Does sf make a 150?For a 2x4x5 tent I would go for 2 x 150watt lights from Spider Farmer (because they are forum sponsors and have a discount for members)
I wouldn't really go higher than 300w because it is only 5 ft tall/short... I did chuck 3x150w in my 2x4x6 ft tent myself though.... LOL
I'm interested in the es300 or maybe one half that...but I'm wondering if mine (2 Philzon 1200w led) are good enough to run 2 blue dream autos and get a solid yield?For a 2x4x5 tent I would go for 2 x 150watt lights from Spider Farmer (because they are forum sponsors and have a discount for members)

I think they rate at 240 and 241 each, which seems like that should be enough, as I said I have a few grows in but nowhere near the yields I see online. That said, I feel like I've learned alot and am ready to try and get more efficentcy in my grows and hopefully improve my yields. I've ordered a meter, that should help dial things in a bit too.I don't know what the real wattage of the Philzon are but even if they were only a genuine 120w each they would do a very good job in a 2x4x5 I'm sure, no need to spend money
Nice looking grow! The Philzon 1200 lights look like they are pushing out enough for 1 plant each. Actual draw says 241, I can't verify that because I'm not sure how to test for it honestly, but I picked up a meter Dr Meter LX 1332B that says it measures LEDs . So I took my measurements and converted then using an online calculator. As far as heat, yes that's a concern too, no problem in my big tent but my closet grow runs from 65 f at night to 85f during lights on, I don't have a humidifier just yet I wanted to see how it all ran without it, (since I had to add a small personal AC which blows out a fine mist) but my RH is low, even with the ac running, topping out around 40%. I've had these lights for a few grows and they seem to run a little hotter this run. Anyway, I'm gonna keep going with these until I can afford the electric sky 180, I think that will bring my yields up to where I want them.I'm sorry I' don't have any feedback for those Philzon's but I'd be interested to know the true wattage of them and how much heat they generate in a small space like that.
For me, I grow in an Spider Farmer 2x4 (28x55x80) tent, and I know a lot of the guys around here like the Spider Farmer LEDS (as mentioned above), but I took a chance on the ViparSpectra P2500 (250w) for less than $200. Have not completed a grow with them yet, but I'm mildly impressed with how well these Indicas are responding at 22". My footprint grow area is about 2' x 3' and that's about the limit on the P2500. I'll cut the distance in half for flower and see how things shake out. But if this P2500 can pull this off, I think this brand is great cost-effective LED with balls. Potential balls. Little potential ballsbut we'll see.
I dove into my first hydro-grow head first, dumped $2K+ and choose to take a chance on a cheaper brand based on a bunch of rave reviews. I'm sure I'm the first to ever do something like that! So far so good, but if I run into issues while in flower I'll swap these lights so fast for the Spider Farmer's my head will spin. Here's to VS's "potential little balls".
