Lighting about to pull the trigger in an led

[1guy1plant]

My space is 2.5 x 4 ft. That includes a fans and some storage for supplies. I plant to grow three to 4 plants at a time. I am looking at apollos on amazon. Should I get the 300w or 400w plus a 180w ufo or just get three 180 watt ufos. My concern with the leds is flowering power. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Id recommend getting two 300w topled marshydro panels you can get two for about $180 free shipping.
They also pull 180w apiece so youd have 360 actual watts in 10sq ft so four pants under that easy.
Good quality for the price

two 300w does make a lot of sense. Have you been through the flowering stage with one?

Im flowering a sour crack right now under them i have 4 in a 5x5 with 13 plants under those four light the rest of my plants are just starting to flower.

Check my journal out in the mephisto sup fourm. Youl see the lights and what they produce.

I have 1 mars hydro in a 2ft* 2 ft* 8ft flowering room and it has plenty of intensity. 5 weeks into flowering 4 photos (SOG) and they are growing well under it. many people here and at other sites are very happy with them.they will put out more light and less heat than 300watt cfls

Hey 1guy, GoAuto6 posted TopLEDs Distance and Coverage recommendations in the Mother Ship thread post#385 https://www.autoflower.org/f5/mother-ship-21536.html I'm using TopLED's MarsII 300W draw lamp. It's very powerful for what I'm doing but if you're at 10 sq. ft. and have enough height, 5'+, it could work well for you. Just think about how you want to distribute the light. If you want to be able to grow photo's you probably want multiple lights so you can veg and flower at the same time. Cheers

Thanks everyone. I have been on led research over load the last few days. It is nice to talk to someone that has some actual experience. I have my seedlings under a bunch of 23 and 26 watt cfls. Looking forward to hanging a few leds soon.
