More info:

As I have too little space I want to use LEDs for sure. There will be a single short strain.

I found a good bulb called `Solmore 80 W P30 E27 LED Grow Light`. I am not allowed to post a link but you guys can search it. Seller said it draws 13W which confused me also disappointed me.

The light must be at top and without a fan otherwise it wouldnt fit. Also a small LED wouldnt produce that much heat right next to a carbon filter.

How much LED watt and actual watt do I need in this space for just 1 plant? I am looking for one that I can use from germination to flowering.

Thanks

Get how many bulbs u like. 4000k spectrum u can veg thru flower. Cut off the diffuser. Get a light socket splitter
Im just throwing out ideas. I made a light using led strips instead.Screenshot_2017-08-06-15-32-56.png Screenshot_2017-06-27-20-32-04.png Screenshot_2017-09-25-16-02-27.png Screenshot_2017-09-25-16-06-10.png

gosh, that's an awfully small space. i don't know if you'll be able to fit anything more than one or two compact fluorescents in there.

You may need to do something similar to this:

Fluorescents would be too hot for such small tent I think.
What about two of these

and one thisRTEfz2O6SCWtoTN6BU6ktQ.png


3 of them together would be enough I think and fits.

A quantum board seems like the best option but sadly I could not find any in my country

U could line the wall with LED strips
Get one reel of 6500k and 1 real of warm white 3200 k. The possibilities r endless. Screenshot_2017-09-25-19-07-06.png u can veg with 40watts in your space. But will need aleast double the amount of light in veg for flower

Seems like I have plenty of options. How much actual watt do I need in such space? I found strips with specs 24W 6000K real white and 60W 3000K warm white. total 84W. Would that be enough thru flowering?

Id make sure to go for 5630 led strips over 5050 led strips or 3528 led stips. The 5630 led strips r one of the brightest. Of you do go that route. Should be enough for your space.

That PC box is even 48cm in height, while mine is 60cm. That encouraged me for the space and the yield is also good.

I gave my decision. Gonna go with LED corn bulbs and that LED grow bulb. Idk why but Id love to have that IR+UV option. Ordering them now so they will arrive before the seeds hopefully.
