Hi guy if you had let say 150 to 200 extra to spend which led light would you buy?
I already own a 300w mars hydro and its doing great along with a gazillion cfls but I would like to add another led to the bunch and i was hoping if you guys can help me with my decision since I am new to leds and I have zero knowledge on this .
The top 3 brands that i found with a good amount of positive reviews within my budget was Meizhi viparspectra and mars hydro
Thanks to all
I have a Mars 300 and a vipatspectra 300…i can’t tell u which is better but, the viper has more white lights than the Mars… My new purchase will be a 900w MEIZHI…
it’s hard to beat for 189 shipped
Wow you really cant

I have a 1000 watt king plus and 2 Meizhi 450 watt reflector series and I love the Meizhi lights mine were 109 when I got them on Amazon with a veg and bloom switch
they are 195 true watts and my 1000 w king is only a few more than that

Yea men. I am debating between the meizhi 450 or 600 and the viparspectra 450 or 600 mars hydro not so much because their policy on warranty and repair is kinda weird
I hear some bad things about mars…the tech is okay but what i understand they have trouble with whole portions of led’s just stop working. If you ask me thats a risk i wont take, so i use 2 galaxy hydro 300 w with a few cfls for added support and assorted color temps for 6 plants hardy and worked fine…not sure about the other brand you mentioned, but the reviews on the galaxys are all good as far as i could tell, but i feel they are l better suited in flower with mostly red but still good for veg with added cfls. Hope that helped in some way…lol…goodluck! Oh they also a have a few UV leds in each galaxy light and ive never had a mold issue, even the biggest buds have never had a problem…knock on wood.

I have a Mars 2 900w 421w actual draw and a 600w hps in my tent I like them both. but to stay on topic. I love the Mars 2 it is a really good buy if you do get one I paid 328$ for the Mars 2 900w. it’s good up to I would say a 3x3 or a 3.5x3.5ft max flowering spread. first grow yielded 19 oz off the Mars 2. 6 plants in a 5x5 scrog. 2mo veg 2.5mo flower. nector for the gods full nute line. I’m new to the site I thought this was a fake site still have to order seeds we will see how that goes but all is good so far. my Mars 2 900w is 10 months old no issues so far. very well built

@bigtimers227 just got my first Nectar for the gods line . How long have you been using this line of nutrients? So far I am loving what I see . Hope it stands up to the fox farms trio for results. Seeing as how they dont use salts as a stabilizer there should be no build up . A couple less flushes sounds good to me

If nothing else, it looks damn coo! 
hands down way better then the fox farm I run the nector for the gods pro level feed schedule. I recommend getting all the bottles and following exactly what there schedule says. I also run microbe life nutrient line. slf-100 every week to break down the existing buildup of the very little salts that come into play when using the NFTG line also I mix 5ml of nourish-L 2 times a week and 15ml of photosynthesis plus 1 time a week

yes you made a very good purchase on that light! Mars 2 all the way
I also use microbe. Photosynthesis, nourish L and fruit and yield enhancer with fox farm base nutrients. I love it I was using 5 ml per gallon then I upped it to 20ml per gallon and it really blew up but I might just stay at around 5 to 10 ml
