How much cheaper is building your own LED as opposed to buying one prebuilt?
And where can you get decent equipment to build my own LED?
Is the end product any better than buying a Spider Farmer or Mars Hydro?
I'm definitely interested in learning more about this DIY
I also just came across the Phlizon Cob LEDs. They dont seem to bad. Definitely not top of the line but comparable to the Optic 4, 6, and 8. And for a third of the price.
That's exactly why I'm doing my due diligence and researching and asking questions to do it the right way the first time LOL I don't want no stinking tomatoes although they're hella yummy when they're green and fried up
Yeah I've been looking at the bulbs and the ballast and the reflectors and the Kits.
iPower seems to be the best bang for the buck.
SunStream seems to be the best overall.
I read that getting a 1000 watt setup sets you up for more light penetration and more grams per watt, however a 600-watt...
Looking for 2 nice 600 or 1000 Watt HID Grow Lights. Looking to possibly run 2 HID in a 4x10x8 grow room instead of LED. I can get 2 HID lights for less than 1 LED grow light and still have money left over.
What is a good brand?

For the 6ft side:
2x Mars Hydro TSW 2000 300W...
I love the ideas and help from EVERYONE!!! You all are amazing. Getting the delivery of 2x4s, insulation, and sheetrock to start the finishing of the garage and building the grow room.
I do have a question...
Should I just paint the ceiling, walls, floor flat white OR wrap room with Diamond...
I never thought about panda film. Didn't even know that was an option. I'll definitely look into that. I definitely planned on some sort of raised table for the plants to sit on and raise them off the floor.
As for the media I'm pretty set on coco/perlite mix and was thinking dry amendments...
I was thinking something similar to this however have the door swing all the way open so they're not in the way. I was thinking sliders like a closet but I think it would be better off more sealed off for environmental reasons. Also don't pay attention to the plant pictures I can't shrink them...
I just bought a new house and moved in this week. I was originally going to use a grow tent to grow but now I have a huge garage which now I'm thinking I should just build a grow room. Of course I have a few questions about the build as my situation is a little bit different than most people...
