This is the light I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy. I am just wondering if anyone has any additional suggestions (other than suggesting to grow something other than autoflowers).

I have been recommended to grow the Cream Caramel Automatic strain, which appears to grow between 35 and 100g/plant. I know I wouldn't expect upwards of 100g, but hitting around 2oz would be very nice.

My tent is 4'x4'x6.5'. I was wondering how many plants I could put under this light, in this tent? Generally recommendation would be fine, along with your recommended arrangement. I am thinking maybe say, 3 plants x 3 plants, totalling 9. I am thinking this light has enough power to cover my entire floorspace of my tent (being 4x4) without losing too much power along the edges. Would I be able to put 9 in without worrying about losing yield, as long as I rotated which ones were directly under the light with the ones that are on the outside?

Am I close to a good plan, or am I WAY off the mark on this idea? Any suggestions would be great. Here's a link to the seeds if you're not familiar with Cream Caramel

that light seems to have all the bells and whistles.rough choice to make for 600 shipped.and it all depends on the size of the plants you want to grow.could probably get 9 In sog style. Buy the light and start a thread!

I'd say there suggested coverage area is way off.I'm guessing 3 by 3 or slightly larger.I'm getting my tax return I'n about a month.than most likely investing In leds. It gets so damn hot here.

150x3 watt LEDs isn't 450 watts....

Those LED's are probably running at just over 2 watts each... It's probably closer to 325-350 watts.

On alibaba it seems like they may be alot of the name brands suppliers, I'm tempted to buy a few.found a set the could be the diamond series without the diamond shaped lense.almost positive I found the dark star.

Just go to Eshine.com.... they make the diamond series/which IMO is the best chinese panel for sale here in the US(proven track record/good quality parts)....

I'm actually considering buying one of those BlackStar lights as everyone say they are proven, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pay the extra couple hundred bucks and buy the 900W one to start.. Might as well, I could get double or more yield so it's worth the extra couple hundred bucks. I'll start a thread when I get everything geared up, it will be within a month or so.
