The Canadian Contingent (Part 2)

Alright fellow northerners!

I am in the market for a new led light and a new 4x4 tent. Wondering if anyone has had any good experiences with any of the Aglex gear or the Philzon lights. any tips or pointers for where to purchase would be amazing

There is a philozon giveaway happening. Might want to check it out. I have the 300 watt pro and the 400 watt. I like them they do get hot though. Guess thereā€™s no escaping that. That little 30o throws down though

I would check out your local kijiji and facebook marketplace. Lots of stuff people used for a songle grow and then are trying to sell of. Defs worth a look, i find tons of deals here

I fell for that once and then got snow on mothers day and frost may 28th and killed my whole garden. I have trust issues with planting early now. Lol June 1st where iā€™m at. Anything earlier can be a gamble.

I donā€™t know how to look up my photos from last year, but I put all 29 plants out and then we got a heavy Frost. I went out with green garbage bags and covered them all in the garden. It looked very Macabre and something right out of Halloween.

Ah, yea my weed plants I start to harden off in next couple weeks, they always do fine. Talking veggies. They hate it early here in grey highlands. Looking like we may get a warmer spring but i still dint trust it lol.

Amazing! Thats what im thinking, I have been looking far and wide for info, and it seems to be not alot of feedback which is sometimes great, as things with overwhelming feedback seem to skew towards the negative more often than not.

Try to find the 3000 pro (300 watt) instead. I got it on sale almost same price as the 2000 (200watt) and it even has a but of infrared or something added. Much better light than the 2000

My calculation for a 4 x 4 is: 16 (sqr ft) x 30 (W/sqr ft) = 480W.

I built mine to be 660W but Iā€™ve not run it higher than 400W, so Iā€™m sure not pushing itā€¦ :wink:

I got the philizon 400 in the 4x4. Anything bigger, Iā€™m afraid, will probably not fit. Itā€™s tight as is. Might wanna check the specs first.

What about getting 4 viparspectra 1500 pros?
I just got one for my 2x4 and gonna get anotherā€¦
That way you can daisy chain em and have different heightsā€¦ Just a thought
