Hi there
I am looking to upgrade my light (300w CFL mixed spectrum) to a mars hydro LED. Mars seem the best choice as I am on a budget, and their prices seem amazing, and they are well reviewed all around.
currently I am growing 4 auto flowers in a 80x80x160 cm small tent.
the lights I am currently looking at are:
150W @ £86.99 :
300W @ £77.89 :
400W @ £153.99:
all of them are from marshydro's ebay store so Im confident they are not fake or anything like that.
A few questions:
is 300 or 400W overkill for such a small tent? at 160cm high (light probably hanging at 140cm i would guess) will it be too strong if the plants stretch and get too close to the light?
Why is the 300W so cheap? it seems like a bit of a bargain. I would prefer a square panel for my square tent, but it seems almost too good to be true
being a small area heat can build up (im running one 4" extractor fan currently) It seems to handle the cfl fine, but im not sure how hot these LED units run.
I am leaning more towards the 300W for the cost it seems like a nice purchase, but I dont want to get a light thats too strong for such a small tent.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
