    Default Best lighting option for a 2x2x3 micro grow?

    Hey all, i'm planning on starting a single plant grow in a 2x2x3 tent, all that's left for me to do is find a suitable light for this, i'd rather spend less but if it comes down to quality i'm willing to spend more, I mainly need a light that wont burn my plant at a close distance that also produces good results, recommendations and personal experience appreciated greatly, ty.

    yeah, hlg come highly recommended here. aim for around 100-150watts for that space.

    i assume you're doing a single plant based on your height. scrog or lst would be your best option to keep them low

    I'm assumin the 2x2x3 is foot? Dunno how close you'll get an LED, I've had problems at 14 inch in flower with light burn. Msg vivid, tell him the score and he'll probably be able to see you right. Cfl you can get as close as 1-2 inch but they're about 4 inch wide and 40 cm long, good luck man.

    Try lookin at this 1 plant light build from Silkadin https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-for...ld-for-1-plant

    I think i'll go with the HLG 100V2 with blue & red spectrum kit, 95 true watts + i've got about 15w of led I can use for supplemental lighting during flower, would you recommend this? Thanks

    Yeah I should've specified it was in feet, cfl would be good but I think it'd be too difficult to set up 100W of cfls in such a small space, do you think a HLG 100 V2 would suffice? 95 true watts so I probably wont have problems with my plant getting burn't as long as I train it extensively, Cheers

    Even at 3ft, I couldn't find a suitable led so had to make one... made 2 now actually. Not the cheapest option but the best imo. Prior I used 2 cfls in a 3x2x3 space but wanted to use less electricity.

    If interested I did build diaries for em
