I like this one.
Growcraft X3 - 500 Watt DIY LED Grow Light Kit - Chilled Tech - LED Grow Lights & Spectrum Control (chilledgrowlights.com)

If youi order from them I can save youi money...Ask for Leland or Austin tell them Ronnie Sent you..Ask for B stock..This will save you another 100 bucks. B stock is the rails are scuffed or scratched, nothing more..The lights are otherwise perfect and have the same warranty...

Which option did you choose for spectrum?

$1020 bucks for a 600 watt 4x4 , kinda pricey eh

a 600w quantum digital adjustable ballast and a horticultural HPS bulb for $190 , I could pay a lot of electrical bills before I got to a thousand dollars

I'd contact them, but I think one is veg and the other full spectrum?

Hi All.
I am looking at getting back into growing now that the country I live in has made it legal to do so at home. I think I will be sticking to Autos at the start just for convenience and familiarity. I was looking at a 120x120x200 cm tent which should be an ok size, My previous grow was done in a 100x100x200 and I could just about get 3 in there.

If you're going for the 120 size, I would suggest the taller 220 tents so you have the extra headroom for growing some taller plants later on. The price is essentially the same.

Have you any links to your current set up I could check out? I think I will need to do a fair amount of reading to catch up on all the new specs and tech.

How is your progress gone do you want some more insight I may have a few avenues that could help you if you're interested
