X-mas in March. New kind k5 LEDs

First grow and so undecided where to start or end. Amazon I power 600watt hps were my first choice then I went to Mars hydro LEDs now to the new 1000 watt k5's from kind.

Parden the mess and terrible room photo. I had all sorts of ventilation going on trying to kick the heat issue of so much power being generated. Anyways I swore up and down I was going to go super small and ended up pissing off my wife and a huge bill. The plants are 35 days old. Auto flowers, dinafem critical, Girl Scout cookies and some vast and fast. All in 7 gallon air pots with promix hpcc soil. Biobizz nutrients and some handy scrog contraptions from job lot. Thanks to all the helpful info posted on this forum I decided to go balls deep in my first grow. Think the plants look good, healthy and just started to flower.
After a long ass day at work I arrived home to see Santa delivered yet again. As for the choice in the k5's I have a good friend using 2750 watts from kind and he has amazing results so far. Without doing months of research I just decided to follow and pray.

Input is always welcome and thanks to everyone here for all of your knowledge I learned so much from.

Just so your aware your gonna get a lot of crap for goin with Mars led. But your plants do look good as far as can be seen in super "blurple"

Thank you for the warning lord.

I actually just took out the Mars hydros. I was surprised to read the sticker on the panels talking about leaving positive feedback. It's almost like these things are only sold on eBay.

The k5's are massive! I was constantly adjusting the 1 hps and 2 Mars hydros to gain maximum coverage and after some time of this I was still disappointed in coverage area.

You spent nearly 4000 dollars on 2 panels that are 600w actual

Needless to say, for that cost you could've done so much better

Hydro builder had a sale. 2820 shipped for 2 but yes I agree with some research and time I probably could have. I'm my area growing is fairly new, lol well as far as I know it is. I went off of proven yields from a very close friend. For a smaller grow doing autos only I feel the LED was a good choice. Kind led may be another topic. I was sold on features and ease of use. Adjustable spectrum, footprint and the remote. We all know the remote feature is worth 1/2 the cost.

My friends have the 1000w K5s. They are nice panels, probably nicest ones you can buy. But they really are at the top of the price bracket.

Sell the kinds and throw 2 of these in your tent and be done with it.

2 of those would blow away the kinds and at half the cost

Got any pics under normal lighting? Id love to see those beauties for real.

Can't believe you spent like that for those. I know everyone's getting tired of hearing about cxb3590 s but damn what you coulda built for that money coulda been fucking incredible...

But still.. Nice plants? I think lol, god im stoned

Yea it does.

Sexiest 1000w system I've seen, and that light controller

This was the plants before the new LEDs went in. Under a mh and 2 Mars 600's

I will get some new ones tonight after work.

Almost seems like it's taken time for them to adjust. A few stems and flowers are starting to pop right up.
