I have a 3x3x6 tent. The par readings are pretty high at 3ft, maybe to high? Please tell me your opinion on this before suggesting a 00 grow light. This light (link) is in my price range.

Thanks!

It’s only 300 actual watts. It’ll work but for the price I’d go with visparvectra if you don’t want to spend a couple hundred bucks. Otherwise cob leds can be had for about $150/ea on amazon.

I was under the impression that watts don't really matter its PAR/PPD/PPFD.

Please do yourself a favour and don't buy that trash.

For $1500 you could get 3 of these but you'd have to get 2 more tents

My questions is. If anyone reading this knows anything about par. Is this to bright for a 3x3x6 tent? That is the question.

Not looking to spend more than $200. I have been running this for 2 grows now and wanna try something better but not crazy. First grow got 108grams. 1 week left on the second grow but it looks the same maybe a little more.

We have members here using the vispar. Never heard of the brand you linked to. If it was me I’d go with the cob for $150.

Can you send me a link please. I see rapidled's site but it looks like its DIYS. I really could only afford 200$ worth. Post #11 has a link to the light I have been using for the last 2 grows. Looking for an upgrade.
