What’s the ideal amount of LED light for top quality in a 4x4 tent.

Pupperstarted grow question 5y ago

I’m exclusively looking to grow top end quality. Already can with HPS setup but wanting to switch. Is 480w Kingbrite LED quantum board with 385,660,730nm enough for this or do I need more? Any other suggestions? Aliexpress/Alibaba manufacturers preferred due to shipping costs.

Hola mi bro ! La verdad yo probe una muy buena placa en 120cmX120cm , tambien tenían 480w de 3500k mix uv 660nm iR , no estuvo mal , me imagino que si usas y pruebas 480w en 100cmX100cm rendirá mucho mejor ! Antes de todo si usará LED , te recomiendo 100% usar "barras LED " ya que su distribución en lcm y luz es mucho mejor que una placa ...te invito a mi diario para que veas como lucen 480w en un armario de 120cm...recuerda usas barras ! ;) Saludos rey !

I’m in a 4x4 and have several different lights going. I would say nothing short of 600watts or something with a better par value. Buy once, cry once—- get a good light for the space. I have ChilLed Grow Craft and Spectre LEDs and love them. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

You would need 800 watts of actual LED power for maximum light intensity and absorption for a 4x4. Anything over 800 watts is just extra power that the plants probably can't use. 800 watts being pulled from the wall. Actual power consumption.

If you want to equal your hps then an led that needs c02 along with it is needed. No others will give you the size and hardness of hid lighting
