How much light do I need??

[ghostrabbit]

I have a 2ft by 2ft, 4ft height grow tent. There are 2 plants in it. I will be using LED lights. What is the wattage of light that I need for this set up?? Please help!

2 65 watt autocobs or a qb135 hlg would be perfect , of course just my opinion

Budget?

Right now I have a 600w led grow light or I have a 100w led light

I would aim for 150 watts of decent led or 200watts of anything else. There’s lots of lighting guys in the led section here though. Listen to them lol

Mars TS1000 is a perfect budget LED for that size tent, puts out 150 watts

50 per square foot

You can get away with 25

Sure but I like 50 as a starting point.

Show me a pound in 2x2 then 50 watts good for a 2x2. 25 watts per square foot is fine for that size tent, get up to half pound under that TS1000 if u got a low foliage plant

You’re going to get a half pound from 100watts? Do what ever you want guy. I like 50 watts per square foot. Take the advice or leave it.
