Another LED or a 400 watt hps?

[VACAVILLE,CA.GROWER]

Hello everyone. I have a small 2x2x5 tent. I was thinking of doing a 1 plant scrog. I already have a mars hydro 300w led light. I was wanting to know if I should use another mars hydro 300w light and have 2 led lights in the tent? Or just buy a 400w hps cooltube for my size tent?

Well if it were me I'd just stick with LED's

Will 2 leds fit in a 2x2?

When I read about LEDs they always say something like "as efficient as a 600watt HID" or something to that effect.

When things change to "as efficient as a 600watt LED" I will seriously start considering LED, but as of now things are still compared to the industry standard HIDs.

I know I've had double the yield from hps that I've had from leds, but I also had more experience when I made the switch, could be the lights, could be the grower

2 mars hydro 300w led light are 140 real watts. So 2 would give me 280w of led. Yes 2 would fit in my tent. I was thinking they would give better coverage. The 400w hps cooltube would also fit.

I grow with 1 mars 300 in a 3x2 space

Man, thats alot of LED light for a small space...you will get light bleaching to no end, thats for sure. idk as far as hps or led, but your definetly looking at way to much led lighting, i would think...i have bleached buds with less....

How cool dose the cool tube get because I'm using what ever I can get right now and its not strong enough I bought 1 red blue grow light from ace hardware and my plant responded to it the night of on side of the plants fan leaves doubbled in size. It made me realize how shirty cfls are. And I have a very small t5 florescent fixture. And a double full spec Led fixture form a hardware for 20$ but the box didn't label a watt or lumn, so my sour d plant is all fugly right now looks like a bad sciences experiment. She's fine but I want to go hps, but I'm worried my foam board grow box (22"×37"×47") will not only over expose them (white top buds) or it will melt the foam. My grow has a.c. set at 73°-77°f. So I herd about thiancool tube but, just how cool is it?

How do your plants turn out with the 1 mars Led?

How do your plants turn out with the 1 mars Led?

They turn out good but 1 plant always is a light hog, 3 too 4 ounce yield average,might need too add another little LED as the penatration from the 3w LEDS ain't that good for flower. Light needs too be like 30 cm too the tops in flower too get good buds, plus i need a little more coverage so i can space my plants out, at 30 cm just covers a plant and half maybe, damm leaves overlapping.here i will post a pic

Day 48 Auto #1's in soiless promix only been given ph tap water at 100 ppm under a Mars 300 the double panel reflector, old model light

4 cobs!

I was thinking of 150 watt cob instead of led, do they produce alotta heat, want one in my 7x2 closet

Well I run a 4 cob at about that wattage in a 2x2x5.5 tent and room temps 71-73F inside tent 77-81F

and that's with a low CFM fan set up pulling air from bottom through a carbon filter at the top.

Probably average 8-10F from what I start at with lights on.
