Building a HQ LED System on a Budget

Most people buying led panels are budget minded, and frankly, not up speed on the adv hype and lies, primarily employed by chinese manufacturers and even more heartless resellers

At this very minute, people are buying these lights to grow MJ, when, for the same money, or starting with the same money (then adding additional lights as money permits) quality options are available from several USA companies

A51 now offers a 75w panel for $250. Seems like a lot of money for such low wattage, but...

these 75ws will run circles around the typical 200-250 chinese panel, AND, last for years to come

I am currently using a BML SPYDR 600 and 2 BML Light bars

The BML led lights provides huge flexibility between various lengths starting at 12" and up as well as choosing your own spectrums

Importantly, the individual bars can be positioned vertically or horizontally

Today I repositioned my 2 @ 3ft BML bars from horizontal supplemental top light to vertical side lighting to better light my smaller plant, the body of which is much farther from the SPYDR than her top cola

Will post pics in a day or two. In the meantime, come by my thread to see BML in action
