Hello everyone. I have a few auto seeds. I was thinking of growing them inside a 48x24x60 tent. I was wanting to know if ufo led lighting would work for autos. I am just looking to save on electric alittle and keep temps down. What wattage and spectrum would I need. I have seen 90 watt, 135 watt, 180 watt.

I grew autos under Blackstar 135w ufos (85w actual). One for 2x2'. It worked well. I got 1g/w. But it did much better when I supplemented with Cree LED lightbulbs from Home Depot. About 120w total. I got 1.2g/w.

Personally, I wouldn't buy the Blackstar again, I'd just add more LED lightbulbs from Home Depot. Maybe 18w PAR38 floods for top light. Four of them on top, and four 9.5w lightbulbs arond the sides. That would be about 110w.

ahh i see i have a ebay ufo 100w actual pull. love it. hope it performs well in flower like it does for veg
I also have their 180w version as well. It just puts a little too much heat in the cab I have set up. Gotta get a different setup for that one.
