    Viparspectra thoughts from people that have used them

    I also agree, but then when he puts his HPS in a 3x3, without spending a reasonable amount of money on extraction (which he doesn't want to do.) then his plants will die from heat stress. hes mentioned he can only afford enough for a 900w vS light, which is around £200, i'd rather spend that on...

    Viparspectra thoughts from people that have used them

    I'm just amazed you can't read "with the amount of heat an LED produces, which isn't much". As to your comment about generating heat, he can always close the windows a little further which will change the ambient temps of the room and the closet hes growing in, rather then forking out for...

    Viparspectra thoughts from people that have used them

    avoid a HPS / MH, because once you go into that rabbit hole its a pain in the ass especially when it comes to heat in a small area and then you need to spend more money on trying to getting fans to extract the heat, then the heat is to much and you need to spend more money on stronger fans, why...

    Overwhelmed. Trying to find a balance between value/performance.

    Overwhelmed. Trying to find a balance between value/performance.

    if you have the spare time i'd build yourself one, you can get U channel and L channel crazy cheap, for light for a 4x8 which is 32 sqft so you'd need around 1000 to 1300w worth of light from an LED build, shape is a little strange, if you want an easy root go for the QBs, if you want to build...

    where do all the companys like mars hydro, spectra, get the cases made?

    I've been looking at LED cases, does anyone know how or where they are made? or a place i could order a few from that are pre built? i'd like to try and put a lighting system together that could possibly be a future prototype for an actual led light product :D
