What is a good 1000 watt led that are affortable
Just buy an hps.
1000 watts of led I'd say $1600 would be extremely affordable

Isn't it 4x as much? HahahaLet me guess... you read somewhere that led grows twice as much bud as all other lights

That's to many watts of good LED for a 4x4. Don't look at blurple leds that claim 900w when there really 200w. Check out quantum boards for easy setup but $100 barely gets you anything. Go over to the LED section and read.

if you go on google shopping they have a few choices for 1ooow led for around 1oo/125$ range.. most are what they call the blurple light also in white light

No. Not true.
There is not a single 1000 watt LED on the market anywhere close to that range. Not even in blurple. And it would take at least 600 watts of blurple to adequately cover that area. Might as well just get a 600 watt HPS. Craigslist.

If you really wanna go down the LED path,Superbright 1000 LED,you could get two for around £110,run them side by side and you should hit good weights ,For very little cost to run ,twin fan in each one ,you would only need a 4inch filter 4 inch inlet.I would just do the one plant ,but scrog it ,or you could do more and flower smaller,but most likely end up with the same weight has doing one.I would say HPS,but in a tent of that size ,it would be a ball ache to get the temps right,for the money your wanting to spend,unless you can get a 600 cool hood ,and decent fans for in and out lets for that price.Or Cool tube ,I used all 3 ,and you won't beat HPS for Weight ,I found the LED produced really good Quality bud ,but In total around 5 Oz dry cured bud ,with a few bits I did not bother weighing.The Mars LED 300 ,produced the most weight and quality wise from the LEDs I tested .Same price range has the Superbright 1000 ,Great lights to start out with .I would like to Run two of the SB1000's at some point ,Double figure weights are easy do able I would say with two of them in that size tent,heat would not be a big issue either.Both are in my Blogs, In the Journal Section .

Be a Fuking Nightmare ,Heat would just be the main problem,You would need a large Exaust fan filter ,that are weighty ,so by the time that you have bought braces,to support them,Half the tent space would be used up in stuff trying to keep it cool ,Plus I rather use a 600 ,more cost effective,not much difference in end weights ,better for vegging more plants like mothers ,though the 1000.

That's not what goes on in my room,I get far better weights from scrog.Vertical weights are got from doing loads of plants, that will produce a nice big cola SOG .But each room is different .Say a Area that size 9 plants ,flowered at around 6/8 inch .Aim at one big cola ,it can be done so those tops will weigh in at 28g,min.But to be honest I go with one plant just vegged longer ,then Full a table that will do the full tent.I have a sim grow in my tent ,but I have never hit those weights ,But I'm gonna try the two LEDs and if I get what I normally get from them ,then I be happy with 10/12 Oz.The last one I did under the SB1000,I think it was the plant that just was not a big producer ,but quality made up for it.Blueberry Gum .
