Hi everyone,
I grow a variety of cacti, succulent, and mesemb plants! I do so outdoors during the summer and fall months and when things get cooler, all the plants have to come indoors. Unfortunately most of these plants NEED consistently high light to grow normally and flower. Unfortunately very few growers in this field have experimented with LED's even though these are more efficient than high output t5's which are often recommended. I am here hoping to learn from all you and find something that will work for my plants!
My goal is to find affordable full spectrum LED's to cover a 36x18 grow space, and if possible ones that arent neon magenta as my growspace is next to a large south window and no tent....![Help Smile :helpsmilie: :helpsmilie:](/community/styles/420style/smilies/helpsmilie.gif)
![Skeptical :skeptical: :skeptical:](/community/styles/420style/smilies/18.gif)
(I know this might be a longshot).
Would having a neon magenta light near a window like that be problematic.... sigh.
I was evaluating the Mars Hydro300 and Mars Hydro600 -
Are there affordable LEDS for growing that are not neon magenta?
If there are links in the forum to great lights or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
