I think a 3x3 tent and a 315cmh
Would be a good starting point.
You should walk before for you run.

Any reason? I've read QB can blow Cmh and HPs in 2018. My area is a 4x4. If Cmh will deliver better than a QB is terms of quality I go with it.

I think they’re probably on PAR (ba-dum KSH!) with each other, but I believe the QB is slightly more efficient, less of a fire hazard, and much less expensive. With the added bonus of not having to change bulbs that weaken over time.

You can watch my current QB grow if you feel like it.

Just because I know them a lot better then LEDs n know it would be a good starting point for someone. LEDs also would be good . 315cmh foot print are not as good for 4x4 , 3x3 will give the best results.
Because you have a 4x4 already, LEDs would probably be a better starting point.

CMHs are pretty good. I just wish they were more affordable. I like them both, really. CMH has good IR and UV spectrum for finishing nicely.

Timber grow lights compared to growerslights com or (Alibaba):alibaba com/product-detail/Meijiu-hot-selling-quantum-board-300w_60719338793.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normalList.22.34cd52f4v6KXmx
Are they the same? Same results in grow?

I use a Timber 2VL in one closet and 2x 135w QB288 V2 in the other. I got my QBs from GrowersLights, but they are HLG setups. Would you like to see the results of the Timber? I am starting my first grow with my QBs and am pretty impressed.
Use GrowersLights, Timber, HLG, or COBKits.

With the 2 135w qb, are you only growing 1 plant? And if I got my lights off of alibaba would I be getting the same diodes/LED boards as I would with those more official websites? On a tight budget but quality is key for me.[/QUOTE]

I would stick to the ones I mentioned and stay away from Alibaba, that’s just me. With both light setups? I could probably grow 3-4 each, max, but I stick to 2 each. Way too much light for one plant, all that.
