Really my results beg to differ most all LEDs are made in China so you can pay more for the higher priced LEDs with the same lights as the cheaper ones you just have to look at what you buy. These people asked about the cheaper LEDs and mine work awesome

You've made it perfectly clear that you have no idea what you're talking about.

To the OP: Do yourself a favor and don't take advice from this Dabber character. get a 315, a quantum kit, or a kit from Timber.

I am orginally looking to get two lights at cover a 4x4 area and supply about 800 watts each making it about 1600 watts per table. Money is not really an issue.

1, 800 real watts of highly efficient LED is overkill if that's all over one 4x4.
2, Money is not an issue... Holy tit fucks that makes a nice change to hear...

Get yourself a HLG 550 or 2 x 260w quantum board kits (per 4x4) and never look back. Super efficient white LEDs are what its all about these days.

NO NOT BUY cheap blurple like mars or expensive blurple lights like Black dog.
Yes they grow weed, so what, so does any light, its not magic. But you may a well buy the best there is going.

HLG all day long and just to prove I'm not totally biased check out ChilLED too.

hoping for at least 10 zips from them all, some have said more but I'm trying to be realistic. I've read good things about the 320 and have seen on other forums great results with the Mars lights. Like I said most all LEDs are made in China and IMO if you look carefully at what your getting you can find a light to fit your budget

what 4 lights only used 900 for 1st grow

The 4 lights you listed on page 1 of this thread consume approximately 1250 watts.

Even so, you're recommending somebody get a 900 watt setup that you hope will get 10 ounces? Why? What did the poor guy do to you?

BTW - You're doing it wrong. Watt for watt, the blurples you're using are about equivalent to 600 and 100 HIDs. I still rock a single 600 in a 4x4 - it's my last light to get updated which will be happening in the next month or two, getting Samsung panels to replace it. Anyway, I'm averaging 18 to 20 ounces off this room using 300 watts less than your current setup. Still, a decent 600 watt setup runs cheaper than your blurple lights.

There's some math to be done here. Make sure to carry the 1.

Looks like a 3x3 or 4x4?
Not going to knock your grow, apart from looking a bit unhealthy thems the chunkiest buds ive seen using that type of light.

I haven't pulled less than 25oz in half my flower tent using 2 x 260w Quantum board kits from 4 plants since I switched from HPS. Could easy bump that up considerably if I wasn't so worried about plant count.
I pulled 37oz from the other half my flowering tent with 660 cob watts. (total tent size 4x8)

I think if moneys not an problem (as op stated) there is no need to use anything but the most efficient lighting these days. That's what makes the difference between 1gpw and 1.5gpw, seen people pull a fair bit higher too.

Anyhow, apologies for my tone yesterday, new years eve, drunk and high.
I don't agree with your choices of light suggestions but happy growing regardless. Keep pulling them chunky buds.

For HID,
3x3= 400W
4x4=600W
5x5 or 4x6 = 1000W

work out your equivalent to this....
