Hey how's it going. i have a 56cmx56cmx1500cm cabinet. i have bought and assembled 110w of those chinese 10w "full spectrum" led's. i am about to start 4 jack autoflowers in 10L pots. what do you think? is there anything i should be looking for? what yield can i expect?

You do know what's coming right?

In that space... if you dont yield 6 ounces you could be doing better. With the light you mention i doubt youll get to 6.

600w hid would do it. But in a space that size i would go with a higher quality LED. "COB" LEDs specifically cause heat will be hard to control from hid.
Go on a sub forum in this one...for lights. The cobs are the way to go.
i have a 400w and a 600w hps and mh. i was thinking about running one of those with the 110w led panel.
i'm going to use a bathroom air extractor to keep the temperature low enough do you think it'll work?

I think the 600w will be too warm to manage without moving too much air. Try the 400...but even that with the LED will be tricky.

Just too warm. Youll have to cool it by exhausting a lot of air and in that small space it will cause problems with the plants. They will grow, but not to potential. Give it a shot with what you have ... you got to start somewhere.... optimize later as you learn.

The 400 watt is it a digital ballast( just warm to the touch)? Or oldest analog (too hot for that space) because 400 with supplemental can do a fair yield in a right space...plant buds will need to be tied and angled equidistant from the light instead of above if you only have a 4ft high canopy to grow from

get a thermometer ,, plug in all those lights, do a test run Without Plants,,,,, see what your temps are,, only then can you make choices,, you have to experament some,,, before plants go in,,, trying to figure it out as you go,, often times results in dead plants
