Yep, harvested on day 55 after she popped her head above soil. I used Fox Farm base and advanced line of nutrients in Ocean Forest soil and 5 gal smart pot. 450w LED

Sounds real smart Dan. I've currently got a mix of CFLs and 2 LED e27 bulbs to give it abit extra spectrum. Very limited with budget and also controlling heat.. I want to just get a cheap LED panel but don't have a clue what to look for lol

Mars is cheap.. and does the job well from what I've seen. Pretty much any LED will grow a plant, even cheapo's from Fleabay or Slamazon, but in most cases you get what you pay for. COB LED's put off the least amount of heat and have the truest footprint but cost significantly more. If heat is an issue stay away from 5watt LED chips.

I'd much rather pay a premium price for a reputable brand, than take the risk of burning my house down with a LED company that cuts corners and uses untested or unapproved materials and practices. Just my .02 though

But arnt some of the mars on eBay fake though? I just want something for about £50 for my one plant or maybe two is that possible? Or am I looking more £100+ and what is best for low heat?
 
I don't know if they are fake or not, but I'm sure there is a high probability. I'm not sure what you could get in that range. I paid a lot more than that for my 450watt. Lol. But I trust it and it's warranty.

There are a lot of guys on this site that are way more techy techy than I am. I think there is an LED discussion thread as well. It'd be in the "Lighting" section. I'll see if I can find it.

Again mate great appreciation! The onlymthing that concerns me is the temp.. I have just osculating fan no in take or outtake because it is in a built in wardrobe so don't want to start making holes in the wall or door lol so when lights are on I tend to keep the door open so it gets fresh air.. Would you have any suggestions pal?
 
Mate all i have is a fan in my tent .i have all vents open and unzip top of doors if needed to cool temps.iv never had exhaust fan and u seen how happy my garden is dude;) these lights give off little heat thats the great thing about them.i have my tent fan and lights and thats me good to go.so once u got lights u have all u need;)
 
Also get 1 of these humdifiers mate might find them on ebay or at local store in the uk. These are great and last 3 month mate so time of a grow.and u can buy refills mate off ebay very cheap.reusable to a very good buy and saves waisting money on an electric humidifier;)
