I am currently planning my first closet grow tent.
What I already have : 2x Mars 300W LED light.
What I on my buy list
2x4x5foot Fusion hut
Cloudline T4 4inch inline fan + carbon filter 4 inch
Either one more 300W mars led OR Mars reflector 96
So, I was bought two 300W mars led thinking it would be enough for my 2x4 tent. I figured it would not be enough so I have two option,
1st I was thinking about making my old wardrobe into a veg room for my mom and clones, so I could keep one 300W for the wardrobe and buy a reflector 96 and use it along with a 300W in the bud room… or use 3x 300W and buy something else for the veg room?
Keep in mind that money is not really a problem here, but I would like to get use of these 300W light since I bought them lolll
Tought people? Thanks alot for helping a newbie out
There’s not a lot of lights ready to go in a 2x4. I’d probably recommend going with one of the 4 cob 300 watt options from timber grow lights. They also sell kits if you want to assemble yourself and save a few bucks. If you don’t mind assembling a kit, I would definitely check out horticulture lighting group kits. You want to get to probably 300 watts or so. So 2 of their boards running 150 ish, or 3 around 100 watts would be good. If you want to go from start to finish look around 3500k. If you want to primarily veg but also flower, then go 4000k. If you think an area would be primarily flower go with 3000k.
And honestly for the seedlings, I’d probably run a couple of fluorescent around 6500k. Cfl’s will work, or even some of those under cabinet fixtures in led or fluoro, just make sure it’s a cold white.
