Help! Need Advice on LED Lights

onil182 · Sep 5, 2020

Hi Friends I´m new to the forum,

I purchased on amazon Yehsence Triple Chips 1500W growing lamp, however the real power consumption of this light is 250W when turning on both veg/bloom switches. I´m growing 4 plants in a 60"x60"x80" tent and have been getting low yields about 1oz per plant (dried and cured) for a total of 4oz (dried and cured) maybe a bit more between all four plants... are these lights too weak for blooming? if so, what are the best Lights for this space?

Growing on coco, FoxFarm Trio nutrients, PH up Down FoxFarm, CalMag+ Botanicare, RO Water, PH and PPM always checked, I´ve been growing for a year now, 3 harvest completed, getting better each time but still missing something and guessing on the lights

Thanks for your help!!

Hello,

Welcome to RIU. Yes those lights are very underpowered for your space. 25 square feet with min 30 watts per square foot says you want 750 watts, you only have 250.

Thanks bro

, what would be the best possible lighting system I can get for this space? I've been doing research and found goodreviews on the spider farmer Sf4000 however, only consumes 450w which is still low if I need 750w

I'm running an sf 4000 in a 4x4 scrog. It performed very well.

It really depends. The SF4000 would work fine in a 4x4. As for best lighting it depends in your budget. Timber and HLG are higher end and have great reviews. What are you looking to spend?

Thanks I´m going to google them I want to get maximum yield possible from lights, dont really have a limit, perfect price for me would be around 400-500 as I have 4 growing tents but if I have to invest more money I will

I wish I had a number for ya but I only have a 100 gram scale...and it just seemed like such a chore to weigh it all. If I had to guess I'd say about 5 or 6oz. per plant and I got pollinated somewhere around week 6 of flower. So in think I could have got a bit more out of them...but anyway here's to next time...lol
