So thanks to OG my interest has been piqued to try indoor growing. I’ve got lots of experience with the sun and soil, but never tried indoor with a tent.
So I’ve been shopping around, looking at lighting, reading up on what’s supposedly good or bad. I found a few high end lights that look like good deals, but they’re also still pricey. One guy who had some Gavita 1700s actually suggested I NOT go that route and buy an EGL 750 GSR if I’m growing in a tent. I’ve read a bit about Beaudelaires SolStrip and that interests me as well. I’d prefer something reliable and that doesn’t need upgrading after one grow. Looking at 4X4 or 5X5 tents, and that can be discussed too. I’d like to be in the $500-1000 range.
So lets have some suggestions on what works for you, ballpark prices etc. I’m in Canada, so that could factor in as well. Appreciate any help.
HLG Canada has a 25% off Fourth of July sale (???) with a discount that shows up in your cart on right now, you could double up these kits in a 5x5 for a nice spread:
So many lights will satisfy this space. I have grown with both the HLG 600 Rspec and Mars FC bar light series in those tent sizes and both did an amazing job. Those 2 I can reccomend personally.
This may just do the trick for you if you want a solid brand in ur price range that ships from Canada. I think if I was going to do a 5x5 tent I would grab the ROI-E720 though.
Thanks for all the responses. Just out of curiosity does anyone know if you can run the Fohse Aries 640 without the $600 controller, or is that defeating the purpose? Same with the Gavita 1700…does it need the controller? Just asking cause I found great deals on both, though they are at the very high end of my budget…or are these 2 lights complete overkill?
Is there a big difference between Samsung 301b diodes and 3030?
That’s a pretty cool setup. Though I just retired from playing hockey a little over a month ago and I’m looking for a hobby to keep me occupied over the winter…that thing looks like I’d still be trying to find a hobby! LOL. I’ll keep it in mind…I’m in no rush, want one going by the fall. Thanks!
