I have a 4x4x7 tent: Which light would you recommend? - LED Grow Lights - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hey All,

Im new to the forum, but have been a grower for a while. I have always been faithful to HIDs but god damn this little subforum has made me want to try out LED's.

I usually run 6-8 plants max with a 600w bulb on in soil.

How many plants do you think i can keep in the space with somewhat similar results to my 600w?

Would a single 205w be enough? Should i bite the bullet and go with 2 205w or a single 345w?

From all the research i have done, it seems that the LED's are great for Vegging, but are still out classes by HID's. Yes, yes, i know LED's will save money in the electricity bill..but how close are people getting now?

Thanks all

Well Ninja, I would go with 2 205 units to get the best results, You could run six or 8 plants in 2 rows and that would be fine.

The buds grow under led develop just as those under HID, once you go led, you won't be going back to a bulb.

Let me know if I can help you further setup your idea!!
