The cost must be crazy for a grow room of this size maybe that's why there is so few.
Thanks for the info, I plan to switch from HPS to LED this year because in my new appartment I can't have a ventilation system making too much noise. I have small scale grow op as I grow in my small living place, I'll need LED for a tent doing 150x90cm (5'x3', I think). What wattage should I get for a tent of this size? I use a 600w HPS for now in this room.To really measure grow lights you need a uMol meter. Typical light meters do not measure correct spectrum. I bought Vero 20 Gen 7's which are very powerful. I run 1000 watts through 10 COB's in 4 X 8 tent. They have to be backed off to about 20" or you get bleaching or foxtailing. I can not afford uMol meter (about $300). Got over 1 gram per watt, trimmed and cured to 63%. That is GG4 in SCROG. I am at 2 weeks, but will post in about a month.
How do you post photos that aren't thumbnails?

I don't think I'll buy a uMol meter at 300$, the cost is not justified for my grows.
You can download an app called Lux Light Meter on your phone. It will at least give an estimate of where you are at and you can then use the lux to ppfd converter on HLG website. This helped me realize in my first LED run that I had theblights too close. It may not be 100%accurate but at the very least its a good estimate.
