LED Wattage Calculator For Tent

[Sixty-Eight]

hey guys

 

just wondering what is the rule of thumb for applying LED lights to a grow tent?

 

do you

 

go by the amount of watts the light uses per square foot?

 

go by the output watts the light is rated to per square foot?

 

or do u just say fuck it and put as much LED light as possible in there?

 

im considering puting 3-4x 300watters in the 4x4 tent, yes i will be using more power than a 600w HPS but thats not my goal to acheive, my goal is to lower the heat over this summer at lease in the veg stage and may consider the LED's for flowering

I would go with this option......

 

 

fuck it and put as much LED light as possible in there

yeah as much as possible and as close as possible, remember L.E.D's don't have that penetration power like other do.
