4x8 LED Setup

Do you own Blackdog?

I'm starting to think so, you're the only one talking about them, and mentioning them many, many times plus also recommending them to people too much.

You do sound like a broken record btw. An annoying record at that.

When people ask for a recommendation I give them my opinion. I have 3 now and my buddy has two. I am very happy with my purchase, i have wanted LEDs to work for years now and as we all know the first ones out sucked. They were snake oil and a lot of people got burned. So when some one ask for a recommendation, I dont want to see some else get burned by a shitty LED company with a shitty product. Are there other companys that make a good product, probably, but i have not grown with them, so i do not recommend them. There are a few guys on here who have good results with there lights and they recomend the lights they use. You can find them all in the party cup competition.

Reality check: You dont need to cover a 8x4 space if your configuration on your drawing is correct. Also 12 plants in that space as the drawing stands will be far too crowded. I would go 4 plants per 4x4 with a 4-6 week veg depending on medium then flowering out. This way you can go 2 routes, a smaller panel over each or 2 plants or a bigger more powerful panel over 4 plants centrally with a quater rotation every day for each plant. This way you have the space to manouver around plants regardless of soil in a pot or hydro individual bucket. Personally I would hempy the bitches in mapito, works a treat and little hassle.
