    Default Advise on grow light upgrade. Worth it ?

    Hello!

    Grow box size is (DxWxH in inch) 17" x 24" x 44"

    So far in veg I have managed seemingly fine with my 3 x 15w LED bulbs + 2 x 10W strips.

    As I plan to move to flowering soon, and purge male plants, would investing in a UFO light from Mastergrow, such as this, be of substantial benifit ? My original plan was to swap the current bulbs/strips to the 3000K versions of the same, for a total of upto 80-95watts.

    I would have to import this, and there would be no return possible.

    Thank you all!

    Thank you! I'll seek a response from invisible sun then. Any other budget alternatives that could be worth looking into ?
    The entry cost to invisible sun may be a stretch for me. The wife would not appreciate!

    Ive just upgraded to an Invisible Sun QB but all my previous grows were done under a 300w Meizhi LED. Dont get me wrong, they'll see you from seed to harvest, ive had some pretty decent plants using them but with all 'blurple' type lights, you're not going to get massive yields but they are a decent budget starter light.

    Thank you Krudit!
    Therein lies my question.

    Do such lights have a substantial benifit over what I plan to install, using standard 3000k 15w bulbs x upto 6.

    Or do I just bite the bullet and wait and invest in the invisible sun ?

    Im in no way an expert in lighting, gardro and others are the best for that but if I could do it all over again, I would of saved up for a IS QB,(although they weren't around when I first started,) the difference between my latest grow using the QB to all my other grows using blurple lights is substantial.
