Welcome to the site tazarro. We have a light section with a ton of LED info to check out. But for six you will need around 500 watts I would say. What kinda space are you in? Blackstar makes great LEDs. Check em out.

thanks its a pretty big walk in closet i dont know the exact diameters i think its about 3feet in width and 4 feet in length that i will use...those blackstars look great good prices...do u think the 500w would be enough from veg to harvest?

That 500 watt won't actually pull that much so I am not certain. I would think so though. Put it this way. One 250 watt Blackstar would be great for a 2 x 3 area, and you can fit about three plants in there good size from what I have seen. SO if you had two 250 Blackstars or the 500 that should be fine for 6 plants. I don't seen anyone with a 500 watt here, just multiple 250 watts. Just my opinion here. We have members much more knowledgeable than myself about LEDs especially.

what size pots will you be using tazarro cause i have a 240w black star and Im craming as many as i can under it but for 6 plants 2 240w should do pretty good but that's just my opinion and i just got my black star couple months ago
