waaweee4221started grow question 3 years ago
I am a horticulturist from asia interested in researching on the medicinal aspects of marijuana. I am unable to source 800W/1000W LED grow lights from within my country. I am looking to get the best for my buck from China perhaps? Can somebody link me to the right sources? Thanks

Yes Mars do discount for bulk buy, ( you said save 5-6k so assume its a lot required) Yes Mars deliver to Hong Kong No we can't change the legal issues of your country. Buying horticultural equipment isn't generally a crime.

Thank you guys for your help so far. But one of the issues I'm facing is legality. It's very much in the grey area. But since its being done for academic reasons, it's not attracting much attention. I hope to eventually do my part in legalisation in our country over time, my research being one of the stepping stones. Another issue I'm facing is taxes, I would have to pay 50-70% tax on the entire amount(invoice+shipping). Imports are heavily taxed, and custom laws are very vague as well. I was planning to get a friend to receive it in a country with minimal tax such as Hong Kong which is next to China, then further repackage it with a fake invoice issued by a paper company so I could save 5-6K USD. Any suggestions?

@Tatace I do 100% agree with this comment. They sell original Cree leds for a great price! I am not sure where in Asia you are from but a lot of Asian country's have the perfect climate to grow outdoors. Only not the best laws to do so... So if you can grow outdoors without the risk doing jail time for it I would consider growing outdoors. The sun is free and the best grow light by far! 😋

Also, Mars only take payment via PayPal as far as I know, but convenient and you get a PayPal receipt then not even a confirmation email until item is dispatched, sometimes tracking, sometimes not. Everything I have bought for years has turned up very well packaged and working.

@GrowingGrannie (incorrect spelling) so to summarise especially for you, yes, I read the question, Asia is a big mf place to guess from, however, I know Mars hydro ship to literally the whole wide world ( as explained ). I was pretty sure the question asker would realise that, the link takes you to the region you are in, its worldwide,like a big Web, contact us in your own language, I did my bit. Did you do anything to answer the question in a short non blah blah way showing the path to link them to the right sources, in this case, a big mf grow light manufacturer in China, don't be jealous I'm a great great granny

Hey grannie... Asia is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres. It shares the continental landmass of Eurasia with the continent of Europe, and the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with Africa and Europe. I'm going to say yes I did....
