Your area is 8 square feet. 800 total watts would be acceptable for that area. 50 watts per square foot of veg and 100 at flower is quite a bit I would buy lights with Bloom and veg switches.Putting together the final pieces to my first ever grow.. Already have the tent & placing he order for lights by the end of the weekend.. At first I had my mind set on these but I'm now wondering if this would be to much for the size tent I have? I'm only planning on at the very most 4 plant but more than likely it will be 3..
I was looking at the 900 watt Meizhi lights
Or would the 600 watt. Version of this light be better for my situation
For that size area you're going to need smaller lights not just one big one.Putting together the final pieces to my first ever grow..

I tried posting a link to the lights but it wouldn't let me, I guess I don't have enough post at the moment.@Eyebedam, how about posting a pic of your set up, so far?

All of the lower-end lighting is about the same cost and they all work, it's a matter of selecting which Spectrum you prefer. Heat is a major concern. If you use a spectrum that only emits usable plant light with 3 watt LEDs it will be most efficient and create the least amount of heat. If you are just going to grow straight plants in there and not do a scrog. With only 2 ft wide your plants are going to be smashed in there and not a lot of light is going to get to your lower buds. You would be better off to go with two 300s on the top for even coverage and panels on the walls just below and surrounding the canopy.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P...yhydro+300&dpPl=1&dpID=415Zgg5UPRL&ref=plSrchHere are pics of both lights.. I was thinking worst case scenario after the first run at it if I do enjoy th hobby aspect of it I can get a larger tent no problem. The only reason I ended up with this smaller one to begin with is it was basically free & new in the box.
I wish I had some stupid expensive Cobs:D$20 ... man, If only I had seen this before I spent all that money on my stupid expensive cobs... I could have saved a truck load of money on my bloom tent.... };-)
You are like a lot of people that come in here asking about LEDs. People do a bunch of looking around and see lights they think are cool and then they get stuck on them. Honestly what you should be concentrating on is even light coverage at the correct wattage per square foot and light efficiency meaning electricity and heat in combination with your budget. Stay away from those double chip cheap Chinese ones.http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=232028511346
These lights have bloom & veg switches
I seeI've got reason to suspect that the original poster isn't a grower at all but someone getting paid to front these lights. No personal pics, first time poster, everyone needs to be made aware this is happening.
