wattage

Hey guys, I’m currently researching and buying equipment for my first grow. The tent size I’m going with is 1.5m x 1m x 2m, how many LEDs and what wattage will I need in order to maximise my yield?

Hey all! So I ended up buying a 600W LED grow light, yet it does produce quite a bit of Heat. Even for an LED fixture as I have two 4" inch fans that push 195CFM and it still hits about 77-80F. It says its equivalent to running a 300W HPS/HID which I still seem to doubt although it is extremely...

I've been trying to get a straight answer to a simple question for a few weeks but everywhere I've looked the answers are argumentative or not addressing the question. Here it is: *as a general rule* how many watts per plant when using an MH bulb? I don't want watts per square foot. I...

Hello Everyone, Thanks for reading this! I've got a small space of 2x2 ft = 4 sq.ft, and I have a doubt regarding the lighting. I've read in multiple threads that 30-40watts per sq.ft should be adequate, and i'd love it if some of you could confirm that? for example if i'm considering...

This is my second grow. First one was great. Four plants (white widow) yielded about 4 oz.'s of good buds. I decided to try to increase yield by increasing wattage from 320 to 480 in CFL's. This is from a stunted 2 month old plant (white widow). They were in a small closet and I increased the...

Any suggestions such as wiring 2 lesser wattage tubes in series of equal wattage or over driving two tubes in series at less then 80 watts? I am growing edible vegitables in a deep water hydro I built...

Curious to know if there is any difference between choosing a 5 watt LED vs a 3 watt LED. The 5 watt LED has 120 bulbs and the 3 watt LED has 200 bulbs. Each totaling the same wattage and pretty much the same light spectrums. I thought I heard the 3 watt LED was better. TIA spy

I've been all over the various LED retailers and many of the LED threads in these forums. Just like all of you I'm still confused and frustrated. The retailers obviously say that their approach is the best but as buyers we haven't yet really challenged them or tried to confirm or disprove their...
