Led grow help!

[TurboDreams]

Alright fellow growers. I'm upgrading my cfl's to led. I've narrowed it down between

Plantinum led P300

Or

Advance Led lights 3w 100 series

My tent is only 24x24x48 3-4 plants in 3 gallon pot.

Any advise or pros and cons between the 2 besides the price difference.

Those are both real nice lights. I have a Advanced DS XTE 200

I would want to put a light in there that pulled 150-200w at the wall The Advanced 3w 100 pulls 85. The 3w 200 pulls 185 and would be a good pick.

In something that size I would be put a MarsHydro Reflector 96x3W it pulls 170-200w and cost about $150-165

I say that because you only have 48" of height. I just don't think you will need the lens those other lights have in there so much. I would want as close to 50w psf as I could get and I would not be worrying about penetration power so much.

How many watts you put in will play a big role in how many grams you get out each crop. It should run about 1gram for every watt pulled from the wall.

Thanks for everybody's response. What I decided to do was wait on getting a good LED light. I want to perfect my growing technique first before I invest $500 in a new light. I was given a few gift card to amazon so I picked up 2 galaxy hydro led 300 watt lights. And I gotta say holy crap they give off a lot of light. They were only 130.
