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.

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.

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.

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
