Been awhile but I got some el cheapo LEDs off Amazon and they look to be doing great so far I have 2 welkey 2000 watters and a mars hydro think it’s 720. We are 4 weeks from flip so about 2ish weeks into flower
Proof will be in the pudding fella , never count your chickens.
Cheap lights will grow well if you use enough , which is where most people fall down, second stumble is if they decide to stop working half way though.
Seen some incredible plants grown with cheap lights though.
They'll work, but how well compared to decent lights is probably the biggest question.
I've seen lots of them ruined by the unit failures (fans go out & LEDs burn up).
They'll likely not equal the newer tech lights for sure.
Looking forward to seeing how they look in another several weeks....
