HLG 65-100 would be perfect and you can add on if needed. If you buy the dimmer you can make it your all cycle meaning not having to have differnet lights for your “1st stage” for seedlings/clones and starting stage, than dimm it up when they need and want it. I own 8 of them for my 1st stage (65 version ) and love em, I can even mount em to shelfs levels and have a perfect cloning and 1st stage and just dimm em when needed np with perfect spectrum vs so many brands will put spectrum that’s a negative towards that stage like uva or too strong of light ppfd.


great efficiency % and if I wasn’t doing shelf cloning I would even suggest cob vero 29 singles from timber (super durable and daisy chainable )

The timber cobs would be my first choice if I could afford them.
 
Look around you can do better then Mars..
there has to be yr end sales...

2 of the hlg would be better than Mars for the same money..or less..

You like the cob idea, start with 1 and make a goal to get a 2nd in 4 moths or something..
I'm biting my lip...lol
Much appreciated. I was doing just that. I have my eyes set on a couple spider farmer quantum boards and it would be amazing if I can manipulate the spread of light to narrow a bit. A whole new element opens up?

if qb I would get budget led ( USA made ) or HLG, or timber for cob’s (vero 29)


i looked at spider but watching reviews and also the performance vs hlg or budget. it’s not worth the differance on price for China supported and they can lie about their light efficiency all they want being its not mandatory if you aren’t a commerical or etl or any of that certs or just lie on;one cause no one can stop em.

I want a light to not lose its efficiency quick and be a good light for along time, not be a temp replacement . Lights is such a major part of your garden, I would def count that as a top 5 thing i would focus your cash on.

I just read a poorly worded review about them but it stated just that. I hear samsung diodes are something to look for so it's in my list but I don't know what's going to be good at all.

I did notice a lot of people addmitting to this but The way Mars and spider and misc cheaper rated Led’s and similar get away with ”good reviews “ is they give away free lights and ask for you to ”review it’ , not like they want you to be honest and do a long term testing. They love the people who it’s their first light or review it on day 1 and say how amazing it is. Cheap advertisement eh

Spider Farm ask me to run there light's. 6 months ago or so...
Now I'm not saying there lights are junk... because there's people using them and doing good with them.
One drop is one of the people on the farm that got a light to test, and is still d6the test..
Me I didn't want to be involved with the brand, for the money..again you can do better....

Anyways if you don't want to buy China and Kb. With Vicky and it's really the Best Bang for the buck..

Look around and get something else..in the long run you will be happier..
Now I'm not saying mars will not give you buds either..people are rocking it with there light's..
But There's better out there for the same money.....

Anyways just my 2 cents worth....

Jeeeez u guys gonna scare homie away lol It don't matter what lights u use there are plenty good ones on the market . They are all good. Now that I think about it the price range too is a huge factor. Like if I had the money for a 2x4 I'd get timbers but that's over 400.

If u are really that worried about name brand u can get a cheaper one like vipar with the samsung 301h or b . There are plenty of good options out there, so to what cap was saying there is better out there now for the money .
