If it were me and I could afford it, go bigger. 200w (wall power for 96x5) = 33 w/sq ft in a 3x2 area. I would not want to go much less then that for optimal flowering.

Thanks for the good words, I currently have 250hps and a 50w savings just to satisfy my DWC system and air pump. We'll see what next . Hope WhiteWidow x BigBud love my new Mars

I do not grow with HPS however, I think you will find that 200w LED (wall power) vs 250w HPS that the LED will produce better, harder buds with less heat so cooling will be less.

If you have plants that heave been started under other lights, I would start high to let them get used to the new light (30-36") then gradually lower it over several days. You want to be about 24" in veg and 16-18" in flower.

This is my first LED that I have bought so I may seem a little slow but it is normal for some of the diodes to not appear on when in bloom spectrum, as well as in veg, and they would only all be on if I had both going at once? Would someone please explain to me how this works! complete beginner grower!

 

[Mars Hydro]

Hi massive, the recommend height is 12"~24". I have saw some growers put it lower. You can adjust it according to your specific situation. Usually if it's too close, the leaf may get burnt.

What if the reflector more than the recommended measures is low ?

 

[Mars Hydro]

yes, that's correct! Klovneposen

if led light is mounted to low you will get bleeching, curly leafs and worst case crispy burned leafs. and furthermore the mix of the different spectrums in the lighting will not get mixed propper when hanged to low

hello Micky, it seems Reflector96 just do your space. It's not too big for it.

yes, better more than less.

[Mars Hydro]
