Grow light for my closet

[GhestViewingLimit]

I have an SP250 and plants love it but I have not used it for flower yet. I’m sure it would do great. Imo just grab a light and get rolling you can’t go wrong to start

Goodluck!

Nice and you said there were three other companies mentioned? I'm certain I missed them but as long as their not using knockoff parts, that's cool.

I got my Mars tent off Amazon, should be available. Also ordered direct from Mars Hydro site and no issues either.

What I grew with the SF2000 , I’m with Frimpong the technology out today is making it easier to grow , I’ve never grown with a led before but I like the end result of the crop better than the MH & HPS 400 w I normally use . Just buy a light you can afford grow a plant or 4 under it anyway that’s what I did . Od

Guys ? All I gave was advice and links and nothing but that and even compare videos .

The user can take it all he wants but I never bullied or said it’s the only way

And good advice it has been. Not speaking to just you here but ALL of the information I gathered here was enough to steer me away from a bad light or even a good decision?. Say what you want about any light but wherever I go, I'll most likely do a complete loop back to the MARS HYDRO TSL 2000W lol.

 

[BH]

It’s not really 2000 Watts

Ofcourse it's not. It's under 300w but still more than I ever come to own.

I haven't used a Mars light yet, but they just sent me one for free so I'm about to set it up and see what's up this weekend. I do have a couple Spider Farmer SF2000s (one of which was also given to me for free) and have had good results. The new one is WAY improved over the old one. But the price has also gone way up over the last few years.

I also have a couple HLG v65 and to be honest, while I like them for veg, they are awful to flower under. Just not enough red spectrum in the 4000k. I love that they are assembled in the US, but they're still using Korean and Chinese parts. I'd love to try one of their bigger lights but I've never had the budget, and honestly if I did I'd probably buy a timber anyways.

My favorite QB board is the one I assembled myself. I just bought a kit on eBay. It was cheaper and more powerful than the Mars or the SF, but it did also come from overseas despite the seller listing themselves as stateside, and it took forever to get here. Grows some killer buds though.

Final suggestion is to check Craigslist. I just found out there's a couple guys building COB grow lights in my area for very reasonable prices. I may try one of them out soon. I know I could assemble it myself but every time I start a parts list I get overwhelmed then lose interest lol.

Personally, I still prefer HID over LED, and my struggles with colder temps are reinforcing that this winter. But for a closet like yours I think you'd struggle with heat.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these lights these days. Even Mars reputation has improved in recent years. Like @Capt's Farm said, in the long run, just buy a light you can afford and rock it till the wheels fall off. You can always upgrade down the road when your budget allows.

Thanks for the solid input Gentleman. I came to figure the same thing about the HLGs emphasizing the fact that I did my research? which is why it was suggested to me I get those, and a few cheap red strip lights to give it the kick it needs during flower. Well those are mostly my own words.

Sounds like a healthy plan , let's see some fire ?

you do realize he said not enough red in a 4K version? Thats the veg version and they have a 3000k version that has the red lol

What do you mean? Would I need to buy two different lights?

 

[Frimpong]

U can just get a 3k that's what I like, little more red than the 4k

 

[BH]

3k is a great universal all cycle light, 4K is geared for veg , 3500k is mid range

 

[Frimpong]

I would not put anymore thought into it . There are many good choices , get what u can afford and rock that bitch ? and u can msg me anytime bro if u ever have any questions. No matter how silly u think they are ?
