Hi, I’m just about to buy myself a 7x7x6 tent
And just want to know what is the best light I should get for it

I heard LED is the way to go but have also been hearing a lot cmh lately no an not to sure on which to use? This will be my first grow so just want to make sure I make the right choices first time around

Cheers

What LED you recommend?
And how many watts would recommend for a 7x7 tent ? Maybe 2 600s

gonna need more than that. if you are talking about an off the shelf LED rated at 600, its only gonna put out about 2-300w.

if you are mechanically inclined that are a million DIY threads here with boards, strips and/or COBS.

7x7 is going to take a lot of light regardless of what type you go with. When I ran HPS I always had a 1000w every 4x4 or so. So if I were to run a 7x7 (and assuming I had good airflow and ac) I'd probably run 2 1000w side by side, or if I really wanted to pack the light in I'd do something like this...20180120_104158.jpg

If you're going LED, 2 or 3 HLG 550s would probably do that space nicely.

I’m getting two like I said, I want to try the qb train and see how they run. I’ve seen so many good things plus I love my cob lights

Honestly I'd just throw 2 x 600w hps in there. I mean if you got your stuff up to snuff then you'd pull a bit over 2 lbs, close to 3 lbs per harvest easy. And as far as quality of weed, I think you'll do fine.
