Growbrite Plant Lights

[Mushaman]

Hi

does anyone have any experience with these ?

I am looking at getting 2 - they come in 2700K flowering and 14,000 ultra blue for vegging - supposed to be able to get them really close and they generate very minimal heat - could suit my grow room really well :scratchin

Hiya Mushaman

 

I bought one of these about a week ago so it is a bit early to tell to be honest - have only got 10 day old seedlings under it at this stage.

 

I bought the 130 w spectrum flouro and got the 2700k bulb - had choice of 2700 6500 and 14000. I choose the 2700 as I am growing Lowryder and friends that autoflower, all going well I will use this as supplemental light with a 400 watt HPS for my next (and more serious grow)

 

From what I could tell these bulbs put out about 10,000 lumens - not bad for a flouro. I have a two foot grow tube that puts out just short of 1000 so when you compare it is pretty good. Nothing on a HPS though.

 

Doesn't seem to put out much heat and is great for a stealth grow - but I can't comment on results at this early stage I'm afraid.

 

I have attached a piccy that sort of shows the bulb in action.

 

I reckon the 14000 k bulb would be pretty awesome thats very blue... hence a hit with the coral reef aquarium nuts.

I just discovered another disadvantage of airponics .. I bumped the plug for the nte solution pump and the roots hung in the air drying for about 5 hours yesterday - looks like they're fighting back now but they looked sad when I first noticed something was wrong - airponics is fast tho' they are nearly doubling in size every 48 hours

I'll post some more pix in a day or so.

i reckon these lights are the go from grows ive seen and storys i have heard... what prices are u guys paying? ive seen the 130watters for $55 here in sydney no socket

[Mushaman]

the ones I have - 2700w red flowering and I think its 13,000 or 14,000w blue/white veggin (hmm maybe thats the 130w you mentioned) - pretty sure I paid $120 or $130 per ... where did you see em for $55?

[noobeedoobee]

Hey,

 

I am still more than happy with my 2700k - I will get a 14000 k to start my next gro.

 

I paid $65 from this online store... (No affliation !)

 

None of my local guys stocked it or would match the price.

I've seen them on Ebay with reflectors through Gold Coast Hydrocentre also.

Heya NobeeDoo

too late for me - I have 4 of them now - 2 blue 2 red .. although I notice one of the reds is a lot reder than the other when I go see my hydro guy again .. armed with this info on Growbrite prices I'll be seeing about some much better prices on future purchases ... or maybe not :: thanks for the link dude .. and :whistling how's the LR going ? got any new pix?
