Samsung chips are best on market from what I’ve seen… I’d look around for those led chips on the board… I believe Mars uses epistar

… Honestly bro I’d buy no where else besides growershouse.com… they sell only quality grower tested products… And Nate is currently testing individual lights they sell through a testing company… Badass stuff… When it comed to lighting compare and research before a buy… I made that mistake when buying LED my first time

I was going with spiderfarmer too but I ended up with HLG because there are great friends on GN… People posted thoughts about that overall a good light… Seriously dude I’m not an affiliate or anything but shop growershouse… I know Amazon prime is the shit for delivery but they don’t sell anything a master grower wouldn’t use

Look at spectrums and wattage etc.
Looked at hlg setups done a ton of research makes my head spin they all produce different specs and outputs lol but i know my hps got 3 so at this point its about savings

I hear you bro made my head spin too LoL but ultimately we are more educated now

I recently switched from mh/hps to cmh/led and its been amazing yields improved quality improved electric bill went down way easier to keep cool just brought my grow next level my wife and i have a 3 tent perpetual grow 2 8x4 tents and 1 4x4 was the best investment ive made so far

I agree here 1000% i want to try cmh. I grow badass clones and small plants with 41 watts. Led t5 full spec. Then i use v2 far red qauntum boards to flower. I tested a 1000 watt Hps and a led 460 watt and they made the exact same buds no difference. Except money, heat and size. I use all my lights. But i favor t5 and QB. I just build my own now. For about $1 a watt i can make stupid bright lights. Im currently testing a full spec Led light build of my own from veg to flower. Its killing it so far my favorite light. Cost me about $885 to build. I can run 5 tents 7 lights 6 fans 2 ozone generators 1 heat mat 1 humidifier 1 turbo cloner 3 fan controllers for…$171 a month! Boom. Saving the bucks banging out sick weed. Yep what fun were having

I use the smaller ts600w, I bought 2 of them since they were only $80 each. About to buy 2 more. Im loving them in my 4x4, I was using HPS and switched over due to electrical being higher and trying to save money. With doors closed the temp goes up about 5°-7° whereas my hps would go up like 12°-14°.
