Ho I have been away from growing for a few years and I need to catch up fast as I just order a new tent. I've used leds in the past and still have some old stuff from 2013 but it is now 2021 and for sure there are new and better leds around. What do ppl recommend these days for a small 120x120x2000 tent? 4x4
 
I can highly recommend Meiju's Chinese stuff. If you can afford the extra shipping and not being as discrete I would go for the F8 foldable 650w instead of the A8 that I use.

They're way powerful. I keep it at top distance in my Gorilla240. I still feel I need more ceiling lol!

7 days of growth between the pictures. I'm also totally new to this LED business, first run ever with proper LED stuff (I don't count supplemental UFO blurpees in the early 2010's.)

Cheers! :eyesmoke:
 
Very nice looking plants. I have an outdoor going but it's had a hard life in some salty coco. I forgot that I hadn't cleaned it properly, as I was trying to kill the wife's horrible plant she had. Lol
 
The LEDs I originally ordered arrived in the pickup store today as I wasn't home. I'm in 2 minds if to keep them or upgrade and send them back. They should be a lot better than my old 600watt hps and some other old LEDs I have.
 
So a little update. I transplanted the out door girl into a bigger pot to try and stop it getting blown over. Also today seedlings were transplanted into their final pots. They look a little stressed today as I forgot to put the timer on last night so they haven't rested since yesterday. Fotos tomorrow.
 
It's update time again. The girls popped august 6 are about 5 weeks in veg. They have been a bit slow due to 2 bad nute episodes. I just topped 2 in the back of the tent. IMG_20210915_131401510.jpgseptember 15.

These girls are in 15L Autopots. I have the lights at 300 watts for now. I was running 200 watts but the weather went a little cooler and had problems keeping a good temp in the tent with the fan on. Ventilation is Primaklimate Eco 160mm 400/800 m3 in a 4x4 tent.
 
After looking at the plants this morning, I've decided to flip 3 of the 4 on Sunday. The LSD is still a little small so I'll let it go for another week in my other tent.
 
you'll need 2 more of those lights. run 2 rows of 3 spaced evenly. hang em at the top and let the plants grow into it
 
You can't see it in the pics but there are 5 lights hanging. 4x120 and 1 240w down the middle. Just found out the blueberry cheese is an auto, it was a freeby seed. I need to move it out of the tent, as I'll switch to flower next Sunday. I'll take some new pics later.
