hi all, i have a 6ftx3ftx4ft grow room with 10 white widow xbig bud plants, at the moment i am vegging with 2 blackstar 240's with a 180 inbetween them the plants are 3.5 weeks old from germination & im going to veg for another 3 weeks i think, anyway after a bit of homework & recommendations i have been checking out the VIPAR A300's & was wondering if anyone with any experience with these leds know if 2 would be enough for my grow? 016.jpg

6x3 foot print? 4 feet high? I've only had my A300 for a little while now but I will say 2 will do that no problem. 2xA200 might work if you add your existing panels. It really depends on the height of the plants. Good Luck and Happy Growing!

According to the vipar website, at about 4ft the coverage of an a300 is 4x3 ft. I think 2 a300's will be more than enough especially since you have those other panels on hand in case things get crazy and you need some extra supplemental lights(like franjan said it will probably boil down to other factors like plant height ) i think you've found the perfect lights for your setup!

thanks guys i think i will be ordering them within the next few days & i must say alex you was part of my inspiration as i checked out your grows after being told about them by somebody else on here, The panels i am using at the moment are the veg model blackstars & i will have to sell them to get some of the money back for the price of the vipars, but if i had to maybe keep one back for supplement lighting would it be ok using a veg light along side a flower light? also i have another room with 4 plants in at about 2ft square do you think one of the vipar A100 would cope with this along side a blackstar 180? thanks for any help

Depends on what you want to do. for my 2x2 tent i prefer my a200 its 200w and really fits that tent perfectly in terms of light coverage, but thats a veg tent so if you want to flower im not too sure how well the blackstar veg panels will do a long a single a100 or in flowering in general.
