Greetings and salutations gentlemen and scholars! Got a couple of questions I was hoping to get some feedback on..
I'm making a change in lighting to LED's help with both heat issues and to lower my costs hopefully.. I will either have a closet grow setup or possibly a tent with similar dementions, previously I've used a 600w hps/hortilux in similar dementions. Can I not just replace my 600hps with a 600w LED? I've been reading and I've heard very low sq/ft per watt ratios on LED @25-35 per sq/ft and I've seen some that say they should be comparable to hps @55-65 watt per sq/ft.. What's the ideal watt per sq/ft and what's the max?
Also, any recommendations on good quality LED with true full spectrum for both phases..? Pics are great.. Thank you very much everyone!! I look forward to mastering LED soon!!!
