YES I NEED TO SHOUT THIS!
OK .....now lookie here.....do NOT go DIY. It is a TOTAL drain of ca$h moe-nay! You will also spend AEONS on here reading and marvelling and getting depressed at how ignorant and incapable you are in comparison to some of the geniusessesessess on here......urgh it's soul destroying at times.
I say this because I KNOW this.......I have built and tinkered and developed and grown and MacGyvered $$$s worth of COBs and I am still buying more.....it's an addiction.
So step away from the DIY bomb. Go buy yourself a KIND light....or better yet a SpectrumKing. Get disappointed real quick and then save yourself the $$$$s you'll end up spending in your attempt to outshine the sun.
Trust me, HPS, MH etc are no competition for a true DIYer.....the SUN is our only true competitor!
In conclusion:
DIY looks cheap - it IS theoretically cheap - but you will ALWAYS get addicted and spend a fortune (think meth vs cocaine)
DIY looks easy - it IS easy - but you will ALWAYS marvel at how someone else's creation, forcing you to try harder and ...spend more money!
DIY means you CAN control your FULL spectrum - but you will NEVER stop tinkering and this will .....you guessed it......make you spend more money!
Buying ready-made-Chinese-Takeaway-Alibaba-Rebranded-Lumens-Based-Warehouse-Donwnlight-Blurple-horsesh*t units from fly-by-night-cowboy-here-today-gone-tomorrow-operators will save you money and heartache.
PS - please go DIY.....because it will mean for those first few attempts you won't be as "good" as me and I won't be the ridiculous newbie that I am
PPS - I don't actually grow weed.......I grow fruit and veg and culinary herbs......which is even more pathetic I suppose.
