Live Stoner Chat Hey everybody! New Grower

Thanks @Slater appreciate it! I almost bought a Mars Hydro 300 but decided to wait till I could get something bigger on the watts, costs so much starting out way more than I thought but definitely will move on to bigger and better. I'm probably going to buy a 4x4 tent in about a month and a half to harvest in and setup my fan and carbon filter in that for harvest sense I can't get inside the 2x2 lol then will probably start growing in that one instead of the 2x2 and move on to a bigger light etc.

I'd recommend an autocob. Won't heat up your space, puts out a ton of light, and is cheaper than most of the "cheap leds" you'll find on ebay and amazon.

...I only recommend them because that's what I use and I get better results than I did with my auction site cheapos.

I had a big LED, like the one you said you wanted, in my 4x4.....and scraped it for 5 autocobs...and have not regretted my decision one bit. I have much cooler temps (no need for cooling in the summer), and use much less electricity.....and my plants are MUCH healthier. Just my two cents.......hope it helps, and again, welcome

Thanks guys! I will check out the autocobs how many watts do you recommend all together for the 2x2x4 tent?

I'd recommend one, maybe two for a 2x2 space. They only pull 50-60 something watts from the wall... @BigSm0 can explain the wattage and efficiency a lot better than I can, Since he builds them. I do know the "wattage" you'll see on most LEDs is meant to be an "equivalent" of sorts to an HPS. Like, a "1000 watt" LED is supposed to put out the same amount of light as 1000 watts of HPS. Most of that is just marketing, though, Because a lot of your LEDs are basically just little heaters with pretty lights that barely hit the right spectrums...
I'm on my first coffee of the morning, So I'll apologize if that made very little sense...

I’d personally use just one in here. The height is the hard part since most lights need to kept a suitable distance from the plants. One cob kept high and some training should do very well for you.
