How many LED light's do I need?

[RobertM46]

I am working with a pretty small space but am trying to grow 3 lowrider plants, and LED's are for sure the route I plan on going.

So if anyone knows, would a single 180w led light be sufficient? And if not, what do you think I should use?

30-40w per sq ft of grow space is what you want to aim for. Less will work but yield will suffer. More watts can require dimming or you could run into light stress issues.

How much space are you working with for a light footprint? 2x4 or 3x3 would work fine for 3 plants and about 300 watts would work for either of those. A few more details would help people here make recommendations. Is this a tent or an open area?

Canopy height is an important factor, eh?

Is it a tent or open area. Short or do you have ability for height adjustment. Like @Rurumo said more details would help. But more than likely you can find a single light that’ll get you through.

Been running a bar style 640 watt for 2 years. I get very good results with it. Most especially considering the price. They sell direct is the main reason for the prices.
