More like $1500, but no, not cheap at all.

It's 2000 if you want it right away, if you want to wait three month's than it's 1500. And that USD I'm in Canada so add another few hundred.
The meijiu 1000 w is 1250 Canadian with free shipping.
The 650w f8 is 950 Canadian with free shipping and a 5 year warranty that's from the Canadian meijiu site. Thinking about just getting the f8 just not sure if it would be adequate for a 5x5.
Could get it off Alibaba for around $600 canadian but the warranty is only a year and is from China plus shipping is like 250 so it's only 100 bucks more to get it from Canada with a better warranty

It's closer to $1500 after my 5% code. $1599 without.

Ok I saw that deal but I thought that you only got the discount if you waited the 90 days, I'm an idiot the 90 day thing is on top of the original deal so it's 1359 that's without your 5% I think. Was 1599 with the deal they have plus if you can wait 90 days for it you get it for 1359.
Pretty sure I would need co2 if I ran those lights in my 5x5 tent, same with the meijiu 1000 w

Think I would need co2 for 800 watts?

I think if you have the means you should run c02. If you are going to drop that kinda coin on a light - make sure to pick up the
(1) apogee 500 - Bing - Really helps with dialing in the needed par @ canopy lvl.
I bought it right after I bought the x6 .. wasn't interested in burning tf outta my plants.

JustBlazin · Aug 15, 2021

Honestly never had a interest to run co2, another reason I am interested in the 650 watt lights(no co2 needed), right now I run 2 600 has so I'm thinking that a 650 watt should be a adequate replacement for my 5x5. I also don't really want to spend more than 1000, I will if I have too but I definitely don't want to have to buy co2 on top of that

I run 5x5’s……..optic slim 650s……. That three way Spectrum control is not to be underestimated…… that light has tremendous versatility even in a 5 x 5 space it also has a 3.75 micro mule Efficiency rating in regards to their brand new Samsung v2 chips……. If you’re throwing a big stretcher no problem turn off the red and crank up the blue it’ll keep her from stretching so much……. Also has UVA and Ir diode‘s……far red boosts yeilds tremendously when supplemented alongside white and green parts of the spectrum without CO2 far red is very important……. I have my 650s 20 inches away from my tallest top….. my plant is also 36 inches tall exactly from the Coco to the top……your talking 56 inches!!! 36 of which is covered by thick ass rain forest canopy and I still have solid rocks at the trunk……. I have solid 1-2 gram buds less Than an inch away from that coco growing on parts that I’d usually Lilly pop…I didn’t this go around because I wanted to see how the 650s was at penitration……..she ssolid the entire way down….no bullshit whatsoever on her even at the trunk…..and she’s thick as fuck……because of the spectrum ratio and far red it’s able to penetrate the entire way down……I vegged her 8 weeks and 3 days then flipped……she took up my 5x5 tent (to the gills)……I don’t run co2…..it’s not about watts, it’s about spectrum ratio, always has been…..if I where u I’d go optic 650s

That light does look pretty dope and a 10 year warranty sounds pretty good as well.
But its pretty expensive, how much you pay for yours? Right now it's on sale and still $1500
Like bk said you got any pics of what that beast can do?

The F8’s have a 5 year warranty regardless of where you buy them from. Meijiu Canada drop ships directly from Shenzen, the guy who runs it is local to me. He just adds $400 fee for himself

Everything I look on Alibaba it says 1 or 3 year warranty, only time I see 5 year is when I go to the Canadian meijiu site which says they have them in stock.
So the Canadian site just ships it straight from China?

My F8’s came with a 5 year warranty for the strips, and driver. And yes they drop ship from china.

Boards have a 1 year warranty, the strips have 5 year.

Would you buy from Canadian store or Alibaba?
You think the f8 is adequate for a 5x5?

No I wouldn’t because I can get the exact same thing for $400 less

you’d want the f10 for a 5x5 imo, that’s the thousand watter 10 bar.

Just be careful on that Meiju canada site. Sketchy to me a bit. They posted these Barney's farm seeds for sale. But they came in home made packaging. And I asked the guy and they just made the seeds themselves. But they used the Barney's farm stock photos etc. I don't think that extra warranty is really worth it if you can almost buy second light for the price they are asking on the "Canadian site". Additionally I didn't see anything on their site confirming they stock the stuff in canada either so you could order and still wait the same as from Ali Baba. Might be worth an investigation.

Like I said above, dude is local to me and only has like 10 240 kits in stock, everything else is drop shipped.

Sketchy shit about those seeds for sure, their sift screens have a massive mark up too I see.

Was thinking about the 10 bar but then I would have to get co2(which I don't want to get)or hang the light higher which I can't cause I'm in a tent.
Saw mammoth lighting sells a 800 watt 10 bar light thats on sale for 999 us, think those lights are any good and would I need co2 for them?

Wow that is shady, I saw those on the site thought it was weird they only had 1 kind of seeds.
That's fuct and they were selling them for $125 that's just ridiculous.
Even at 52% off its still a rip off
