I'm growing in a 2x2 grow tent with (1) 54watt full spectrum optic led. I'd like to add a led light for less then $100 that will help cover the tent. when it's 100% full of flowering canopy. I'm not hitting my corners evenly as is. What light is best for my situation?

Hey Growmie, I currently use the vivosun 300 watt full spectrum grow it runs around 80 to 90 dollars on Amazon. Great budget light. Been growing for 2 years with it. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

You can get a 240w quantum board on Alibaba for about $140 shipped. As bloombusters said $100 isn't enough to get a good quality light. I would save up and get the QB. Good luck!

Think about the lighting, it will be a more suitable course in choosing the right lighting for you! You can measure the illuminance (lux) in the cultivation area above the plant! Install a free app called "luxmeter" from the market on your smartphone, wipe your phone screen well, and clean it from grease and dirt. The light sensor is located on the screen side, which often rivals individual lux meters. Check the illuminance above the plant. Adjust the lamp height so it doesn't heat the plant to shock levels, but stays within the lux range. Install the app, it will be like a compass for your lighting! Effective illuminance ranges, starting from planting the plant: Day 1 (250-500lux) Day 2 (500-1000lux) Day 3 (1000-2000lux) After five pairs of leaves, full vegetation (2000-20000lux) Flowering (20000-90000lux). In theory, the most optimal for flowering is considered (45000-65000lux). Try not to exceed 90000 lux. Otherwise – 100% problems due to overly active processes in the plant! Good luck, friend! ✊😇

Too small a budget for a quality LED! This is just a weak LED lamp at 20-30W with a warmth of 3000k + a housing with a shiny reflector aimed at the plants! This is the cheapest you can come up with for $100. You won't buy a good light for flowering for $100! Anyway! 👆
