BudgetLED - Series 3 SQ² Samsung LM301H 250 Watt Dimmable Grow Light ($330usd handmade in Michigan) insanely good light with UVB as well! 5. California Light Works Solar System 275 ($490usd full spectrum control great warranty made in USA.)

If you are looking for a great budget light Bloomspect is great. They are so affordable. Bloomspect SG2000 Dimmable I think is $219 perfect for a 3×3 tent. It uses the same diodes as the spider farmer LEDs. I have 4 different Bloomspect LED lights. Love them! Also 2 600w reflector series.

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.
