In a 2x2, I'd definitely consider an SGS-160... it'd be a bit overkill (2x3 footprint), but would guarantee some sexy ass plants. lol
I don't want to be rude but you are not answering my question.. I don't have that kind of cash mate neither looking for the best light..

Hm, this one seems pretty worth (as the guy above said, kinda expensive, but worth).. I might have missread the product details first time, thought it was 'bigger'..
Thanks!

The Ultimate for a 2'x2' would be the Apache Tech AT200 r/w at 200 watts.

The Cali Light Works Solarflare is 165 watts.
Hans is 65 watts.
Rhinogrow 400 has 165 watts and the 200 has 80 watts.
Plantphotonics has different sizes, although the 140 would be for a 2'x2'.

There is an endless list of cheap Chinese panels available from Ebay or direct from the manufacturer if you are a "gambler".
Oh Yeah! I could stop the transaction in time, not gonna waste my money in the blackstar/chinese crap anymore.. learned my lesson!!
Better go with 2x Hans 65w for 2x rooms 2'x2'(1 each room)!! Followed some journals like PSOAGRO's one (that was great)..
Just love it..
HELP: What brains/seed bank should I go with (auto is better, right?)? I just start that concern since the light is chosen! THANKS! :hump:

Auto isn't better by default. Some Auto's are good, some suck. Personally, I would do 12/12 from seed with an Indica or Indica Dom. hybrid. Make sure you LST, HST, or Scrog - it's the best way to maximize yield with LED.

Good Luck!

Which one is better? Please don't say 'both suck'. 1. LED Panel Grow Light - 14W Quad Band 225 LED 2. UFO LED Grow Light - 50W. The panel is much cheaper than the ufo. which one cover wider area?

The guy locally wants 1000 dollars apiece for his.


Alibaba.com cheap chinese stuff is crap but you can always replace the burned-out LEDs. I grabbed a BlackStar500 clone for less than $300, shipped. It puts out about 360watts and is fairly nice. I tried a side-by-side of the BlackStar500 clone and a digi-600w HPS, both produced about the same everything except the buds from the LED were more dense.

I have started using the BS500 clone with indoor sativas and the 600-1000HPS with denser indicas, everything is perfect. :)

LEDs are no joke....... Even the cheap Chinese shit which needs replaced LEDs for $5 each - every 6 months.

You might manage one small plant with #2. You'd do much better with the same amount of money on CFL.

CFL is a good option. But I think grabbing some Cree bulbs from home depot and as more as you get more money and as the plant/plants get larger would be another option for starting LED. There are a couple threds around here of people using them. I just picked some up for clones and side lighting.

So what would you guys recommend for a 4x4 grow tent?

I try and stay up to date on what's posted in the Hydro section on eBay, do I have better things I could spend my time doing... maybe... maybe... ha

Im sure we've all noticed the repetition that runs these pages so I thought id try and mix things up a bit- try and get people to see, there ARE good brands out there.. and sometimes for a deal. Just have to put a little bit of effort into things... yah feel me? So, to keep things fresh..

I think a couple of those could be pretty sweet deals... sounds like Advanced has given one "special" seller the permission to sell all their diamond series models. "Premium Seller" lol
