COULD MY YIELDS BE BETTER WITH A DIFFERENT LIGHT???

I think with overcrowding and week LEDs cause me to have small yields

600w 110w actual draw.<---think again..you need photons

Nice lil light man . you should consider adding a small 150 watt hps to the tent . would drastically improve spectrum and yield

The plants in the pictures look pretty healthy and a long way from harvest. Should be more than 2 oz. How long did you veg and how long did you flower? 220 w in a 2 x 4 should work.

Why would you ever recommend an HPS of any kind? Especially in a 2X4 tent. That heat, man... What a nightmare to deal with exhausting that in such a small space. A good 100-200w of LED boards or strips will kick some serious ass.

To equal the same intensity on the best HID, for an 8sq/ft area you need 340w of the best LED Diodes/ Samsung/Osram. Osram makes the best Far Red Diodes.

A 1000w Hortilux HPS is the industry standard for a 4 x and single ended HPS

Ok then for 2 x 4 you need 500w of the Best HID.

Consider the very Best LED/Samsung/Osram are 1/3 More Efficient vs the best Single Ended HPS bulb-1600umol

1/3 of 500 is 166, so 500 minus 166= 334w of the BEST LED.

Seriously man. Someone recommended I get an MH HPS system for a low budget in a desert climate? GTFO with your murica nonsense. China has you beat on price and heat till the cows come home johnboy.

Most, if not all Chinese Diodes do not stack up vs Samsung/Osram, and China also advertises as using Samsung Diodes, when Samsung says they have 000 dealings with China, and LED Diodes.

It's true there are Chinese companies that do make claims to use them, when they don't.
Isn't that something you can be glad to know Mars Hydro isn't bs'ing about? They use Epistar SMDs. And theybsay so.
As far as China not being able to use Samsungs AT ALL, They're made IN China....

another case of growing too many plants with underpowered lights. You cant cut corners on this stuff and expect a great yield.

Your yield could always be bigger, look at renfro's grows lol

Buds responding amazing to the mixed customer spectrum I've created with the 3 led lights I'm using the buds and Crystals are getting huge .. I agree led is the best way I still have to crack a window in my room sometimes to vent hot air but the winter is helping me drop the humidity and temp week 5 day 34 of flowering maxi Bloom King kola 2 Vanderlife 600w actual 100w and 100w actual lenofocus 672 led 660nm far red

Knock-off comes to mind. Could be legit, didnt look into it.
Why didn't you ask people before purchasing?

Just checked it on Amazon. They're not even a light company. I think they're just resellers for Chinese made products in general. Only one other grow light on their Amazon page and it's a generic blurple.

Should've got a SF or Mars i think instead of total random knock-off.
At least they dont claim to be something they're not.

Don't be jealous lol

I'm not jealous of any light with unknown specs.

Neither one you mentioned mixes 4000k 6000k and red and that's what I was looking for.....

Small HIDs are incredibly inefficient compared to their larger siblings(600, 1000). I would take a generic blurple over a low wattage HID all day.
