What’s the ideal amount of LED light for top quality in a 4x4 tent.
Pupperstarted grow question 3 years 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

Light intensity? Should I dim?I'm having a light-science question.
I have 5 bulbs, 11w each, total 55w. I know this is not much but anyway. Should I dim the lights for seedlings even If I have this low setup?
I mean, does light intensity affects seedlings' health? Or 55w can work on a maximum level?Other. General questions
Plant. Too short

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?3 years ago

Mars Hydro TS1000 and Spider Farmer SF1000D in 26x26 tent together?I’ve purchased an Mars Hydro FC-E 3000 for my 3x3 tent, so I now have a TS 1000 I’ve removed from the 3x3, that I want to move to my 26x26 and run it along side my Spider Farmer SF1000D. Is that overkill/pointless waste of energy for that size environment?Setup. Lighting

How much light for a stunned seedling?If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb).
I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energyPlant. Too short

Light stripsOpinions on led strips down the poles of my tent for extra light or saving up for an upgrade.... I've been talking to a fellow grower and I know I need more light in order to have a better yield. I thought 4 light strips would give light from each side plus on top. Whatcha think?Setup. Lighting
