  1. size of space: 4x4x7 ft.

    If anybody has real-world experience with LEDs could help me out, i was wondering if a would 600 watt led lighting system would be benefitical over the 300 watt system.

    here are my choices:

    600w: GrowPanel Pro 600 LED Grow Light
    300w: GrowPanel Pro 300 LED Grow Light



    also in this space, i would need to keep the lights atleast 1.5 ft away. i would like to try a few sativa strains, would their be enough height in a 7ft tent (minus the apprx. 2 ft for lighting)?

    thank yall!
     
  2. Couldnt give you a exact question but I have a 800w 5 Watt Diode Solarstorm with T8s. Killawatt says 690 watts with it all on. I have grown with a packed tent and also with just one in it and all turns out the same.

    The more watts the better though means your growing coverage is enlarged. You go buy the 300w say and its good for a couple plants but you want to add more and might find that light not capable of it.
     
  3. thanks bro. i think i will just go with the 300w, and add on from there if im not seeing the results i want.
