Good to know Danofdanger. Thanks for clarifying that.

I used a cheap GH 300 watt, 89buck led light that was 155 watts at the wall and last month harvested over 6 and a half ozs, of dry ,hard ,very sticky awesome bud off of one Nirvana Northern Lights auto, . I have also got another one started just like the last one to see if the first one was a fluke.

I have had great results with Galaxy hydro lights also. I started with two and bought two more. Do you have the kind that puts off pinkish light or yellow?

Purple red looking the one with 3 fans, damn good lights , it grew some of the hardest, stickiest best developed buds i have ever grown and I always grow outdoors with the sun. Puts out no heat and I couldn't see any increase on my electric bill.

I run Galaxy's also 600w in Flower, 300w in Veg. I'm really happy with them esp. considering the price point. I just can't bring myself to pay $1000+ for a damned light, lol.

I am looking into the VIPARSPECTRA PAR600 or something similar for the next tent and upgrade. A bit higher price than GH but draws a bit more juice (285) has blue and red spectrum switches and adds white, switched also.

I really like adding the white back in. But we'll see, still a month or so off before I need to make a decision and I do like the GH light a lot.

Yep, a lot of people like to bust on them as cheap LEDS and no good, but IMO they're a solid hobbyist light at a good price. I'm sure the expensive lights work great esp. for larger grows, but for in home personal grows, save the money and run with these IMO

I agree Ganj, damn good lights , just find the right distance from your plant my plant I kept the light at 22 to 24 inches for 10 or 12 days then kept it at 18 inches all the way to harvest 87 days later with good results .My plant didn't have a veg. Period she went from seedlings straight to flowering stage with pistils everywhere on day 21 that's when she first started growing good, she wasn't but about 3 inches tall on day 20.

300watt galaxy hydro cheap works pretty good.
