Blurple LEDs

NOTE: The Mars Hydro Reflector Series has been discontinued. They were replaced by Mars' far better TS and SP Series lights. Those are quantum style white LED fixtures. Mars no longer sells any "blurple" LEDs. If you want a "blurple" light, the BestVA Double Chip series are the best option. Mars Hydro lies. Their Reflector series lights are great and some of the … [Read more...] about Mars Hydro Reflector Series LED Grow Light Review

I'm going to do things a bit different in this review. Before I launch into a detailed review of the Higrow 2000w double chip LED grow light, I'm going to do a comparison.

BestVA LED grow lights are not as powerful as they claim. Let's get that out of the way immediately. Like all Chinese manufacturers, BestVA are not honest about their light. I don't know why all Chinese brands do this, but I find it extremely frustrating. Especially because the lights are often very good. These certainly are. They're just not as good as … [Read more...] about BestVA LED Grow Light Review (Double Chip Series)

Galaxy Hydro is no more. The company was bought up by Roleadro. Thankfully, they kept some of the lights alive in their Galaxyhydro Series. The Galaxy Hydro 600 is gone, but the Galaxyhydro 2000 pictured here and reviewed below is basically the same light, in terms of features and price.

If you take the price into consideration, it may actually be a better … [Read more...] about King Plus 1000 Watt LED Grow Light Review
