What grow light brand do you actually trust for tropical plants and why did you ditch the others?
I've been running an apartment jungle of monsteras, calatheas and ferns and needed something predictable through winter. I tried cheap blurple panels and a Mars Hydro, plants got leggy, tips browned and one unit fried after a season so I ditched them. I now trust HLG because the spectrum actually looks natural, the drivers are solid and the units run cool with even coverage, my Calathea stopped curling within weeks. If you switched from cheap LEDs which model did you end up buying for taller tropicals and what finally made you give up on the cheap stuff?
