Will the light be used for veg, flower, or both? How many square feet are you trying to light?been looking at spider farmer and Mars hydro, I need something that is equivalent to 600w hps, currently running 250w hps but wanting to buy myself a led light
There’s that many models etc I just don’t know which one to buy considering I’ve never used led before
How much canopy space you want is a function of how much yield you want per grow. In soil and without supplementing CO2, one ounce dried per square foot is a reasonable approximation. I want at least 30 watts of LED per square foot for soil and ambient CO2. At least 40W/ft² with hydro and/or CO2. Other features I want include detachable drivers (to get heat out of the tent) and continuous dimmers. I don't know how to get you within your budget buying new from Mars or Spider Farmer. You should be able to find something used around there.
Have you looked at HLG I got a hlg350r
That's a little spendy for the OP's budget, but if you can find one for £150, by all means grab it.
