I’ve netted over a gram a watt from them, they’re great for beginners. I’m on quantum boards now, but for a beginner he shouldn’t spend a lot, he doesn’t even know if he likes the hobby yet, he didn’t pay much attention to this plant. Don’t invest in an awesome setup until you’re sure you want to do this, it’s a great hobby but very time consuming and these plants require your undivided attention.
@Lord - what is he supposed to do with an expensive setup if he doesn’t end up liking growing? He’ll be up shits creek without a paddle and out 500+ bucks.
If you don’t want him to use blurples, recommend him a cheap setup
