Lighting for plants

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by weed enjoyer, Sep 24, 2023.

  1. Hey, I'm looking to make a grow room in my greenhouse, how many LEDs do you think I will need and how many female plants will fit in there? Also how many watts should the lights be? I'm at a budget of around 150 euro but could go up to 250 if needs be. Exact measurements after completion of tent will be: length: 349cm width: 73cm height: 140cm, also soil, if I don't use pots will go 20cm deep 20230924_151940.jpg

  3. Just asking around for something cheap. Electricity usage isn't an issue but my boss won't fucking pay me so I gotta start a side business. Thanks for the heads up.
     
  4. Electricity usage isn't an issue? .. HPS lights are about as cheap as you can get, right now, tho I just bought some Migrow lights that suck 235 watts could be pricy at your place, flouro's at 6 and 8 feet are even cheaper
    pots would be the way
    good luck
     
  5. Thanks bro, what do you think about this one? amazon
    you're a good guy and I see you post on this forum a lot, hope you have a great harvest!
     
  6. I agree But cheap vipar spectra something like this . He would need 4. Darn that area is so wide and so narrow . cant suggest hps to much heat . Cant suggest t5 lot of heat from them as well. That area is odd ball . 600 bucks new. Search facebook market place used market .

  7. Wattage ‎65 watts
    Incandescent equivalent ‎600 Watts

    is bull we have many guys on here with seriouly under powered lights this is a fine example
    but you could by one a month up to 4-6 buying in as the plants grow?
     
  8. Thanks guys! I think I'll buy 1 maybe 2 a month like Vee said. As you can see my plants are still seedlings so I'll probably put them up under 1 light for now and upgrade as time passes. Thank god mylar is cheap. Y'all are great people happy harvest to you all.
