I like the middle one. I'm not a huge fan of the off brand Amazon LEDs but they've definitely improved over the years and that one has some interesting features and is the highest wattage (also a $25 off coupon)

Not sure if you saw, but the first one does have an Amazon Warehouse option at only a $132 though which is honestly a steal and I'm honestly tempted to buy it myself even though I totally don't need it lol.

Honestly the results from all three will probably be pretty similar so I wouldn't overthink it, buy whichever looks coolest!
I'm gonna go with the 2nd one. I like how the reflectors move, it dims and it has a timer function plus 270w. I saw that used one for dirt cheap but it'll be gone by the time I order my light most likely. I need to get a bunch of rope ratchets too because I hate these stupid wire hangers for these led lights. With the ratchets all the way up I'm losing 18 inches of grow space because of those hangers. Rope ratchets let me bring it all the way to the top almost. I have a feeling I'm gonna have some tall plants lol.

if your gonna flower with that light be careful with all the "glowy" light "thingy" timer in the middle

@Amos Otis I wanted to let you know that the remaining starberry pie cracked and grew some nice tails. They are in cups now. Everything of yours that I soaked germinated ?

That Topanga Canyon that was lost in the solo cup that I put in the container in a thin layer popped up so it's now joined the party. It's going to be an absolute jungle in my basement!

What is it about autos that you like so much?
Not having to worry about light schedules and I have very limited space. The turnaround is fast too. If i ran 10 cantaloupe kush autos and got the same yield as my first plant that gives me about 1000 grams every 84 days. I can pull 4 auto grows off per year so for my tiny grow spot autos are just great. That being said the potency is way lacking on most autos compared to photos so maybe I can work to make that better, who knows.

Another thing is my house is very small, 920 square feet including the basement plus I have autistic Kids. Light leaks are inevitable and very hard to avoid. I have to keep my basement door open so cold air gets down there so I keep my kitchen super dark during lights out. The kids love flipping that light on and off lmao so autos are the smart choice for people with tiny houses and autistic kids.

Last batch of butter was turned into this magical concoction. We took some capn crunch all berries and gave them a nice pounding in a Ziploc bag and added them to some fruity pebbles. The recipe called for half cup of oil, we had about 4/5 cup so we said fuck it and added it all in. 1/4 piece has me feeling like I'm on the gravitron at the county fair. Holy sheeeeyit! I wish i could give y'all a piece! 20210730_131039.jpg

Tonight I'm filling the solo cups to the top with soil to fix any seedling stretch. Seedlings are all getting the standard dose of recharge for their first true watering.
Veg plants are looking pretty decent so I'm just gonna give them recharge, calmag and silica. I tell ya what though, I mixed those 3 together in distilled water with a ph of 6.39 and it they raised it to 9.7!
Autos will be getting the same this feeding, recharge, calmag and silica. I've been alternating between a healthy feeding and recharge/calmag/silica and they seem to dig it. I'll have some pics later on. Every new seed is above ground and green. I think y'all give me good luck! Thank you lol.
