Will def check them out mate. Was nearly gonna private mail u to ask about them because I remember seeing u recently changed to CDMs. Thought £100 for the kit would be too goo to be trueNanook of the north wrote:No. I bought omegas very cheap with lamps... Like £160 per kit with reflector... But they come seller dependant with years of warranty. Worth looking at maybe? :)
So far dude CDM is way in the lead very closely followed by HPS. The LED is leaps behind them both :(Keeno wrote:I have no idea with CDM mate, but I'm very interested to see the comparison grows.
had been dying to see it for ages Thank you for all that info Viz really appreciate some in sight. I wasn’t too sure of the £99 kit as the one I have the bulb alone is £99 lol think I’m gonna bite the bullet and get another couple of the one I already have. It’s £270 for the full kit but reakon it will be well worth it in the endViz wrote:I have a half dozen CDM lamps. I have used four different ballasts. Some are shit.
Omega and Maxibright.
Do not buy any ballast that has the dimmer function. Shyte.
Lamps are what are dear. If you can buy the best get them - Phillips Agro Green Power. This is the only one that I will buy. Costs twice as much as the cheap knock offs but you do get what you pay for. £95 each.
The other Phillips 315W lamps of which there are two will do the job but are NOT the one designed for growing. They are cheaper but some dealers sell them for the same price and con folks who do not know the difference.
Cheapest Ballast I have found is £52 from Spain, and £60 Elite Flowering is the brand. Search terms CDM ballast on ebay.
I have to agree - having grown with CDM the last three/four years and owning Quantum panels I would select CDM every time ahead of the rest.
