LED Lighting Advice needed for new grow!

Hey there guys,

So ive always used HPS lights and now im finally converting to LED lights.
And this will also be my first grow in YEARS.
So it could get interesting

Im only doing a small grow of about 4 plants in a tent that is 120x120x200cm

The lighting i have is :

2x 120w Quantum Boards 3000k
2x 100w Cree CXB3590 5000k
1x 100w Cree CXB3590 3500k

Total : 540w

Will this be enough?
Do i need any other type of lighting also?

Thanks

That is more than enough light for a 4x4, wattage wise. the problem would be getting an even spread with an odd number of cobs

Are you running the cxb cobs at 100w each?
Have you dimming capabilities
You'll need to hang them 100w cobs higher
Probably be better to get another 100w cxb, either a 3000k or 3500k, then put one in each corner with the 120 QBs in the middle.

That sounds like a good plan,think ill do that then!

65w Max outta the cobs man. 100w is a big heatsink/fan requirement.

Also, those two 5000K is more than enough blue. Anything new you get, get in 80-90Cri 2700-3000K.
