I have done some reading about LED grow lights but I'd like some expert opinions. I am planning to buy one of these grow tents. I live in a hot climate and heat and power consumption are both an issue for me. I know I want 35-50w per sq. ft. Anyhow, I have about $1k to spend on lights.
I have shopped around and it seems that no one sells a light that meets my needs for inside my budget. I am willing to put in the time to research and build a DIY, but I am relatively new so might need some help. Any recommended DIY builds are welcome. I was thinking of maybe going with two of these kits.
I went through Growmau5's youtube series and I have a basic understanding of what I need in terms of power. Can anyone tell me what gives the most light with the lest amount of heat? That sweet spot is really what I am after. Maybe consider QBs? If there are other things to consider, let me know that too.
I am also open to other suggestions if there are better or more cost effective solutions that I have missed. Thanks in advance.
