Lighting a 5x5

Bazza555 · Jan 2, 2020

Hey guys i am looking making few adjustments next run. Ive got a 5x5 tent with 2 600w hps i was looking at possibly adding a small 100w mh but they dont sell them that small. What would be a good alternative to add?

I did a 5x5 with two HLG550s and it worked well, I only had them at about 350 watts a piece.

Since you posted in the LED section I thought you might be switching over to the dark side...

Before you ADD anything, first get rid of those damn HPS and get on board with LED. That 1200w will be reduced to 8-900 and I imagine the tent is either cool tubed lights or your cooling it somehow?

I think you can get 150w MH and you can get various wattage ceramic metal halides or you could add some UV tubes.

i got a 1000w luxx de hps and a metal halide bulb, a 6 in exhaust fan and 2 6 in clips fans in a 5x5x7, seems to work well
