Any suggestions for LED/ grow light?

[ForThousandsOfYrs]

I had just purchased a 48x48x80 grow tent and would like some suggestions on which grow light or LED light should I use to fulfill the tent space! Right now I have a 1.5ftx1.5ft 2ftx2ft 1000w LED grow light for veg and bloom I been having for a while would that work for the grow tent I’m waiting for now? Or what do y’all prefer for the new grow tent I’m getting? Would love to see y’all’s choice of preference thanks!

Your '1000w led' is prob running 100 true watts.
4x4? You got alot of options .. what are you looking for bar style? boards? What type of grow are you running? Tall/short plants? Shed some light (pun intended) on us

Can't say as I've compared many, I'm too broke even for the light I have! But our is doing great in all areas except heat but I have the Medicgrow Ez8. I won it in the "In it to Win it" section here on R.I.U.
The Ez8 is a true 1000w led. Retail's like 600.

Yeah most likely a board one I just been kinda lost on which to get and the seeds I have right now are blueberry cheese autos and would probably grow up to 4ft if not more! Maybe what I’m asking in general are what good brands are there to get?

Sweet ! Thanks man!

I seriously wish I had found that thread when I was setting up. Not that I don't like my set up it just wouldn't have hit so hard

I'd recommend at least 400 true watts. Breaks down to 25w per sqft, still a bit on the low side, I prefer around 35w per sqft. The monster I have is too much. I haven't even bumped it up to 80%yet. It gets too hot in my tent even at 60%.

Growing weed is like building a race car. The more money you put into the engine usually wins

What's your budget? Like stated your current light is probably a 100w light and not even close to sufficient for a 4x4 tent.

This is like building a hot rod and having it halfway done before you start thinking about what engine to put in it.

Newer growers - instead of buying nutes and a tent and etc buy the biggest light that will fit in your intended grow space. Photosynthesis. Think always light first. Not as an afterthought. I mean c'mon now.

Then buy the rest of your gear. Think light, light, light and then everything else. Shit light and you can have a great tent with fantastic nutes and you ain't gonna get anything but crap.

Na it’s small lighting for sure I’m definitely looking into 4x4 lighting source and honestly I don’t have like a strict budget I’m willing to pay 200 and up for a good one ya know?

To light a 4x4 you’re gonna need about double that maybe a little more if you plan on filling the 4x4 footprint.

something between 480w-660w of actual wattage for LED.

If you’re talking dollars then approx $300-$500 I think but some of the USA guys will chime in.
