is this junk? G8 90w Bloom booster

Fun20010418 · Mar 17, 2017

Well I wish i knew then what i know now. I bought the G8LED 90 Watt LED All RED Flowering BOOST Grow Light to help with the red end during bloom. This is before i found RIU, and realized COB was the way to go. Is this a good unit? What would be better using this as a bloom boost or adding something like a 100W Citizens Cob bar in either 3000k or 3500k at a similar price point. My main light right now is a viparspectra 600w in a 4x2 grow tent(again i wish i knew then what i know now). Is the G8 all red ufo good or should i return it?

If possible I would return it and put the $ towards cobs or quantum boards...

It is possible to return as I am still within the return window:

This is my current set up in a 4'x2' grow tent
Viparspectra 600w (not eligible to return)
Viparspectra 300W (eligible to return)
G8 Red LED ufo (eligible to return)

so my thought process is to return the vipar 300w and the g8 UFO and buy a Citizen Cob 3500k 200w from timber and use that alongside my Viparspecrtra 600w(actual draw ~275w). How does that sound?

Sounds good too me... I'm running a Timber kit myself.. Best customer service I've found..

well i scrapped what i had all together and just ordered 350w of citizens cob leds alternating between 3000k and 3500k from timber. I am going to return the other 2 lights and save the light i cant return to use as a veg light when i get a separate tent.

I hope so ...and it looks like I'll be able to just stick my viparspectra in between the two bars and use that for veg until I get a separate tent
