Grow Room Need advice on choices/micro

[floatinby]

Hey everyone, nice to meet you all

I did ask along this line in the mars section, but wanted to ask further.... I have been using a 26" tall box with 2 125w cfls and lst the plants, with some success but also with failiures too.

I have seen mars hydro with an offer on the mars300/140w led, and was tempted with it.... i could create an area/box that is about 34" tall by 21" depth and width.

The questions are, would 34" be pushing it with the led (i would lst/train them) it would just be for percy so 2 plants in 1gallon/4litre pots. It was mentioned that 34" would be pushing it (with possibly 12" room from pot to light) If i trained them could i make it work or should i just stick with my cfls

The light ive seen for £55, where as 2 125w cfls are about £40 together (i need replacements)

What do you guys think? Stick with cfl, or try the led? im tight on cash and tbh the results ive seen with leds look great - is the main reason why i was looking into this led (and the offer that runs out soon!)

Cheers for any advice and a warm hello to you all!

Welcome to AFN.Even at the bigger size box it is still pretty small for two plants.By the time you hang the led in there there wouldn't be much room left once the plants get bigger.Unless you can build or find a bigger place I would just stay with your cfl's.

I started like you, small homemade box. First grow was with a 125 watt cfl, then I got a second one. Eventually I got a 2x3x5 tent and and that's about what you need for that led.
