Which grow lights should I go with? Sorta a risk

Am using Facebook market place and both people are rated good so it’s decent. My grow room is 2x3 and there are 2 pictures of the bestva

Just say No! We can find you way better lights. What's the budget?

Not good
Find something not blurple would by my advice

Gold standard; HLG or Timber.

Next best; Spider Farmer, Vipar Spectra, Fluence.

Don't buy cheap ass blurple bullshit from brands you've never heard of.

No way, don't do that. Go to the Deals thread in the Grow room setup section if you need decent cheap budget lights. Good deals on lights at a good price @Marq1340 is your go to poster with the deals there.

Of course if you have the money go for an HLG/Timber but since you're looking at blurps I'm assuming the budget is low. Not being mean we all start somewhere.

Don't forget ChilLed (Growcraft).

I bought 2 of the 100 watt bar lights for $40 a piece for the hell of it, but they don't have them anymore it doesn't look like. That would've worked too for around $80. I haven't checked them out yet, but people have said good things so far.

But ya, that Best Deals thread is a good place to check too for cheaper lights.

Neither. They're selling because they're junk.

If u want a good led its gonna cost a decent amount. Your room is 2 foot by 3 foot? Get some 2 foot floro tubes and put the LED t5 conversion bulbs in them.

Not necessarily

SZHLUX 4000W LED Grow Light 6×6ft... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MF2247G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Now there's no dimmer in case you wonder why it's cheap. My daughter uses one for veg and simply raises and lowers as needed. I'll challenge their 6'X6' claim but this is 400 true watts from the wall and it's bright. Been reviewed on RIU before by others.

It's got less than 1000 diodes also. Another reason it's only this much and why I'll say their claim of 36 square feet BS.

I’ve got a Kingbrite 240w lm301h that has been great. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a budget light.

It is significantly better than my mates vipar spectra 2000.

At the opposite end I love ChilLED, but the cost doubles when you add shipping and vat in the U.K.

I couldn’t do that so I’ve ordered a HLG scorpion Diablo.

I've used t5 cfl not good when I went to flower. What ever you get make sure your umol output is what you want. Rasta told me veg round ⁵00 to ⁸⁰0 . You need a kick to around nothing less than ¹¹00 umol to flower. This is what I was told. If Un sure go YouTube micro and look at umol and dli. . I HAVE A AMAZON LIGHT, and I'm burning tips on my saliva, my indica loves it. To each their own, jedi

I am on my first grow.i was gifted 2 390w 2000w Bestva. Picked up some seeds from a friend and wound up with a autoflower. This is my first plant i ever grew, start to finish with bestva lights. I have upgraded since worked pretty good I think , when that was all I could afford. Will use ln my next grow for veg. Only point I am trying to make is it will work . Still on my first grow with photoperiods . So this is FYI only. I am new to growing myself. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Each there their own, brotha jedi. Don't let ppl hate on your gangsta. My guy runs hps and hates on my led plants that are the same seeds. He's streachin, I'm compact. He trains , I do nothing. Find what works for you fellow jedi

I grow in approx the same footprint 3ft x 2.7ft

I’m using a @MarsHydrofactory FCE-3000 with 300w of actual power which uses bridgelux diodes.

those blurple you’ve posted are probably 100w if that lights. Enough for 1 plant in a 1.5ft x1.5ft footprint.

I’m growing 1 plant this time using this light.

Fake ratings.

Listen to these guys, no one is "hating" on the OP, just trying to help him avoid a huge mistake.
