Hi guys,
I'm currently on 3 weeks into my first indoor grow, my journal is here - https://www.autoflower.org/f44/first-indoor-grow-t5-coco-36231.html
So far I'm loving the T5's, and my original plan was to add another 8 bulb fixture in my 5x5 for a total for 16 bulbs.
Recently after I've sort of swayed over to the LED side of things..
Im interested in running a set up thats around 600-700W draw from the wall, for instance,
I would like to run 2 x Kind LED 300W l600 -http://kindledgrowlights.com/product/led-grow-lights-for-sale-k3-l600/
They're 3W diodes and each unit claims to replace a 600w HID, so two of these units in my 5x5 would hopefully be giving me somewhat around "1000W" realistically with a 650W~ish draw from the wall.
This is around the same as a 16 bulb T5 set up(roughly).
Anyway, My main question is, is there anyone out there using these on AF.net? or heard any reviews?
I've found a couple journals spread across the net with people using the lower end models inn smaller spaces and saying they're working great with no issues,
Here is also a review I found comparing them to multiple other LED's and a 400W -

There's alot of talk about the black dog's and they look really nice, but If i went with black dog i would grab the 1200W/600w(draw) model, but theres one issue with that,
I would prefer to run 2 fixtures parralel, rather than one in the centre.
Also the lower model black dog was in the youtube comparison above and was rated lower in the tests than the kind, which leads me to believe its a pretty reliable(I'm not saying its better, to anyone out there who owns one!) I just mean that thats proof in the pudding thats its performing well!
Any information or guidance is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Peace :Sharing One:
