New Grower Hello autoflo world!!

Most people seem to have opted for the 240 and 290 watt models. As long as you keep your light at the proper height you shouldn't have any issues with it. 18 - 24" during veg and 12 - 16" during flower.

Meant to ask, how big is your grow area?

2x2

You should do well then with that light in that size space. The core penetration area for that light is 1.5 x 1.8' and they do best when growing with in the core, so you should be good. My 240 watt unit is in a 5 sq. ft. area, so I'm getting 48 watts per sq. ft. You've got 4 sq. ft. and will be getting 45 watts per sq. ft. Mine does a great job so I expect yours will as well. Do you have the inside walls lined with reflective material or painted white?

I'm also thinking about getting some black stars 240

It should do very well then with the reflected light helping a lot.

I'm finding that the two 240 watters in my 3 x 4' space aren't quite enough, so am thinking of adding a 3rd one. I still prefer my GLH. Growth is better and the buds are bigger and tighter than with the Blackstars.

I wish mine were like that they just get burnt.(glh). But maybe the new blackstars could be a game changer..
