BuildASoil: FULL REVIEW FLORAFLEX 700W GROW LIGHT / UNBOXING / FULL SPECTRUM LED (Product Highlight)

[@mopar426power]

Im a week away from another stellar harvest. Thank you Jeremy and BAS crew for inspiring me to start growing years ago. It really changed my life and gave me a passion/hobby/lifestyle that I didn't know existed and one that I certainly had no idea I would love this much. You all are Rockstars! 🤙💚🤙💚

[@timsmyth7942]

after many years of watching jeremy speak, he finally said “height” correctly. this made my day 🙏

[@Masterseven77]

Must find him saying height immidiately

[@meaganrobley2660]

I love my Flora Flex light it crushes. This will be my third harvest with it coming up and I couldn’t be happier with it .

[@AkaTomCruze]

I just got one from BAS. It came a little beat up from fedex. Works fine. The plants seem to be loving it in my 5x5.

Young lad Jeremy getting bullied for pushing mongo while riding a poser skateboard is a mental image I never could have predicted popping into my life. Thanks for the laugh and all the knowledge over the years.

Nash was my first back in 1986.

Hi Jeremy and BAS Family!! Please please PLEASE continue to do these type of comparison video between whats considered a top tier product vs it’s more economic but sufficient alternative! Love BAS! Since day1! #Day1s

[@timpage5021]

Best light for the money . Even if you swapped out the driver for a Meanwell or Inventronics you still got a sweet deal. I think these can be hot swapped too ( the bars ). . Florfkex been around a long time so there is comfort in the warranty. It’s already got a great driver . I like Sosen . Thdy work great. Cord management is sleek as well .

[@Anthophile7320]

Its about time somebody did it, grow lights are way too expensive for what you get.

I've not used their lights but I love their nutrients. It's nice to see people helping out new growers. Now we just got stop with the "these genetics are too good for anyone else to have." The more good stuff that's going around the less trash there will be.

[@timpage5021]

I can speak to the blue spectrum. I got the Mammoth 6 bar with EVO canna green chips and its s blue white light to it. And already noticed after a couple runs the stretch is minimal so it makes sense . It’ll help with stretch. All those chips running at a lower current will hejp keep it cool too. Agree 100% 6-900 for flower is perfect

[@timothykappel198]

It also has the new samsung mint white leds. Kingbrite is the only other fixture with the mint white and emerald green diodes

[@Crawdaddy1420]

Will this be better than my 2 315cmh’s 😮❤

[@timpage5021]

@@timothykappel198 think that’s what my nephews buddy is growing with. Kingbrite mint . I just couldn’t deal with Alibaba .. That and shipping was free here in the states. I’m not sure about the driver though or the connection components and cabling if they’re the same or not. Do know the Mammoth is a Inventronics driver and marine grade water proof connections. Smooth. Coukd be on the Kingbrite too he has but again not certain tho.

[@timothykappel198]

@timpage5021 it uses an inventronics driver too. Now I'm not sure about the other components. I'd have to have access to both lights to see and feel the quality differences.

[@timothykappel198]

@@timpage5021 I'd assume we are gonna see other brands start using mint white and emerald green diodes in the future also. Just takes awhile for them to sell out old stock and re-design their fixtures. Take hlg for example it took them years to create a bar style fixture. Samsung created the mint white diodes for a reason.

[@Dramatik4Real]

bro, i had a nash in 89 before i got my first lucero from the skate shop. loved picking the grip tape, trucks, wheels ect lol

[@kenanderson2216]

I've been using a Photontek CO2 1000. I only use 5 bulbs and they've been great for 3 or 4 grows now. And I have 5 spare bulbs/strips since I am only using 5 of the 10 bulbs.. You can move the lights on the track in different positions. I recommend it. Kinda spendy though.

[@jansondennis2438]

nice 👌 mate

[@5thAve_Ricky]

Hows the compatibility of these lights with some controllers?

[@brandoncinpubadj]

I have 2 SZHLUX 500 watt lights (amazon). I love these and they are slightly cheaper and better. They do get pretty warm though running 2 in my 4x8 tent..

[@davidbinet869]

What don’t you try grand master lighting? The tarantula borg or or tarantula predator for pest control

[@MrAlcapown]

Although the Luxx 645s are older they are pretty standard and still good lights. I ran side by side with Luxx 645. In my opinion this one is better so far.

[@argontreper8524]

What size tent?

[@patmele2078]

Love all your knowledge ! What is. The wattage from the outlet ?

[@Chris-cq5dy]

Very nice light

[@richfiryn]

For someone on a budget wanting to do a 6-10 light grow this is a fantastic option.

[@billybethel]

not really. medic grow has full spectrum fold 800 watt LED grow lights for only $279.99. You'd save $600-$1000 by buying medic grow fold 800 lights and you'd end up ith 600-1000 more watts too

[@JamesMollett-e6q]

THANK U B.A.S TEAM AND THEEEE MAN, JEREMY... I have a crazy confession... i had always grown outdoors until 2017... I wanted to do indoor really bad for many reasons, 1 its not a green state and another is i do it all myself... anywho long story short i ended up buying 2 led next light mega's... tbh i dont think they have ever been turned off since 2017... it would be awesome if u could cover these lights in 1 of ur shows... yes, i certainly need to upgrade and thats why im watching these videos but i watch and appreciate all ur videos.. thanks Jeremy and B.A.S team.. ✌️ 🫡

[@lightbeing1370]

This light looks really really good. The price is unmatched. I need to get this 😍

[@grateful1185]

Can you take a couple bars out and still run this light to avoid the massive hot spot towards the center?

[@vedacarmony5754]

I sometimes disconnect light bars on my Mars Hydro FC-6500 when the entire area doesn't need it.

[@Le_Brick420]

For EACH grow light, how about the monthly electric bill when turned up all the way? Inquiring minds want to know not ONLY the cost of the fixture BUT what it will cost them on a grow for the electric bill and close as possible to the numbers. With that in mind, I think fixtures would be selling more than normal. Too bad this is not a standard approach in the market today. Another good one Jeremy.

[@FarmerBrown420]

I bought my first tent from Amazon and it was not good i had go buy a 300$ light to flower my plants it had a 150w light for a 3x3

[@hudcummings2979]

Indeed, J; Guru of living soil, shopping on Amazon is a nightmare; and I know not just for me (retired postal worker who experienced a mind wipe aka went postal) so Thanks for doing this. In love with that Floraflex. And yeah I've had my experience with sad grow lights. Thanks again! Really looking forward to the comparison grow but I hope to grab one of these asap anyway. Also very much looking forward to the curing/smoking report for that awesome looking "platinum purple weslo sour" = your words. Mouth is still watering from watching the partial harvest last weekend. What a lovely grow season 7 has been.

[@jansondennis2438]

your such a valuable man give your mom and dad a huge hug🫂

[@Joe-mt6uu]

Nice work. Improve the price and more will get involved 🎉

[@spaceman1528]

Loving the highlight videos bra

[@vedacarmony5754]

No one mentions the dimming function. In reality, it matters. Manufacturer says 0-10v, but not the increments. It's probably in 25% steps, not 10% like my Mars Hydro FC-E6500. AC Infinity has adapters for both, if you're using their controller. Smaller increments means better control without raising or lowering the light. But it is very efficient, and with a 5 year warranty, it should pay for itself long before it expires. Definitely worth it.

wish you guys had a 2x4 grow tent kit under 500 i am in the market but i dont have 500 to spend i just know a good light cost more than the tent while 1200 is not a bad price for all you get in that kit i just dont have that much money

When are they coming out with a 350 watt light for the 2x4 grow tent?

Amazon has a 720 watt grow light for under $200. Can you test that light?

[@pekbekmkek6310]

jeremy already started researching which cheap light you mean. dont stress yourself giving any info that would make it easy to know what light you mean. an amazon 720w led for 200 surely will be a great product and in now way chinese trash that just claims to be 720watt.

[@MrDart1960]

what’s your thoughts on led for your veg tent and HPS for your flower (2 tent homegrow setup) since hps still seems to give off better quality (if you’re maxing a small space). would it make sense to use an HPS light if energy efficiency and temp control are already mitigated or would LED still be better?

[@diezelvh4133]

Hps is always better for every stage.

[@OperationNorthwoods]

I'm a newbie. I thought the light fixtures needed to be kept about 18" above the plant. How can the light do any good if it is kept so far above the plant?

[@patarmstrong3582]

Because it's bright enough to burn the plant. Yeah, it's that bright. Bright enough that at 100 percent it'll burn them at 30 inches if they're the wrong variety.

I’m sorry but the light thing is just really sickening 😢 I have what is supposed to be the best, grandmaster and I also have mars hydro and a bloom plus and I get the same results from them all. Not even on paper is there a difference. I still average 6 ounces per plant with 23-25%thc and 4% terps no matter what light they grow under. They all use the same exact thing. You are only paying the idiot to put it together and for what they charge they aren’t worth it. My best light is a $100 320w led from farmlite😂4 years old still makes the same output as day one has Samsung diodes and osram with uv and far red. Why would I spend thousands when I can pay a few hundred and get the same if not better results. Yea I said better as many of you with these big lights always end up doing more damage to your plants than good with all the extra power😂

[@Mr.Terpy719]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheSnowbo83]

I looked at getting this one. I ended up going with the Mars hydro 800 Evo diode light. Instead. I already had the Mars hydro. Kevin :30 with the Samsung non-evo horticulture diodes. Thanks for the video and review. Might pick this up from my friend for his birthday that has an upgrade for him

[@gargoylekingGWO]

Once u compare them to GML you will see what quality of quantity means GML for the win all day everyday

[@KamiKomplex504]

I don't believe in passive LED cooling. Even with high efficiency low heat diodes, all of them last longer and run better at lower temps. Point a fan up towards the lights and ventilate off that hot air, don't just let it radiate into the plant canopy and sit around getting hot.
