Lights 4x4 tent

[CTLeotattoo420]

I am taking up growing to save money in the long run, be a bit of a gangster and have some fun.
4x4 tent, I am sold on LED lights I guess, but which one and how much to spend? Mars Hydro 3000 is over $500, I saw somehwere that the viprasectra 1200 is a top choice thats a little less...trying to set the whole thing up for under a 1G. Oh...and I want to do the hydro thing too...thoughts?

I would go for Mars all the way, I'm on my first Led grow and I'm so glad I retired from my Hps, sure others will chime in with their mars outcome too.

I run two SP 250's in a 4*3 tent but two of these would be perfect for a 4*4.

Hydro and lights for under a grand is a stretch.

You'll need around 500 wall watts of quantum boards

Look at @Budget LED great lights and prices.

I use atreum lights in one of my tents and love them.

Diy strip lights would be the cheapest but require some knowledge and time on your end.

Everyone regrets a cheap light purchase at some point. No one complains about having nice lights.

I really like growing in Coco, all the benefits of hydro and more forgiving than water culture

Thanks @TurboBucket for the mention. For a 4 x 4, we have some solid options. Our Series 3 Red Spec 500w light in 3500k is a proven producer. Same goes for our series 2 480w options. If interested, we can chat in DM about it. All our lights feature high end components from Samsung and Meanwell.

I'm running mars ts 3000 and I'm using auto pots with a 4x4 tent. Sitting at around 1000$

 

[BooMtoLate]

My next light will be a budget led and I'll use the mars in a mother tent or something.

 

[Sparkey224]

@Budget LED . If i had to do it all over again. I would run all budgetled. And i have timber,mars. All great lights but something special about budgetled. Just my opinion

. Are your lights / kits plug and play or is some assembly required ?

 

[CTLeotattoo420]

Yes

Is it legal to grow up there?

 

[BooMtoLate]

In Canada yes 4 plants.

One option would be to spend everything you can on a light now and grow in soil for a year or so and save up for a great hydro unit.

Spend most your money on lights and genetics. With out them what ever you add won't matter. Plus soil grows are a bit easier to start out with. It lets you learn the plant first.
