Lighting Help with tent set up

[alreaaaa]

Hey guyz

I will start a second round of AF seeds but I was wondering with the upgrade of my setup which is :

Tent : 60*120*180
Light: 300w LED panel (135W actual draw) galaxyhydro
air: 1* small intractor
1* bigger extractor (280m3 with thermostat and dimmer)
1* 23w oscillating clip fan

Last round was my first round with 2 plants and ladies went well even with my clumsiness and beginner errors and i managed to get like 100g out of them two girls.

I know that my light is really low on power and i was planning on getting another one to complete the tent light setup but i was wondering wether I should try and get :

- another Led like this one the same brand or viparspectra or mars hydro kind of cheap thing coz I can't afford Platinium or Blackdog series
- Or another light like 150 HPS or CFL smthg like that

Could you guyz please give me some piece of advice wether to stick with one kind of light or mix different kind of lights in order to get fuller spectrum and maybe better heat control as cold was a bit of a problem with Led only.

Thanks in advance

Check Amazon for the Bloomspect 300 watt for 59.00 bucks.I have been using one for two months with no problems.Read the reviews on the light they are pretty good for a cheap light.

Allright....Skip all the Chinese junk and get yourself a BlackDog for $3000. Just kidding, lol. It sounds like you would benefit from an Autocob. If you get one of the almost completed Autocobs for $49 and source a 50-60w 1050ma driver for $25 from Mean Well, you will be on your way. The Autocob runs at 55w or so, but don't let that fool you. Its an INCREDIBLE light for one plant from start to finish. I would personally get 3500k for a light that's great throughout the plants life cycle. 3000k for flowering only, and 5700k, 6500k for veg. The awesome thing about the cobs is the modular setup...It grows with you. Instead of one Autocob and a 60w driver, you could get 2....And a 120w 1050mA driver. I have 4. On a 240-1050mA driver. My boy has 6.....On a 320-1050mA. Pulling HUGE yields with these, and they last a decade or more and are built with top end parts. Citizen Cobs, Mean Well drivers, Mechatronix heatsinks....Good stuff. Hope I helped, and good luck.

Buy a couple of cob lights from www.cobshop.net. You will be happy that you did. I switched to all cobs a while ago and am extremely happy with the results.. The cobs grow very well indeed. Try one.

Okay guyz so the advice would be stickin' with led then.

Thanks for info and I'll look into making smt out of a cob

yeah indeed just checked and you can get this light for 25 bucks really cheap thing for a working one, makes me think of wether try it or try to make a cob as I've been looking into it since last post and it doesn't look complicated at all to make one .. but more expensive than those 3x bucks

I would defenetly buy more at that price if this site is legitimate.How much is shipping?

 

[alreaaaa]

I just looked into it as the site looks legit but a very big grow tent was up zt 23 bucks so... Well smells like scam unfortunately

Sorry for double post !
So I checked deeply into making my cob as it looks like it is efficient and durable ( since we buy quality parts)

I was wondering if you guyz could tell me if 2*
BRIDGELUX VERO29 (3500K 80 CRI D) 36v
with
1* MEAN WELL HLG-240H-C1750B
both on
ARCTIC Alpine 11 PLUS
would work as more light for my space and be efficient

You can go with smaller driver, you only need 2x36V = 72V one.
