Been out of the grow game for about 15 years and am more confused than ever on lights. back in the day I used a standard 400w hps for veg and flowering. worked finr but heat management was an issue at times and a blessing during the winter. this time ill be in a 4 x 4 x 7 grow tent in my garage. I've been looking into LEDs but there is almost too much information out there and its got me confused. I'd like to try LEDs but need some guidance
Questions.
1. Are LED's really as good as HID when it comes to production?
2. What is the ideal wattage for a 4x 4 tent
3. What is the best LED light out there for home growing? (I dont want to build my own. I prefer to get somethign i can pull out of a box and hang)
4. I see there are different color spectrums. Which one would I need to get for growing?
Thanks for any info. I'm excited about getting back in the game but not gonna lie. i was less confused in the late 90s when i bought a book from barnes and noble and went to town on some mids seeds. lol this has come a long ways
