you might want to consider HPS if you dont know much about LED.

Are you trying to start a war or something dude? Your not aloud to mention HPS anymore. No one wants to hear one can yield 2.5 pounds easy on a DE HPS lamp with a low yielding strain. The cost is like 330.00 for that also. So be careful what you preach. Be ready to defend the battle field like your a Targanion.

you dont ever need to go over 4 weeks veg. Period, unless you are trying to break a world record

i would not say that.
Veg time depends on if its from seed and to fill what size canopy area with how many plants

Hey guys just wondering if this idea will work or if it will fail... I was going to setup a 10x5x7 LA Garden tent in my basement. I am going to use 2 x Meizhi 1200w LED grow lights (total 2400w). and also throw in another 2 x Viparspectra Dimmable Series PAR450 450w LED lights (900w total). So my total wattage be 3300w of LED lighting.

*sigh*

It doesn't work that way. Putting 2 1200 watt lights in the same room doesn't give you 2400 watts. It gives you better coverage of 1200 watts.

The ONLY thing that gives you MORE watts is a more powerful light. Other than that, all you will ever be doing is just getting better coverage of the same wattage.

So, in your setup, you're running 1200 watts max. Period.

But you do have good coverage of that wattage...which does help a lot.

lol no war starting here. Im just preaching if you dont know much about LED stick with and EASIER proven method. and I can back up my cost quotes all day. 330 will get you a complete 600 set up ballast, bulb, and reflector. 450 will get you the same but 1k. and LOL at the DE comment. that shits a hoax. just more unnecessary money

i veg monsters from seed in 4 weeks. if they went longer I would grow 12 foot beasts. I already have to do heavy LST in order to keep them from smashing my lights into my 8ft ceiling.

330.00 gets you this. And an easy 2.5 units on a 4 week veg. Best lamp out for sure.

industry standard where im at. Im personally not a fan of dimming ballasts either. Solistek Matrix is hands down the best digital ballast on the market

HTG is running a special rn too. 200 for a 1k Matrix

But your not trying to fill a canopy by the sounds of it.

Could that one plant fill a 4 x 4 scrog net in 4 week veg from seed?

For a budget that small and with how much yield you want i'd suggest going with traditional single ended hps. You can upgrade later to led if you want.

are you serious? 1 plant in a 4x4? please refrain from starting irrelevant arguments.

lol, don't worry about it, it's legit advice, most people who start growing with led's fail anyway.

This is probably wrong. Id bet that.

Im not sure how thats irrelevant..or an argument.

My point was veg time is dependent on plant count to fill a canopy. Its not a cut and dried figure of 1 month.

This makes zero sense.

i figured that was obvious. seeing as OP posted about 12 plants. I apologize that i assumed no one would spend the money on an op to grow 1 plant from seed, veg for months to fill the canopy of a 12x5 room etc......

2.5 with 1 light? I'll believe it when I see it. That's realistic if you have several lights to take advantage of the overlap
