Probably not. We will most likely need to add more based on how they are growing so far.

Cause you have no fan, I'm assuming the LED's put off nearly no heat whatsoever. right? Good luck with the grow and keep me posted as I know nothing about LED growing. I'm always up for a little learning.
Hi Senior welcome.
The lights put off less heat than a 23 watt CFL I would say. The ballast puts out very little heat as well. The room has stayed a constant 72-74 degrees.

There is one green light amongst the blue ones. I will probably turn on the reds this week or next to see if there is a difference.

I will take pics of them tomorrow. So far they are of no comparison to a 400 watt HPS for example and seem to be growing slower. Maybe that's just because I am used to growing from clones.
