Let there be light?

[cam23pro]

Hi Guys and Girls,

I'm new to the indoor scene and have been researching madly about how to start myself off on my first indoor grow having only a few outdoor runs under my belt.

I am excited and also overwhelmed with the options out there compared to growing outdoors.

Now the background info and my constraints;

• I intend on using a small walk in wardrobe as the space with a tent setup inside
• The space available roughly 0.9m x 0.7m x 1.75m without removing shelving 
• Ventilation may be very hard as its not near windows or roof cavity to run ducting it will pretty much flow out into a 3m x 3m room
• My consumption is quite low and its personal use id say 2-3oz should be plenty for a harvest based on short veg/autoflower grow cycle
• Low electricty usage, low noise and low heat output is the name of the game.

My options (feel free to chime in with others)

• CFL's 
• LED (Viparspectra 300w or 450w)
• Cob LED complete kit (no DIY options)
• HPS (Nanolux 400w variable running at 50%, 75%, & cooltube)

Personally, given its my first time indoors and I dont want to spend big to start off small I am thinking CFL's as it lends itself to low heat and low stretch with training however the vipar led's are still quite cheap and run cooler from the reviews I have read.

Given the space restrictions and whats out there i am looking at a 60 x 60 x 1.6 tent running 1-2 plants max, short veg/auto and just running clones/seeds in a smaller tent.

Please give me some advice about where I should be focusing my attention.

Have you ever heard about MEIZHI LED grow light, a Chinese brand. I am using 2 600W in my 1.5*1.5m tent
The light great, tight bud, all coated with resin 
4 MEIZHI 600W will be great.
a bit cheaper than Viparspectra

I've been using one for a couple of weeks,,,,did you use both blue and red in veg or just blue ?

No matter what you choose dont skimp on your ventilation! Those leds will still put out quite some heat (+30deg with lights on in that size tent). Edited November 30, 2017 by nici
