[freddyyola]

thanks alot guys ima check ebay and used stuff and if i had tio choose pay now or later id pay later of course pretty much a trade off for some my harvest could always start out hps and change it up later i was worried bout the heat really cause add the cost of cooling the hps then its not really cheaper at all

I can't afford to buy cheap.

[baddog]

Depends on your definition of cheap ... but I've had good luck with the Viparspectra reflector series

I am usinh mars hydro light. They are really Good and i have Only found positive reviews.
they are making lights in different price range, I am using their Mars Hydro Pro II cree 256.

315cmh, dimmable, that does come in handy on young plants.
Just perfect for a 3x3 tent. The one I got ,doesn't even get, hot. If the room it's in is 70degrees, inside my tent it's like 75-77degrees, And that's when it's turned up to 345watts.
They are good lights for small grows. 3-4 plants in a 3x3 tent,

$53 for a 300w led I have 6 of them and have had no problems in 8 months

If you spend the money on a good led now you will save on electricity later . So the question is . Pay now or pay later ?

[Mr.furley]

Ebay.
Got me a Hydro planet hood, 400w ballast, 1 Mh, 1 hps, used one time, ship to the door for 80 bucks (good enough to get it done). Later Added a Phantom 600w used for 40$ and a second used hood from the local grow shop for 25$, 1 NEW Horticulture 600 watt hps bulb 65$
(bulbs is were you space no expense) and have myself a veg tent and a flower tent lights setup for around 2 bills.
good luck.

Depends on the size of your space but I use leds in one tent and hps in another and I’d say the hps is the best bang for the buck. You can get a decent quality hps setup for $140-$200 depending on the size of your space. I like my cheap Amazon leds and still use them, but I’m glad I upgraded to hps in my other tent!!

[Chefbjy]

If you want cheap you will get sub par lights with leds. Hps/mh set ups aren't that expensive anymore but they are tried and true always producing nice quality nugs.

I have a Galaxyhydro 300W LED panel from Amazon; still in veg but so far it seems to be doing the trick.

[freddyyola]

is there such thing as an best cheap light? i want quality honestly but it dont want the over priced bs trickery.. im looking for basically the best bang for your buck light that if need be ill get one now and uprade to more as i go or future grows..
