There is always the debate for when you do your shopping. If you buy early you are probably going to pay the top price but you have the best selection. If you buy later you might get better prices as vendors generally want to get rid of things, but all the cherry stuff might be sold out. I...
LOL I have not seen 500w MH before. Ok, so the 120w led units are probably the same as 250w mh (give or take a lot, like are they 3w vs 1w, lenses, led types, etc etc) so take that into play. The nice thing is you can run them all day, less heat, less electricity, better spectrum. Over a 90g...
