We would like to hear your opinion about our current setup for our pre-cultivation tent:
dimensions of our small pre-cultivation tent are: 60x60x140cm

We currently have 2 types of lamps to choose from:

https://www.hydroponics.eu/longgloss-50-v-reflector-shiny~1002.html with a 600w lamp
or
https://maxgrowshop.pl/product-eng-123-Mammoth-T-NEON-2x36W-Reflector.html
We have 2 of these hanging so its 4x36W.

We are thinking about buying an LED lamp as the consumption is much less and electricity is expensive these days.

We would like your opinion on which lamps we should use during the initial phase of the growth of our plants.

if your talking about 600W hps in a 60x60x140 it would be overkill, 600W scale for 1m20x1m20 wich is 4 time bigger.

the neon will be fine even only 2 could be enough early on but 4 is fine as well.

Is there an LED lamp you would recommend for pre-growth?
LED uses much less electricity...
Or should I stick with neon?

in a 60x60x140 a 100W led is what will offer an even coverage and is more than enough for early growth stage in term of power, could even be sufficient to flower small plant.

check spiderfarmer, viparspectra, phlizon, hlg, or mars hydro for exemple

just get two t5 high out put bulbs .Cost you in total about 40 bucks complete set up to do that entire tent for veg . Tb perfect for cloning to small clones all the way up to 5 foot tall plants
Hit your local hardware store . Do not get shop led . It will not work well .
