Please Help. New to LEDs

2x4 is a great setup....I have a HydroHut Silver Addition that is actually 2.5'x4.5'. I used to grow 5-6 plants in it until I got smart and now get the same yield with only 2 plants that fill it up very well. I use 2 - ProSource 180W jumbo LED's and they do very well in this tent.....I've run 400W HPS in it too but had more heat issues thus higher vent fan speeds. Either way you can yield at least 8oz in that space if not more using advanced SCROG methods. My zippers still work too.

That depends are you growing DWC with buckets? You can ony fit four 5 gallon buckets in a 4x2 tent if your growing with DWC buckets. For your LED lighting checkout HTGSupply's 120watt Tri-Band, lets out about equivelant to a 600w HPS. Just remember each plant deserves 100watts, so if youve got 4 plants you need minimum 400watts output in the tent.

Sounds good. I'll look into that tent and LEDs you have. Hope there all under my price range!

I'm goin to grow with soil. And start off with 3gal pots. And I will also look into those lights! So would it matter if I grow lowryders also?

when are people going to learn that LEDs are just not worth it? just get yourself a 400 or 600 watt HID and maybe a cooltube for the tent.

Can a 90wat LED grow at least 2 lowryders, or more? If so how many for this kind of wattage. Or maybe a break down of x amount of plants to x amount of LED wattage. That would better my understanding.

Hmmm....2-180W LEDs @ $500 each...they were paid for in one grow.

Hey bro.. I just got myself a 1000wtt LED system off Ebay cheap as hell 2, I might add!! A hell of a lot cheaper then my 1000 wtt MH & balist set-up! And with the LED'S I can "already" tell a HUGE change in the over all way the girls are responding to it, verses the MH.. idk maybe its just me, & the 1,000 + other growers that notice a diference.. just my opinon.
