compared with freakin' dollar store and Walmart light bulbs with less operating costs and initial investment (about $300 maybe to light a 5X5 in Canadian dollars).
