Looking for some final advice before pulling the trigger on lighting. I have spent a pile of time reading through Journals and reviews yet I'm struggling with the final decision. I have not used any form of LED in a grow room in the past and they really have caught my attention for obvious reasons. We already have high utilities and would look at ways to cut down if I choose HPS but I am leaning towards LED's with all the hype any lower power consumption.
I have a l closet measuring 32"W X 62"L X 102"H and growing with soil. No tent, converting closet to grow space. Looking to maintain and produce quality for personal enjoyment over long term.
So far I am building the closet into 2 tiers to house the seedlings under T5's in the lower portion (aprox 24"H) and then have the veg on the top (Aprox 98"H). I am planning on 2 mothers up top and currently have some Crop Kings Super Silver Haze feminized seeds germinating.
I am torn between running 2 Mars 400Watt for veg or 600HPS traditional. The HPS is familiar but there seems to be success with the Mars 2 from the grow journals I have viewed.
Heat in the room will be a concern as the room is west facing and gets lots of afternoon/evening sun with 2 larger windows in the Summer.
Advice is appreciated and anyone with Mars 2 experience is even more so!
