Hydro and Auto for the first grow? That's your first and second mistake imo. But I like your confidence. You go dude!

I use a Mars hydro ts1000 for a 2x4 veg space. It's not the best but it has zero issues in that space.

I have a 240W lm301b QB arriving Saturday for a 2x4 flower space. If you're only flowering in a 2x2 you can get by with 150W easily. The mars hydro also can be fully dimmed or even pushed to 175W, but i don't recommend that as you'll be burning up the driver pretty fast.

Got my 240W QB off Amazon, $219 in total with shipping.

Cheers!!!

No clue brother lol Was going to flower with it using a 2x2 scrog......but decided to order the 240W so I could have a better footprint and optimal light spectrum (3000k). I've seen pics of great looking plants, but as you well know, looks are a tiny part of the final equation.

Cheers!!!

Check this thread out bro. It's essentially a ts2000 except he's using 3 100W Mars hydro instead of the ts2000. Looking pretty fucking good

Cheers
