Well low energy low heat! Leds is what you want! It sounds like you got most of the supplies you need! The best leds for cash and longevity are by far spider farmer sf series you’ll love or mars hydro leds!! And when you put your room together make sure you set up for good air flow! Good luck 🍀

aluminum paper should not be used, the light reflecting on the aluminum paper creates points of heat that will damage your plants. it must be white plasticized paper or mylar. at the level of cheap led lights, for about 80 € the bestva elite full spectrum compared to the other equivalent models from other brands for me this is the best, here is the link on aliexpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_dXKSdgS

@regularPot Hi mate hope you are well.
Foil as a reflective material isn't a good idea as it generates heat , A flat white surface is better than foil or if you can afford it Buy a couple of meters of Mylar material
I dunno what the cardboard is for ? pc fans are good as for lights it will depend on the size of the room your building? Maybe a small Mars or viparspectra LED would do the job
Good Luck

Additional lighting in flower???I’m planning on putting another 2 x 600wLED (blurpul colour type) alongside my current 2 x1000w led Cree cob lights. I have them spare and was hoping this will help with flower/thc production??? Is it worth putting them in or just wasting electricity. Any help appreciated 🤙✌️🎄Week 21

How can I reduce the heat in my 5x5 tent (650w light bar/6" ac Infinity and a ton of fans) without AC? Do I have to leave tent open?5x5 tent is in a kind of lung room (utility room) that stays around 20C/68F. The tent always seems to be at 30C86F with lights on. Ive added and moved fans, opened more intake vents. I have AC, but its -25C/-13F outside. Id like to drop the daytime temp 5ish degrees for flower.

Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w):
I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?

Do I need to lower my lights?Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFFit is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it.
Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same.
Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one.
In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?Week 4

How to tell if light is damaging plant?I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?Week 8
