    LED isn't really the best choice if you are on a budget... anything I would suggest would be the wrong side of £300

    The 400w I was looking at was £100 so if I bought 2 it would be £200 mate

    I don’t mind running HPS or MH although I thought I would need a taller roof as the roof of my tent is only 160cm. I can buy fans etc to control the environment I just didn’t think the tent would be tall enough, don’t want to burn the plants plus wouldn’t it drastically increase the electric? Or would just one plant be fine? Thanks again

    Yeaa i seen someone post before it may have been joker ir someone else and they said best off paying the extra it will be worth your while at the end. I was already set up by this point i guess i can only see. Next grow ill going to try upgrading. Im not expecting much off this grow with it being my 1st and using quite cheaps LEDs ive set my standards low hahaha

    What is a cool tube lol & do you have a diary of that grow? & what was your final yield. I have the nutes I’ll be using etc & I was hoping to get a minimum of 4 oz of dry bud, is that being too optimistic? lol

    This is a cool tube, you incorporate it as part of the ventilation

    So it’s essentially a ballast? But with a tube? What size fan would be suitable? & did your electricity bill increase a lot?
