Hello guys I'm a medical cannabis user and have decided to grow for my personal needs I have chosen a 2×4×5 grow tent, my question is what size LED light would work best in that size tent? Thanks for any and all advice like I said I'm a newbie!

Id say as long as you have the heat and light to make it worthwhile you could start them early. But your setup really needs to be dialed in to have a positive effect.

I would go with a minimum 400w
 
hey i would not go with reflector series as they just arnt that great i have a mars hydro pro2 320 epistar its big so u could grab the smaller one of the 2 but i highly recommend the pro series

You won't find another light in that power range, with that coverage area for that price. The Pro Series is definitely a helluva lot better but it doesn't accommodate your grow space. Best you'd get in Pro is 2"x3" for $400+.

What wattage LED light should I go with and I'll just shop around thanks you
 
How many plants do you want or can you legally have? Thats what you should've asked yourself before buying a tent. I have the same size tent and know with 5 gal pots in there 3 plants is pushing it. 2 is comfortable. With that said you don't wanna poison the 2 ladies you plan on growing with too much light do you? I doubt it, I also doubt you will be running co2 which is needed to run massive amounts of light. So with your surface area of 8' (2'x4'=8') in order to achieve the ideal wattage for this area of 50w per sq ft you would need 400w as Penn stated earlier in this feed. The light I suggested, which has the same footprint as your surface has more than enough watts (312w baseline for 39w per sq ft) to produce nice yields of potent cannabis.

I live in California and my medical license States I can have 99 flowering now that is way too much for me I'm just honestly trying to go with three plants for personal needs, I like the light you suggested I'm probably going to go ahead and go with that as far as CO2 goes if I need it I'll run it I'm just going up in any advice you guys give me like I said I'm a newbie thanks again guys
