Larry Badgeley Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 @Superstealth I could not have put it better. It beggars belief the amount of people on this site alone who have recommended the site sponsor, AND PEOLPE STILL wont listen. It's like the people who say " It's only a weed and it will grow anywhere". I have a Blurple (first LED I bought after reading on Amazon) in the loft somewhere I could never understand why the plants never grew. I joined here and I read, read and took the plunge with DIY LED UK when he was selling gear from a lock up. I am using a Scopex 220w LED currently and it is a great piece of kit. Never had any issues with it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McHazy Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) For that sized space I would be using your maxibrite along wi yer 400w hps if money is tight and even then it will probably fall short so I would either lower your expectations get more light or get a smaller tent Edited April 1, 2022 by McHazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McHazy Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) If ye got 2 x 600w hps already an money is tight then just use them for veg and flower unless ye got a separate veg area in which case use the maxibrite for the veg area and the 2 x hps for flower I don't know too much about Mars hydro but chances are if its called 1600w then its probably about 120w Edited April 1, 2022 by McHazy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Should Know Betterer Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Grow ladyhi I was a 600w hps person 10+years, a random algorithm told me I needed to go led and I went nuts looking, my original intention was a £200 Marrs led, don't recall which, mate convinced me to hold on and have a proper look, I researched the crap out of it and saved up my money, 2 months later got a Maxibright Daylight 480w Pro, bargain as its listed £750s and I found one after a long search for £595, best thing I've ever done garden wise, out performing anything I've made with hps tbh, so I'd say use what you've got for now and try to add to what you intend to spend, buy betterer than you need if you can, easier to dial down than be lacking, and then in the summer treat yourself to a shiny new led, and I know you've heard it before but you can't go wrong with site sponsors, above all I'm impressed with their honesty and I feel safe shopping there, infact my new 6"AC ec fans due to arrive today or tomorrow. Good luck growing, just realised I mean that in every way, growing has helped me to grow, nice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2jlv II Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hello i use a mars hydro tsw2000 and its only a 300w light so dunno where you get that info from as im pretty sure it doesnt use 725w Also its dimmable so i have a 75 x 75 and its overkill for that tent,,if run on 100 percent get burnt tops on the nugs so dont go above 80 percent. But to be honest im pretty sure theres better lights but im the same this is my 3rd LED and think most are shite compared to a HPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
