Hello everyone. I have found myself in a pickle trying to decide which light to get. So here are my options. I'm using a 2x2x4 ft grow tent. Trying to keep the plants flat and bushy with a scrog net and fim/lst, due to my restricted ceiling height. I am currently using a homemade LED fixture running 4-9 watt 5000k bulbs around 3200 lumens.
I had purchased a Meizhi 450 reflector but quickly realized I got a little overzealous with my purchase and had no room left to adjust the light height. So I sold that light and am looking for a new one.
I can't decide between a 2ft, 4 bulb T5 and swap bulbs come flower time. Or I have been considering the Maxisun 300 watt dimmable LED light. I think the T5 would be good for my small tent but I am skeptical about light penetration. The LED on the other hand is much more intense lighting but I would need to constantly adjust the dimmers to not burn/bleach the plant. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
