100W full spectrum enough for 2 plants in a 80x80x160cm tent. Should I get a 300W instead?

fuckitimhighstarted grow question 4y ago

So, I bought this light, it's a 100W full spectrum grow light. But I think I might've bought it too hastily. I want to ask you guys before I return it though. Do you think I should get a 300W instead? Planning on growing 2 auto plants ScrOGed.

You would want a 300W for a 3x3 tent. A top range 100W LED light would cover a 2x2. But a mid-lower range 100W LED would only cover 1-1.5 squared.

I’m with team buy the best damn light your budget can afford you. Your plants are depending on you to make the sun’s rays. Cheap lights make junk weed. You need something that can push 900 PPFD/PAR minimum. Preferably something with a dimmer. Every other grower makes a good point here too. Good luck 🤙

Always want to go with the biggest light you can get. Remember if the light is to intense you can always dim it down or rise it up higher from plant canopy.

What sized space? I think you could do it with the 100, but you'd be way happier with 300w.

Personally I would get the biggest I could afford. Light is everything in the marijuana grow.

Grow lights I'm currently looking for a new grow light. But it's crazy how many choices there are. Since my grow area is very small, 40x40cm or 1x1', I don't need a lot of wattage. So would prefer to invest in quality over quantity. Any suggestions?

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent. Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.
