Pre-Grow build, hints are welcome!

My GF gifted me a Mars Hydro ts1000 for christmas....added it to 2 autocobs in my bloom tent. If I didn't have cobs, I'd have gone with the ts2000.

What about this one? It's very cheap but looks like it's in the perfect spectrum! There must be some trick...

I started with a light like that and an all "White" one along side of it. It will grow cannabis but you will be upgrading in a grow or two because they really are not worth the money. I built DIY Cobs that served me well for 3 years afteer the UFOs. After 6 years of indoor growing I finally purchased the lights from a company I have watched all along. I don't think they are available in the EU. Very expensive though from Chilled Tech. Is there some reason you do not want to look at Mars Hydro?

What about this one? Mars Hydro TS 1000, but the problem would be to buy from America, considering I'm in Italy.

The shop I already bought products from, Idroponica Shop, has a good looking Quantum Board, but I am not that aware about the spectrum and light characteristics, take a look here if you can and let me know if it could be a valid solution.

Mars Hydro is world wide and we have a local rep to help you. @MarshydroTina may be able to assist you in finding a local retailer.

Yes the Sonlight QB will work but the chips are superseded by LM301b as the chip of choice now and it is a bit expensive for what you get.

So basically any of the lights we mentioned before will do the job. The choice at the moment is between:

1. Sonlight Hyperled G3+ 270W - 360€
2. Sonlight Quantum Board - 296€
3. Mars Hydro TS 1000 - 250€
4. HLG 260W QB V2 Rspec Led - 313€ (+50 delivery)

Hello and thanks for the reply! I am scared that TS600 would be a bit underpowered considered my 80x80 box (2.5"x2.5") and 4 autoflowering, what you think?

I was looking to TS1000 which I suppose will do the job and it's gonna cost much less than the other options mentioned above. Let me know if you can find a way to let me get one of these toys and I'll be happy to go for it!

Thank you all again guys, you are very precious!

That's why AFN is here. Informed assistance sure shortens the learning curve.
So many of us older growers blindly bought so much stuff....and the bang for the buck changes quickly.
Wishin' all yall in Italy good weed growing and good health.
