Can you recommend a LED for 4 plants?

skulll · Oct 7, 2019

Hi again,
I would seed & grow 4 plants in a cellar(see in pic, trash will moved out) with only one led if its possible, in about 100x100x170 place but still have no idea what type of led I need. :dunno:

Do I need a simple cold colored (6500k) like this?

or I just need colored led? What color range?
How much watts will they need?
Thanks

That LED will grow weed better than one of the blurples.

If you don't have the money to buy a good LED light, perhaps you should consider a 600 watt HID light instead.

If you cant even spend €170 on a lighting system for 1m² you're not gonna have a good time growing weed in a dank cellar without environmental controls which you also can't afford. If you are limited by budget maybe you can start out a little less ambitious. 1 plant in a 2x2 and see how it goes. Then there is also less risk of wasting a lot of money if things go south. (And you could afford a pretty good led instead of a mediocre one, etc)

I started with 1200w LED and it seems to be ok in that sized tent. I just bought a 2500w sunshine cob LED and am hoping that I notice a difference in it when I get it all hooked up in a 4x8x10 foot tent.

I meant to say 1500w not 2500w

The Mars Hydro TS series of LEDs has the spectrum you want for cannabis, at a low price for LEDs. They have different sizes. You want 25-30 watts for each .09 square meter of space, match the light to your space.

If LEDS look too expensive, you can afford an extra $40 on your light bill , and your basement is cold all year... pick up a cheap HPS lamp instead of LED.

I think a lighting system that can be built up incrementally could work. Something like the clf/led comparisons thread is full of, over in the microgrows section of grow diaries. You can buy as many $2 lights as you like, and still get similar value to buying china's best.

LEDs are fun, and I use them myself, but it's true that the good ones (with 3+ watts/diode) cost a bit more, and can be prohibitively-expensive for the budget-minded beginner. If budget is a concern, you might consider doing a "Space Bucket" with CFLs--you'll find plans online if you search. A nice way to get some weed in the stash jar and grow experience under your belt while saving up for the LED of your dreams!

Good call f-e.

As many times as I remember, I keep forgetting this option as well.

A simple wooden slat frame, 3 to ??? light sockets properly wired, and you can use interchangeable Screw in LED's or CFLs to light your grow.

How about Mars Hydro TS3000? we offer 15% off for it, and the coupon ‘BlackFriday4" can save an extra 10usd discount. it can cover 4 plants well.

Go with a DIY Horticulture Lighting Group (HLG) kit. Best bang for buck and a notch above all leds mentioned in this thread (several notches in fact). They might still be having their holiday sale too.

Phlizon 3000w COB is a solid light has veg and bloom setting. $399.98, equal to the Optic 6 a $680 t $1200 LED.I believe they dropped prices because Phlizon 3000W is kiterally the aame l8ght for a fraction of the cost... shout out to china. They list their parts too... its cheaper to buy the Phlizon than to build it.. good warranty too.

These Mars Hydro TS series lights are on my wish list bigtime...I saw the TS1000 for $105 on ebay...grab two or three of these and i think you are set...they are claiming 2 grams per watt...great buy for the money..DJXX

I have bought all of mine off of this or that online website, but typically a 600 or 1000 watt led should be plenty enough for 4 plants, where and who you buy it from will dictate the price.

I generally avoid brands that advertise 3000 watts when they're only pulling 640 from the wall. I like to see par charts too.

Can you recommend a LED for 4 plants?
