    Default Light for new setup

    Hello, i'm searching components to build a 100x100x200, and light as been a big question, i found the mars hydro 300 with a very low price, will it be enough?Or should i plan to get atleast 2 mars hyrdro 300? thanks in advance.
    I'm thinking in growing all year that why i'm thinking of led, in winter we get cold temperatures but we have the house warm, but in the summer we get very high temperatures.
    Also i'm planing on using 1 carbon filter and vents tt 100 to extract, and a fan for air intake.

    If you have the budget for 2 mars 300s then I would have a look at the HLG board kits. I'm not sure if they are available where you live but eBay and Amazon do stock them

    Mars 300s are 1st generation leds, the HLG are 3rd + generation so will produce roughly twice the light for the same power and far beyond HID

    Actually i found a really nice deal on mars 300 on ebay, they are selling them for around 35euros.
    to be honest i'm really getting so confused about the light with so many research, watts,lumens,par.... :O

    An little update i already bough one 1200 grow led (real 280w) lets hope that can give good results, was a deal that could not be wasted since was the only one for selling.
    but i still accept advice for future improvement.

    Good to see your putting some kit together

    That light is good for 2 plants if you want a decent yield, maybe 3 but I would do no more than 2

    Go for the bigger tent, space is always good.

    You might want to start a diary up so people can follow along

    You'd like a stronger Dimmable 1200w led expensive as fuk. For the size real 600w is alot better than you have though. You'll end up being squeezed for size even with 1 plant in that space if you train it real good. Saying it's not enough light is ok for 3 but not 4 I think is wrong. Just saying

    I had 120x120x240 and 4 was too crowded I think 2 or 3 would have been better.

    I used auto flower and they're not keen on hst apparently so I didn't for my first grow.

    Except topping 2 which I recommend very early if auto
