Lighting LED only thread (the manual)

Muggz, if you're running full enrichment, I'd use whatever combo gets you max lumens at the canopy...you can go up to 85*, maybe higher, so temp wise you have more wiggle room to play with. 4 BS is a lot of light, and a lot of heat. Max lighting recommendation for cannabis is 60w per square foot, so with 16sqft (4x4) you're looking at just under 1kw being the high end for lighting power. Either solution will yield great cannabis, but the more the merrier when growing inside. I have 1 BS 270w Chrome in my 2x2 tent right now and it's really outperforming my 240w BS flower model in terms of plant health and floor-plan because it has totally different lenses/layout so it's easier to spread things out and lift the light 6" higher. You might consider 2 or 3 of those to cover your size area...but again, to max out your plants you want to mimic 1000w of conventional lighting + CO2, so I'd say whatever your budget allows...
 
you have one blackstar in your list. 90 watt model. they also make a 135w model, i have one of those:D:it will do a bang up job on one plant.:smokebuds:i also have two 240w bs and a blackstar chrome 6 spot. call gotham talk to victor and haggle with the price......i think they sell for around $175.00 but talk him down, mention that you are a afn member and will be doing a grow log showcasing the blackstar line and get a deal!Hop digityi paid $150.00 quite a while back, with free ups ground shipping, in the states:2cents::peace:

Hey CGR, those Solar Storms look awesome bro! I looked at them as well. Right now they have a deal on them if you will do a grow journal they will knock off some $$. They have the info posted on their website about how to go about getting in on it. It is only on the 400W though.
 
This is the response i got from them ...and i would buy it but it doesn't seem like a good deal to me for the 400 watter ..now if it was the 800 watter for that price ..i would be all over it ..but i think i'l stay on the hunt for a better price

I’m sure by now you’ve seen all the forum postings and you know we have a solid product that delivers results.

For the Grower Feedback Program, the deal is simple - you make a deposit for a little more than half the cost of the SolarStorm 400W ($ 599.00 plus $30.00 for shipping – normal price is $ 999.00)

Yep, that is what kept me away as well. From everything I have read they are awesome lights but they are a little too steep for 400W.
