MH or LED for grow tent set-up: help!

[The Continental]

Hi, long story short. I have a 8x8x6.5 ft grow tent. It is only going to be used for flowering. Not sure if I should use 4 X 600 watt MH lamps w/cool boxes or a LED light with the following technical specs (as advertised on their product description) :

Technical specifications:
• 367W power.
• 220V voltage.
• Frequency 50 Hz.
• Current 1.75A.
• IP 65 range.
• 95 ° opening angle.
• Weight 8.05kg.
• Measurements 23x8x4.5 inches.
• Useful life 50,000 hours.
• Lumens: 19526 lm at 3.3 ft.
• DLI: 24.7 mol / m2* / d.
• PPFD: 285.9 µmol / m2* / s.
• 70% light effectiveness.

*: DLI and PPFD calculated in meters.


Please, let me know your thoughts.

quantum boards are the best if you can afford them. mars hydro is probably the best quality most affordable . 4 tsw 3000's would rock it with that tent

Like stated above. Look into quantum boards. Higher upfront cost but will pay for itself in the long run.

If you're only flowering why would you use MH not HPS?? Like others have stated, quantum boards are the way to go, I switched from CMH to a Budget LED 500w series 3+ and this light is killing it!

Thank you all for your inputs. Will look into quantum boards.

If you're trying to fill an 8x8 that's 64 sq/ft.
If using LM301B diodes you'll need about 2000w.
4, 500w LEDs

4 TS3000 is a good choice for you.
