Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago

Hey Growdiaries. I’m about to start my 2nd grow but I’m not happy with my Viparspectra 300 for flower. I want a cheap add on for the flower stage? CFLs look like a cheap, low energy use, add on as I’m only growing two plants in a small w3xd2xh3 ft tent. Any advice plz & 🙏🏼

Hey Mate, before I would go for a CFL I´d rather have a decent look for LED. A TS600 from Mars Hydro, price is below €100 in my area. You´ll get a stable light with a good spectrum. Vipar Spectra, Spider-Farmer, Horticultural Lighting group... There are tons of producers at the moment. May you want to have a look at the Light-section here at GrowDiaries. You´ll find one, for sure. Best of luck for the rest of the way! Servus, Oim.👍

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.

Idiot - new light, wrong sized grow tent So I’m an idiot. All this time I thought I had and 80/80cm grow tent, when it turns out it’s actually 60/60, and I of course just ordered the SF2000 light, which is almost 65cms on one side. Should I just order a new tent right away to make it fit? Or could it be squeezed in? 😭
