I just got an SF7000 and an AC infinity S44 Ionboard on marketplace for 550$ plus a 4×4 tent and some extras 💡⛺️👌just make sure you thoroughly check them out because your shooting the dice on light hours , humidity issues etc

My second grow I used ACE-500 LED Light when it was $150 on Amzn and had really good results

I just got this. Arrives Monday. I was on a 3-400 budget. There’s fb pages on fb if you want to check out more of the light. <div>https://www.rdjbouns.com/products/growline-720w-led-grow-light?cfb=d152582b-3805-421c-a125-360554ccaada&scm=relative.v14.17.18.19.20&score=3.320454002512474&ssp=spz&spm=..product_3481ab08-2659-4e1b-b113-9b3bf7396f45.product_recommendations_1.3</div>

I’ve had luck with MedicGrow. Migro has reviewed at least one of their lights. I’ve been sold on their stuff since.

Sorry mate, was hoping you were out here in kali. I’ve got a loner. Craig’s list & offer up are the places I’ve been finding all my used lights & tents.
Happy grow bro

shoutout surfdad grows I ended up going with the RDJ growline 720w led thanks for all your recommendations. growers love!
-
Nice bro. Digging it for the price but it definitely helps keep control of the environment a lot easier. All my plants are loving it but I’ll say, 20% if you keep it close. 50% you can have it at the top of your tent and still hit your DLI. Most of what I’ve found you don’t really need to go above 50% unless you can get it higher than your tent height.
-
Yeah I’m running about 18” off the canopy @50%
-
If you’re in flower you’re probably fine but they are generally leaving the light a bit higher. Get the Photone app or whatever you’re going to use and meter it. This light is pretty intense. I’m at 42” @50%. Hitting a DLI of 28-30 at 14hours of light. Sitting at 420ish(nice) ppfd. The plants will definitely not hesitate to tell you what’s up lol. My leaves folded up until I got it figured out.

I’m finishing my first run with my farm lite 320w. I put up some new photos of my current run finishing with the light. Under $200 on Amazon.

315 cmh lights do a great job for much less initial cost.
-
I have a sunsystem cmh ballast with 2 spare bulbs but the ballast will no longer power up. But thanks for your thoughts. I pick up a brand new 4×4 720 led that seems to be doing great so far

Don’t Sleep On The MedicGrow Grow Lights they’re definitely the best Bang for your buck in the LED Grow Light market in my experience with growing over the last 25 years you can get an 800 watt commercial grade LED Grow light for just under $300.00 dollars U.S.

I was wanting the fold-8 before I got mine, went to get it and my card kept declining. I had the money. Bank told me because the purchase routes through Hong Kong, since the US doesn’t do buisness like that so we can’t. Idk. I tried going through the site.
