How's everyone doing at ICmag today? I've been a longtime lurker but this will be one of my first posts on this forum in a looong time, I spent my early years on OG and have expanded my resource base to a few other forums out there since.
I've been growing for about 7-8 years at this point, for years just whatever bagseed I could get but now I'm rocking some Divine Genetics as well as some Alien gear, couldn't be happier.
Today I pose a simple (haha, nothings simple with growing, right?) question about the Pro Grow series of LEDs from Hydroponics Hut http://www.hydroponicshut.com/pro-grow-led-grow-lights.html.
I'm looking at getting one or possibly two of their lamps but can't decide on what route to go, maybe some IC insight might help.
I run a 2x2 SJ tent, normally with a 400 watt switchable and I have a veg/clone tent running a 4 tube PL-L from HTG. Temps are just unmanageable in the tent with the 400 but those harvest #'s are undeniable. I'm very interested in the Pro Grow 400 with an advertised actual draw of 240 watts at $579. However, I could also purchase 2 of the Pro Grow 180's with an advertised draw of 160watts (this has been seen as 150 watts on a kill-a-watt meter) at $289 a piece with their "bulk" purchase deal adding up to $578 for 300-320 actual draw wattage.
Now, does anyone have any experience with one or both of these lamps and if you do, or even if not, can you offer any help in what should sway my decision?
Thanks in advance for the insight on this topic as well as all the knowledge I've siphoned off ICmag in the past.
