LED.....worth it or not?

Hey people.....I recently moved and lost my setup so now I purchased a 4x4x7 grow tent so now I'm looking for LED light that will su it my space. I checked out a Meizhi reflective 1200 watt should this cover a 4x4 or any othe suggestions would be 2 greatly appreciated.
...

Are you wanting a pre built unit or diy? You can save a little going the diy route.
I would look into cob lighting.

Check out growmau5 on you tube and then go buy a light from timber

I have a few of the exact Meizhi 1200 you're talking about and so far I love them, well my plants seem to for sure. I couldnt give you any hard stats about their performance but after about a month of having them I can say I'd buy more. Ive been growing with HPS and MH for about 5 years and the growth is very, very similar, if not better. For less power.
Anyhow just my opinion and good luck

Thanks for the info my friend as you were the only one with any on this LED. J Don't Know Jack Shit About Growing With LED but I read up on what you want from them technical wise and they seem to have all the right stuff. I looked at your pic the lights seem so far away like one of those have no business in a 4x4x7 grow tent

Dont buy that crappy Meizhi light. COB LED is where you want to be. You can dial in your spectrum, power utilization, and light angles. You can DIY (cobkits.com) or pay double or more and buy one. Typically in bloom, you have a cob light at least 12" away from canopy, and at least 18" in veg. Most seem to put them a little further. I'm in flower right now, 15" away.

Grab a measuring tape and find out how much grow space you actually have. Assuming you can raise your light 15" from the top, add the minimum distance to canopy and the rest is your grow space. Subtract the height of your pot, and that is the largest you can allow your plant to get. Half of that distance is the height your plant needs to be when flipped into flower to get the most bang for your buck.

Hope that helps,good luck and happy growing.
