High guys

i kinda new to the user part of the forum but ive been seeking advice here through some time.
well the thing is, im going to try a LED grow for once.
my setup is going to be:
80x80cm growtent
Black Dog Led PhytoMax 2 200
2x grow bags 15l
advanced nutrients.
Coco,leca,perlite,vermiculite.

im going to have either 2 bad azz kush or 2 crticial kush, both from Barney's farm that im going to scrog over the space evenly, the guys from black dog writes alot about the footprint and im going to try and reach every inch of it.
Let me know what you guys think?
is this a sutible LED setup.
my past grow's has been a 250w Mh/Hps setup wich have given me around 180-200g in yeild can i expect the same with the phytomax?

First, I would highly recommend doing more research before you pull the trigger on that Black Dog Phytomax LED light. You can get a much better quality light for much less than the $600+ that the Phytomax costs.

Here's a link to all of the LED info you could ever want: https://www.rollitup.org/f/led-and-other-lighting.124/

Take a serious look at some COB lights, they cost less, and are more efficent, than single diode lamps like Black Dog. With a COB light you should be able to light your tent for around $400. COB's are the next generation of LED and are literally becoming HPS killers.

Not to sound narrowminded but iv'e already bought the BDL phytomax.
ive been trying to find recommendations and people really seem to like the power they produce so i just wanted to try them out.
Money really wasnt the factor, if it gives me 200g its already payed for the costs in terms of what i save not having to buy from some street guy.
im nearly always trying something i find interesting so cob lights may be the next adventure, this time though i really wanted to check if a company lives up to their rep.
im thinking about doing a grow journal when i recieve the light.

I have a black Dog phytomax2 and love it, I also have a kind 300 which is not as good, but I've been hearing a lot about cob lighting and I think I'll end up building a third box with it, run all three with the same strain and nutes, so I'm really excited to see how they turn out. I've already done a BD and Kind comparison and the Black Dog kills it, plus their light is white while Kind has that blurple which strains the eyes

Check out my Budmaster cob thread or their website. One cobx4 covers a 3x3 n ive her half on as full power is 2 intense for cuttings n in my 4x4 ive 2 cobx4 n a cobx9


Heres their aite firat grow I didnt believe their recommendation to hang the light to the tent frame n got aun burn but noq ive em on the frame n its magnificent they are completely modular so super easy to customise and I just received 16 120 lenses ill mix with the cobs. But Defo do research n buy alot of calmag

Thanks for the info, sounds like I'll have to get a full size tent for it instead of building a small cabinet
