my question is i built a 2x3x3 1/2 box and would like to know should i use this led light or cfl lights. if cfl how many should i put in there, (23 watt = 100 watt) i can fit a max of 3 plants but thats pushing it. thanks dd.
I am using a 450w Viparspectra (non dimmable) in a 3x3 and though it worked fine for Veg I can tell it isnāt enough for flowering (both bloom and Veg switches are on since the plants were 3 weeks old). I plan on upgrading to this:
Itās has been recommended by a few users on this forum @dbrn32 @MattyBear @elheffe702
Edit: 2 of them like @Ron330 would have been better if I had known, but rather than buy another I am going to try the QB and throw the Viparspectra in my other tent with my Cobs for early Vegging

Thanks man! Your knowledge is always very helpful! So I have a descent buget for up grading my lights, The goal is to get a better yield! But I wanna be cost effective on the electric bill in the long run!

Do you have a grow journal going? Tag me there so I can see what youāre currently working with, and we donāt barge in on anyone elseās thread. If not, post in my diy thread and Iāll be happy to help.

I have 2 x 450 PAR dimmer set ups and use them for supplementary lighting in my outdoor greenhouse grow to extend the growing season for prolonged veg. Fans are silent and the air is drawn up through the fans and exhausted out the heat sinks.
Plants love them.
I believe the black marker dots signify 30/50/80 also.
I got one Iāve had about a month I like it itās doing a good job so far
Ill grow in my 4"4 tent 4 plants in 2 pcs of viparspectra reflector series 600W model and 3 pcs of t5ā¦and thats just enough for that spaceā¦
I just hung my second one now and the red and blue work but the white doesnāt. Itās pissing me off because the first one I bought only the red worked.
Iām done with them
