Hey everyone! I'm new to the growing community, even the grasscity community! So here's my situation, I'm starting to grow in a vivosun 48x48x80 tent. I have everything I need, just need help choosing the LED light. Like I said its 48x48x80, and I plan to grow 3-4 plants. A certain website said for that space I should look for a 1000w light. I know enough to know that these companies falsely advertise how much watts it actually gives off (something about lumens). Knowing this has made my choice way harder because I dont know what light gives off what wattage. So i'm asking for help, if you have my same sq footage id love to know what you're using. I plan to start off with one light, then eventually go to two to better spread the light, when i have the funds. My max budget for the light would be around $500.00. Any help would be appreciated as im unexpected! Right now im looking at OR
Hey bro, welcome to GC! Ok, i grow in a 60x60x140 tent (to be upgraded soon!) and i can tell you, you will struggle doing more than 2 plants in there at a time.... Especially after you flip to flower and they double/treble in size. Cant help you with the LED mate, as I use a HPS light (660w = 90,000 lumens) with good extraction / intake. I would grow 3 - 4 autos or 2 photo plants. Any more and you will struggle for space. Good luck.
hey you go boss: Horticulture Lighting Group Shenzhen Meiju Lighting Co. Shenzhen R2T Electronic also KingBrite and Brite Electronics also Bava Electronics You can also build your own lights using modules, several are coming out. there are many others. Recently been saying that the V2 800 + 660nm lights from meijiu are very nice.
The BloomBoss True Sun only pulls 330 watts and the Viparspectra pulls 520 watts. If you go with Chinese blurples (not recommended) you will need approx. 40w - 50w per sq.ft. for best results. That equates to a minimum of 640 actual watts - 800w being ideal. If you go with Quantum Boards you will only need 30 watts per sq.ft. for the same coverage - or about 480 watts. I would contact either Soil2Coco or Tbone Shuffle regarding the best QB's for your area. By the way - you can easily grow 4 plants in a 48 x 48 x 80 tent - that's how many most growers do in that size tent. Good luck and welcome to GC.
This was 70x70x160cm and these got too big by day 30 lol In my 60x60x140cm i had 3 autos 250w hps and got 10z
Very Nice bro. That is a decent yield under a 250w HPS!!!! Outstanding. I do 3 x autos in mine under 250/400w HPS - I have 2 x gorilla glue photos at the moment in there, and mate, they are tied down like you wouldn't believe and im still struggling for space. Tent upgrade next month, cant wait.
That's immense mate! Proud day for you, i bet! & with no LST.... I'm very impressed. Were these super autos or just normal mate?
I have some Auto Ultimate and Think Big from Dutch Passion coming from True North Seedbank if they ever get here. Slowest damn site I’ve used so far but was a 50% off sale and they had my Purple Haze x Malawi fem I’ve been after Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I’ve seen a grow with 64 square pots in a 3x3 maybe 4x4 idr. But u can fit 3 plants in there! It’s all about how u train them! I had 10 in a 3x3. It was worked getting them arranged but they grow fine with no issues from it. I’d either keep them staright up and not to bushy, and or put up a net or 2 above then and weave the shit out of the branches thru net
That purple haze x Malawi flowers for 13-15 weeks so I would love to get her germinated first. Plus there’s a Blue Dream in the order I would love to grow since I keep passing her over. The other seeds I have waiting to go. It’s killing me. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
