315 Lec And 2 Kind L300 Leds 4×4 Tent?

[grohio]

Hey farmers, got a quick question about lighting in my flower tent. At the moment I am running 2 kind l300s on ratchet ropes. There working good but the footprint doesnt seem to spread the whole 4×4 space. My local garden store guy has 315 watt lec setups for 400 bucks. Im wondering if i put a 315 lec in the center and run the kinds beside it if i could just hang em at the highest point in my tent so i can get a good spread and still be enough intensity to get the most out of my ladies? Also, is the lec and the led too closely related of spectrums? Would I be better off mixing hps with led?

The lec 315 are badass its better to have the lights side by side. 400 is a very good price for 12ov with flower bulb, best price ive seen.

Thanks for the input @Fishmaster42. He told me the brand but i forget. They were a little different then the ones i have been seeing. It came with a really long cord so you could run the ballast outside the tent. Or it was able to be attached to the hood as well. And it came with a hood a lot like the more common lec fixtures i have seen. But he also offers the option of different hoods. For more money of course.

Also, i didnt ask about the bulb. I only thought there was one type of lec bulb. I will have to talk to him again about it.

@Fishmaster42, are you saying that you think the idea i proposed would work well?

Jump on that shit asap. Great price and you get better PAR and fuller spectrum with lec, done deal in my mind. Run the lec in middle like you said and run those leds on either side and in a 4x4 you will slay it with that setup!!!!

Ok @jumpincactus, im liking what im hearing. I might pull the trigger on this monday.

@jumpincactus, do you think i can put at the highest point possible in my tent and still get good results?

Would not steer you wrong man. Guys are killin it with lec, and then add your leds as well. I'm jealous LOL

why would you want to do that? With lower heat output with lec you can run them closer to your canopy without a lot of heat issues you get with MH or HPS

How close are you thinking @jumpincactus? If i get closer then 18 inches or so with the kinds i get light bleaching on my tops.

Well now, the leds thats a different story you have to play around and find your sweet spot. To avoid bleaching. I was just sayin with the LEC 315 you wont have to go all the way to the top of your tent as they run cooler than HID lighting. Unless of course you grow a monster and have to run it all the way up due to losing headspace. Did that make sense?

 

[Fishmaster42]

The best price i could get thus far has been 440 bucks

How are you digging those lecs bro. I'm sure with a more complete spectrum you are seeing a huge diff in your overall plant growth and health, correct??

 

[grohio]

Nice link @Fishmaster42. He had those in his shop too. His price was 549.00. I think the one he has for 400 the bulb was mounted horizontally and not vertically. Ive heard that the bulbs are meant to be ran vertically.

they are real close to a 1000 hps for yield or the same saves money for sure. i still got a bunch of hps mixed in and even a MH1000 in the middle isle
