right now im planning my first grow. Room is wardrobe 23" x 31". thought of having 2 30w leds (200w) 6500k and 2 30w leds 2700k with CAN 100 and TT125 ventilation system. By leds I mean those big yellow chips inside a metal reflector. Does it sound okay or should I edit something...thank you in advance
Recommendation to you is to buy 2 300 watt LED pannels like Mars 300s there only 65$ each and will be plenty for flower and bloom for 2 plants in your area you might pull off more if there small Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
what are you using .. soil? coco? active hydro? ... in an area that small 1 mars 300 would be enough to flower. could probably expect 60 grams off 1 light if you do a decent job... more if you do a great job. 2 would be better though ... or 1 viparspectra 450 for about the same cost.. has a veg/bloom switch .. but you sacrifice some overall wattage. 2 mars = 240 actual watts. 1 vipar 450 = 200 actual watts.
I will try with mars then in soil with topping and I'll probably buy some seeds from royal queen or sensi
Are red and blue leds really that better at lighting than those lamps? they have like 3400 lumens and each and together around 1200W for 200W.
im no pro with lighting .. a lot of it comes to personal preference. many prefer HPS which are cheaper up front cost.. but not as efficient as LED or CFL (more of the energy is transferred to heat instead of actual light)... different types of LED are even more efficient than other types. as well. when looking at a light you want to be looking at the PAR value, efficiency, and spectrum ... but for the cost/efficiency/spectrum as a beginner.. you're going to have a hard time beating the cheaper LEDs like galaxy, mars, vipar or similar lights.
