Going to be starting my first indoor grow very shortly here. I have this tent

And these lights :

And this 8 inch exhaust

. A couple small stationary fans and also a couple oscillators.

I’ll be doing a run of 7 LSD regular autos.

I’ve got Fox Farm light warrior seed starter, was gonna start them right in the soil in solo cups with some holes in the bottom.

How far away should I keep the lights? Any specific power settings or anything I need to be worried about?

Gonna try and keep the room around 75-85, humidity has been quite high here like 60-80 percent. I can get a dehumidifier if you all think I should.

Any other recommendations?

The lights are not where you want to be cheap. Good LED are expensive as fuck.

Those are only pulling 200 watts from the wall.

Don't quote me on this because I'm flinging shit from memory but you want 300 watts LED or more for a 4x4 space.

600-1000 watts HID for a 4x4.

The LED i got for my 2x4 space cost 500$...just saying.

The HID I purchased when I started cost the same as those LED. That is not a good sign.

From my experience spend the money 1 time. It cost more upgrading over time than just buying the best thing the first time.

LED you want temps In the 80s. Mid or low 80 is good.

Humidity I don't have much opinion on cause I can not control it in my environment so I got no opinion or advice.

The lights you linked are capable of producing some good bud, it just all depends how you use them. My boards are 6x- 220w, running @ 50% power.
