LED light for my room-appreciate every help i can get

[Randolph Carter]

Hi guys. I am new to the forum. It's been a year or so since i used weed, so i have decided to grow my own recreational medicine. Unfortunately, the more i read about LED lights, the more confused i'm getting. So i rather tell you my options:
What i have is a 90 x 90 cm space here. I am looking for a LED light, which is ideal for this amount of free space. I would like to use it from seed to harvest. Not looking for any additional/extra light source. The money i can spend on it is around 100-150 bucks. I would be grateful if you guys could help me out with links to the possible products. Also, please try to recommend products that you actually tried.
Forgive me if i make any errors, english is the third language of mine.
Thanks for everything in advance.

if u can pay a bit more $$$, u can buy a 315 cmh complete for under 200 bucks - i'm not sure u would get complete coverage at 90x90-

Maybe just some screw in LEDs? Gonna be tough to find a real LED panel for that price that is worth it’s weight, unless you can find one second hand. Check your local websites for sales, I’ve seen quite a few when I’ve poked around. Otherwise, yeah, I have no experience with them, but you could at least get decent light output from $150 worth of SILs.

... a 315 will do nicely.

A 315CMH would be perfect for the footprint, but you’re gonna have to have a bit more vertical space to run it and it’s going to run a wee bit warm if you’re closing it in a little box, which is always what I think of when I hear a small foot print like that. If you can keep it cool and have the head room, the 315 would be a great option.

Randolph Carter, get on you tube and watch some vids from Migro. Dudes pretty scientific and does alot of lab style tests on many popular lights.
Good luck

I think if you're stuck at that price range you're going to be light shy around the edges in flowering but I would look at Mars Hydro or Vipsect and the other cheap LED folks.





If you can find $100-$150 more you could get so much better.


I have been looking since the start of the year as I'm moving to LED for my 1.2M room.
I looked at mars Hydro but for the money I will be spending their warranty doesn't cut it.


@hayday... Getting a 300 myself, 3 year bullet proof warranty from that man, everything paid for, returns & parts and it's all arranged by them. The final stroke... all import charges paid by them too.

Any questions I had dealt with promptly.

Thanks for everyone, i ended up making my very own led light. I would rather not go with the mars hydro ts 1000 (not saying its a bad light, but i would rather use it to the veg stage, and i am looking for something that would do the job for a full cycle). Thanks again.

Following for my own edification.

And Random? No need to apologize for your English. Your grammar and punctuation are better than many. My own included! And it's your third language? Impressive!
