Breeding tent light requirements

Looking to start breeding some seeds and curious how powerful a light would be needed for a 1X1 or 2X2 space? Can I use a cheap LED or CFL?

Wondering what you’re going to breed in a tent that small. Seeded females can get hefty.

learn some basics of groing first, b4 you breed stuff.
what crosses you working on then?

You'll want the same amount of light that you would for flowering an unseeded plant.

I tried flowering a plant in a 2x2, and i also tried a reversal project, spraying one plant with Colloidal silver & not the other. ... The plants quickly outgrew the space. I mean, it's doable, maybe easier with one plant. A 1x1??? Good luck growing anything other than seedlings or rooting clones in that.

I have a 2x2 that I use for pollen chucking. I light it with a 150w LED panel, usually dimmed down to around 75%.

I don't need many seeds so was just going to use some small pots and flower early.

You definitely can do what you're planning.

Good luck

I use a 100 watt panel from the best deals thread that cost like 20 bucks in my 2x2x4 to flower seeded clones. Works great

I used an 315 cmh sunstorm for 3 small fems .so far off those 3 small plants i have over 4000 ballbearing seeds in an 3x5 room ...they didnt take up much room at all.i used elite x elite and reversed a fem , sprayed plant,put into flower,waited 14 days then put the 3 fems in there .26 days later had male sacs opening everywhere ,chopped plants at 10 weeks.worked like a charm..pots were roughly abit over a gal in 70/30coco perlite..they were clones i took of plants before putting them into flower.fed them same as a normal flowering plant.

I bet if you look into them and other breeders, and go beyond just rollitup and onto other sites you might find more info of peoples breeding processes
