What size LED light for my tent?

VACAVILLE,CA.GROWER · Nov 27, 2017

Hello everyone, hope everyone is well.
I have a couple of autos going.
They are 2 weeks old today.
I have a 31x31x60 tent.
I am looking at meizhi reflector lights.
I was wanting to know what size light would work best for my tent.
I was thinking the 450w would be good or is the 600w better?
Let me know what you think, someone may think the 240w or 300w would work too.

Probably would go with 600w, Chinese are usualy a little more than half actual output, but 300w would also work just difference on vigorus growth,

Depends, you want real wattage. I see the one they call Meizhi reflector series 600w is only 230 actual watts so wouldn't be enough.
Something around 400-500 real watts should do you.

I was thinking your in a 3x3 but your closer to 2.5x2.5ft, so with your 230 real watts your getting 36w per square foot, which would be fine with good brand COBs or QBs but I would be looking for closer to 50w per square foot on these types of LED. Don't get me wrong, it will flower, just might be a bit less dense buds. Nothing wrong with trying it if the price is right!

This is just a hobby grow.
I dont even smoke, I grow and let friends and family have it.
So I not looking for huge yields, just looking to try a new light.

If it's a small tent I would go for a hood that can be connected to an extractor.

Give it a go, it cant hurt and if it does better than expected itl be nice to see and show the results.

it won't let you down, cause i'm using it, better than HPS, save much money for me :bigjoint:

I'm using a Meizhi 600 right now, and to be honest, it's fine.
Works great in veg, However I did add extra quantum boards during flowering.
But if your growing as just a hobby it'll be ok.
I would recommend using both veg and flower switches as soon as possible though.
