Okay I attempted growing first with HID lights and my electric bill was skyrocketing out of control. I know nothing about LED lights but did want to get my feet wet. I found this:

OceanRevive® 500W LED Grow Light 5w LEDs Greenhouse Indoor Hydroponic Plant Growth Veg Flowering Lamp Fixture

Or

Apollo Horticulture 288W Full Spectrum LED Grow Light for Indoor Plant Growing


I have no clue what to look for. I only want to do about 1 to 2 plants at a time. Also only want to spend up to 250-300 on a about light. I have a 4x4 tent and growing withave DWC. Will I need any other lighting or can I get an all in one unit? Any and all information is very appreciated. Also, good beginner stains please :)

ocean revive^^ sounds like some assisted living housing...........probably just as frail and past it's prime..lol

http://www.bonsaihero.com/index.php/ledgrow-led-panel-80-w will do 2 indica dom girls(less than a month veg) with very low electrical consumption @ around $300 shipped........won't even come close to covering a 4x4 though, your budget is very limiting for quality led lighting..

NL is the epitome of indoor strains and easy to grow...

Okay thanks man. Yeah, I didn't know anything about it and figured price would have to give. Lol. Do you have any experience with that light you provided?

The BlackStar V2 240W (140W actual) would do the trick @~$285 new.

I'm actually trying to sell mine but no luck yet.

Do you use that with your currant nut system? And do you have a rough idea of possible yield from it?

Ok yeah I was just wondering because I'm using the recipe for success and didn't know if Cal mag is what you use alone or if you use a group of different nuts plus calmag
