    Hi all

    https://imgur.com/a/dsLguQu

    I’m looking at this now. looks to be plug and play which saves me some novice stress. This has gotta be better than a 450w vipar if this pulls 250w as described. At twice the cost for the unit though? Also I think 3500k is best for veg and flowering?

    This guy only has 3000k available with hlg board. Would this suffice for both veg and flowering? Not much available at GOOD prices within the UK

    In LM561C, 3500K is better suited for veg and flower. 3000K will work but you will get more stretch

    KINGBO Dual Optical Lens-Series 900W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum for Indoor Plants VEG and Flower(2 Switches, 12-Bands

    On Amazon for £220 with decent reviews. Reason I like it is it has a switch for veg and flowering. So can be lessened to start with. Thank you all for input
    Lol. there are a lot of LEDS that have Veg and flowering switch.

    I use Mars Pro II 600w from Mars Hydro and the result seems good. They reflective cup on the light is a briliant design.

    Viparspectra seemed the best option when I was looking around - it also seemed to have the best reviews on Amazon etc.
