Hello Everyone,
I'll soon be starting (first time) a batch of white widow (just ordered from Crop King Seeds - hopefully I'll find the time to post a nice journal on 420 forum.
So I'm getting everything ready. I was looking at about 4-5 plants in a 4x4 grow tent (initially considered 5x5 but it may be a bit too big - any input appreciated).
Now the big question, LED light. Budget is around 500$CAD so about 400$ USD. Trying to get the best bang for the buck. I've seen the Mars Hydro but as much as I've read ''good feedback'' I also read a lot of defect. I'm considering maybe a ViparSpectra which seems to be the best of the cheap models. I considered a 1200w but I may just do 2x 600W for my 4x4. I was looking at the PAR rating and not sure this would be optimal to cover the 4x4 for flowering. There is also Meizhi which appear to have similar rating accross the board.
Well I think most have been said.. I'm taking input from you guys to help me decide which light I should take to provide me the most based on my budget. Oh and final question, in terms of yield, I know it considers multiple variable but I've read a lot of 1g/w seen some post with up to 2 and other where it's much less than that. My ultimate goal would be around 1kg while understanding the current set up may not allow me to reach that (once again any idea to help me reach my goal is appreciated)
I'm taking any advice, I've read a lot in the last few weeks but officially will be starting in about 2 weeks from now and as mentioned I'll try to open a journal to keep everyone in the loop.
