Lighting best quality "cheap" led units?

[kyliekay]

I have a vipar 1200watt, real consumption is 600watts and it costs about $580 delivered. It has the 5watt chipsets in it and it is amazing. Even tho it uses the same power you will produce bigger more solid buds( i have hps at one end of my tent, led the other). The plant can also grow closer to the light. The unit puts off heat, but it is directed up and out not onto the plants. When i need a replacement, i will probably get two more vipars to replace the single hps. More light less heat.

Hey man, I'll try and help you out. Like yourself when I first started growing I wanted to use LED's but was on a budget. There is a lot of negativity towards the "cheap" LED's and most of it is warranted because there are a lot of shitty ones out there but if you do your research you can definitely get a good performing LED for a reasonable price.

The first LED I bought was one of the 300w Vipar units you mention, I'm on my third grow with it now and I'm quite happy with it. Here's a link to some pics of my first grow with it which yielded 87g from 1 plant.

After my first grow I purchased a second LED which is a Cidly Apollo, Cidly is the manufacture of the current Grow Northern LED's so you can get it customized to be the same spectrum as GN and get it direct from the manufacture for like half the price. Here's a link to the details of my custom Apollo.
