hey guys, ill try to keep it brief
first off thank you for taking the time to help a noob like me, i know the research is already out there but it feels more secure to have others people's opinion
it is my first grow and i want it to be a top level grow and i think i can manage that, given the right equipment
i'm planning on two lsd plants (got seeds online)
i plan on fluxing them as seen here: LA's Quick guide to Fluxing!
the grow space:
a perspex box
80 cm
60 cm
90 cm height
2 "ground pots" or whatever its called with lots of space for roots and fluxing
over all the plants will have 50 cm of height to grow (after 20 cm from lamp and 15 cm of ground)
so i am in the process of buying a lamp
i'm going to buy it from a local store and i have a few models to choose from
from what i understood there is no such thing as too much light
i want to buy 600w HPS light
my big question is about the heating, how much heat will this bulb produce? and should i consider LEDS?
LEDS are more expensive (at my place at least) but i am willing to do that commitment if it will give me more easy life not worrying about the cooling (i do have a system to keep the air flowing but i don't think it will handle 600w lamp's heat)
so i would love to hear your choice & opinions about the following lamps
and also know on which to choose from LEDS or HPS
the LED:
300W
for all the plant's stages
no heating (avoiding heavy air filtration)
less electricity (does not really matter to me)
200 volts 6 fans cooling
100 bulbs of 3W each
wave length:
660nm red :460nm blue: 2700K 610nm white-orange
12000Lm
900$ (i can withstand it especially if its a one time buy)
of course i don't understand how to translate most of this information, this is why i'm writing it all anyway
Sunmaster Dual Spectrum Lamps
including all the needed equipment, just to plug in
250$
Philips Green power 600w
says its designed to fit for all the plant's stages
including all the needed equipment, just to plug in
250$
so, long things short
which of the follows should i choose?
also if i do go for 600W should i get a heavy air circulation for the lamp's heat?
are LEDS also "easy to success" with or do you have more place for mistakes with them?
thank you very much guys
