Tgats why i need a new one i think. I bought 1000 watt but didn't save paperwork but so don't know actual wattage. I noticed tgeyll say compareable to 400 watt HPS for instace. Or itll say output of 200 watts fromwall. What exactly am i looking for it to say?When looking at led make sure you look at actual draw watts. The manufacturers tend to exaggerate a bit. You should check out our sponsors. I know Mars Hydro just released a new sp model. @SmokeSara would be the lady to ask about that one. I run 2 Timber Grow lights in my veg closet and I gotta say their top quality for the price @TimberGrowLights. Good luck on your quest bro!!
It should tell you actual draw watts, like my California Lightworks SS440 you would think its 440watts but its actually 350watt draw max. What brand of light do you have?Tgats why i need a new one i think. I bought 1000 watt but didn't save paperwork but so don't know actual wattage.

The main thing that's bothering me is... I have one grow under my belt. Buds came out really nice. Goodbuzz. Totally happy. However the plant size at harvest was only about 18 inches MAYBE. 24 inches.It should tell you actual draw watts, like my California Lightworks SS440 you would think its 440watts but its actually 350watt draw max.

No not dead set. I use then cause it was my first time and i knew LED didn't give off much heat. Your set up sounds great. Can u tell me the name?Are you set on LED? Do you have heat issues? Why not look at CMH lighting? It's Ceramic Metal Halide 315 watts. Great light. I am currently using it on my 4x4 grow and it's going well. It would be killer in a 2x2 tent. It doesn't give off much heat compared to HPS.
Wiw thank youHere is the one I have. I got a different bulb though. Look up 315 watt CMH and do some reading. Amazon.ca
Love that. Looks like itll fit my tent fine. And it's 315 actual watts?Here is the one I have. I got a different bulb though. Look up 315 watt CMH and do some reading. Amazon.ca
Thank you very much. I will now be looking for a new MARSHYDRO!!!!! and yes feet...i ordered wrong one lolHi Nicky, So now I know your space. it is only 2x2x4, is it meter or feet? I suppost feet?
If it is feet, then the space is a little limited, as led grow lights you will need 30~50w/sft, so you need the mostly 200w from the wall for the led grow lights, otherwise, it will have issues as well. Since your height is also limited, I would suggest you run lower wattage.
Now for the Mars 300w or Mars ECO 300 is almost 130w, which can give you 32w/sft. The 600w light will give you more than 60w/sft, which will be over power. So I would suggest you get one 300w light, and then add another smaller (30~50) wattage side light to compensate in flowering.
But if you mean 2x2x4m, then it is another story. You will need much more lights.
