New Grower Quick feedback on a LED panel ?

[cc2arms]

I grow with 30 watts of LED light per square foot of floor space with 4 4' T5s for side lighting. If you can afford it use 40-50 watts per foot of LED light. I have grown as many as five plants in 3 gal air pots and 3 in 5 gal pots, but the overcrowding is bad.

2x300 watt ;-) View media item 6319

I have a vipar reflector it works well. there are a number of recommended led company's that have been tested on site. stick with blackstar, mars, vipar grow northern, these all have been tested here and work well according to your budget. I have four blackstars one vipar and one popular grow panel thas was super cheap to buy, and works well! don't be fooled by high price.

I agree with you i have 2 300w leds built by popular grow and they are pretty good, i will not complain with the prices either, 90% of led lights have china parts in them to begin with...
