What is the manufacturer of this panel. Can you post a link

 

[frogleg]

Problem is I don't know the manufacturer. I've found several sites selling similar ones, here's what looks like half of it for example :

May it be some kind of old Mars Hydro rebranding ?

I have never seen that light. Anyone can make there light sound like the shit when writing it up I would look for reviews from the lights users. And look for their warranty info to see if it fails you can get a replacement or get it fixed

What about the Vipar 450W reflector ?
trying to find a better brand

I have a vipar reflector it works well. there are a number of recommended led company's that have been tested on site. stick with blackstar, mars, vipar grow northern, these all have been tested here and work well according to your budget. I have four blackstars one vipar and one popular grow panel thas was super cheap to buy, and works well! don't be fooled by high price.

Sounds great !!
That's a lots of lights ! How big is your grow room ? And how many plants do you grow ?
Could I expect to grow 1 or 2 decent autos at a time with such a cheap, let's say 400W, led panel ?

Thanks for your help guys ! :smoking:

I have two tents three lights per tent. and can do four autos per tent, or two photos per tent. tent's are 40 inch's square by 6 1/2 ft tall.

I can check them out indeed, dreamily wishing I had the budget !

I checked out your setup and and it all looks real good ! Only thing is i'm having a little trouble finding some information inside those 238 pages. What's the wattage of all those panels you have ? I'd like to know roughly how many watts of cheap led I would have to give to each auto !

I grow with 30 watts of LED light per square foot of floor space with 4 4' T5s for side lighting. If you can afford it use 40-50 watts per foot of LED light. I have grown as many as five plants in 3 gal air pots and 3 in 5 gal pots, but the overcrowding is bad.
