I wash thinking of led. Any good ones u can use for veg and flower ?? And do they give off any heat ?? Say room is 65 degrees with lights out, what will the temp be with the led on ??led lights would be the best choice then for u
just with the HIDs u make alot of IR heat and the lightwaves hitting and aborbing into the bucket ..............depending on how foast yours gets roots and really growing it is about 4 to 5 week thing after that the shade from the leaves cover it enough that with the air pump in a cool zone and a good micro pore stone your basement grow will work out ............i am only telling u this to help save u the issuses i have hit
600 watt hid 4x4x6
How big is your tent ?? And what is the temp difference with led lights on/off ??...................3x3 is a little small, Im going 4x4 or 5x5 and with say a 5x5 tent how many plants you grow and what method do you use??? I do dwc.... I now have the superlocker 2.0 and I would grade myself a A+ I have to scrog bc 175 watt wont penetrate canopy... I get 4oz's every 3 months basically.i know of one......but if u are growing photos u need 2 of them .........the one i am getting is replacing the 600w i have in the tent
ok the 2 best led makers are BlackStar and Black Dog .........they are the best ones both do great plants and have good reps
the one i am using is from apollo ..they are new but they are trying hard to get a good rep so if any issuse should be easy to fix
this is what i know of LED lights
600w led is equalled in power and over all growth/yelid of a 1000w
led does work to gow plants
plants grown under led light tend to have a thicker leaf and naturally little deep green then hid
if u are growing photo plants u need the grow and flower light 2 lights (genetics dictate this for best yelids light wave and time period)
autos u can use the one light like apollo offers (they like both at the same time)
the 4x4 tent u could run 4 plants with some thinking 3 plants with just little plan 2 plants with no trouble at all 1 plant a baby could do itThe problem with the scrog in a 4x4 tent is its most likely for 1 plant I want 2 plants... I think I would just top it and grow it more naturally with 6 main stems... I guess it also depends on the vertical space too. How far do u keep a LED from the top of the plant ??????
yes .........this is the cuase of the leaves being a thicker leaf and a deeper green (3 feet is for the top of the line best ones the apollo i ordered i am think 2 and half 2 feet )Ok 8 inches... Three feet in u mean the LED can penetrate 3 feet of foliage ??
