Can you get At least a lb in a 4x4 with these lights?

I have a 4x4x6.5 tent and would like to know if it’s possible to get at least a lb each cycle from this lights. I was going to buy 2. 4 -6 Plants would be in soil in 5gal pots. I thought about going HPS but worried about the heat

At 300 watts each I would just go with a 600 hps or 630 watt cmh

Not enough light

2x 300w of unknown efficiency LED that cant be cooled vs 600w of hps that can be cooled.

I would go with the HPS in this case.

Are the cheap ipower setups on eBay any good don’t have much to spend

2-14-0 organic bud juice will be mixed into your soil at transplant. Gravely mixture mixed at 4 tbsp’s in and around your new seedlings. Don’t overwater as you’ll flush out your veg. Food. Before you change to 12-12 on-off. Then I’m switching to an organic 6-2-12 NPK Dutch Science bloom product, which should give 30%more bud growth. This is great as organically in earth with with proper ph- tested water, and optimum grow-area and condition,s Should be good and also you don’t have to flush. Otherwise timing your flush and perfect crystal will be hard to control. Too long of a flush your crystals won’t be eating nutrients for big bud, at the end when they need it, you end up starving your bud waiting for your flush and harvest and mature.diamonds to all co-inside with each other.I used to grow outdoors and the difference can make a big difference in when you stop feeding and start flushing. 4 plants in a 4x4 tent is a real joy and a lot less work. GL and hope this helps

I won't buy any ballast with an internal fan

I don't care for the internal fan, but they are cheap enough to be disposable

You would be much better off running a 600w HPS or a double bulb 630w CMH fixture.

This is my ideal fixture....but pricey. (sun systems is quality though)


There are an infinite number of combos of bulbs and hoods out there but basically any 630cmh fixture is fine, ideally you want to run Philips 3100k bulbs though.


If i was on a budget I would get this fixture


With these bulbs... You need two.

if your on a budget looking to go cmh gfo this route
2 of these

i personally just purchased 7 of these guys and the one i have up is working great so far! also heard from some other people these are pretty solid fixtures and they run the philips bulbs no prob, those ushios are pretty good to!

Yeah the Philips bulbs are the best but im sure Ushio is a close second or third (so close you cant tell the difference)

its not that big of a spectrum/lumen dif they are recommended pretty highly so i hear

Yeah all the top cmh brands perform within 5% of eachother.... Ive ran both Ushio and Philips bulbs... they are all great. Just gotta avoid running shit like vivosun or ipower.

Are you doing a scrog net. Maybe it’s your best option as you will flower each stock with extra light

I'm a nobody so take what I say with a grain of salt. I just browse this site for information regularly, don't post much of anything. But Ive used 1 X6 cob led in a 3x3 and pulled 9 oz. Dry growing in soil once. I use the enfun 240 watt lm301b led from Amazon at the moment. It has a dimmer switch and mean well driver. It's priced around the same as the X6 last I checked. But the Heat from the X6 light was moderate and it was efficient for the wattage output at the wall. I too am budget friendly and never used the most expensive bells and whistles in my garden. I'm also what people would refer to as a newbiie though. But I think 2 of those lights would perform well in a 4x4 space with the right set up. That enfun light I mentioned (240 watt 2 panel version) is advertised to cover a 4x4 space. If I were you I would get that light instead of two X6 cobs. In my opinion you get more specs for the same amount of money roughly and the ability to dial the driver up and down as well as adjust the light intensity as needed. The enfun light is also expandable so you can add more panels if you require more light. I hope I was of some help.

I can't speak for the quality of the reflectors except the bat wings are junk like all the others, but I've been running multiple 600w and 1000w Ipower ballasts for over a year now and have had no issues. (Except with the one I dropped... )

Their ballasts are good. The air cooled hoods are ok. But the bulbs are JUNK.

I grow in a Coat Closet, 8 plants, under 2-1000 HPS, with AC, Blower Fans. I get my biggest yield growing Blue Dream.

Weight I'm not sure, but I fill up Ball Jars by the dozen. this was Magic Melon and Purple Punch.

Is the any good light I can get for 200 or under I can pick up something better in time

How big of a grow space?

This is a perfect light for a 3x3.
