Super ecstatic I just put in my order. Ordered a Gorilla Tent Lite line 4x4 tent and was wondering if you gents would be nice enough to give me some light suggestions. My plan is to probably run about a 250 watt HPS light based on what im trying to spend and what ive been researching but i would love to have a few other opinions and reccomendations such as personal experience with HPS versus LED and which is superior and why. And if i were to run LED how much is enough? Anyways thanks for advising this green greenthumb!
Thanks! Im Ecstatic for the resource!Oh and .... Welcome to the farm, lots of very useful information here...
That's awesome! You're working a bit outside my budget but thats an awesome set up! Are watts equivalent when comparing LED to HPS ? What would be the LED wattage comparison based on efficiency versus a 250 watt HPS bulb if you might know?
I have read that some members have had good luck growing with lesser expensive lights than the ones I use. I don't really have any recommendation, unfortunately. hopefully others will chime in that have done this with a similar budget as yours.See this is why I made an account on this forum! Any clue what kind of an LED setup I could get away with in my price range or should I shoot HPS?
I'd maybe go with a Viparspectra 1200w (535-ish actual watts), but that's going to cost $400. Puts you at around 45 actual watts per foot in your tent. The mid-range LED's pay for themselves over the course of a year though with energy savings. Both with the light consuming less itself, and less need for methods to reduce heat. My plants love mine.
I have zero experience with HPS though.
How do you feel about the 600w version of that Viparspectra versus HPS?
Know anything about that MasterGrow 1200W ?
