I would avoid a short tent if you can especially using LED you need to be able to have the head space if needed
And id go with Vivosun over the over priced gorilla tents avoid hydro shops is you can these tents are well made

Amazon product ASIN B01DXYMKIO
pick up some mega crop for nutrients maritimers need to stick together
Im currently using a Aglex 2000w LED draws about 430w from the wall would be perfect for a 3x3 tent but I cant recommend yet intil I get a few harvest in

Do I use mega crop all the way through?

Nice like that light, slightly less know Actual wattage but not bad, doesn't seem to be an option in UK tho.. would have given it a try.

Yea if you really want medicinal then CBD strains way forward.. so many out there! Ones with low THC and ones with high THC and everything in between.

Where can I get that?

How many plants you growing, what's your space?? A 40w bulb is not going to replace 800w my Telos 008 was 240 Actual wattage and replaced around 400w hps. My tent is 1.2 X 1.2 that's 15.5 sq ft I'd need at least 4 of those lights in order to fill that space and would be 160w and that would not replace 800w HPS more like 150-200w HPS

If your area is 1.2' x 1.2' then you have 1.44 sq foot of area, not 15.5 sq ft.

I like to think in terms of lumens, lux or PAR (for LED lighting) That Watts is a real "nothing" when it comes to light. Watt is a measure of energy or power. 1000 watt bulb will burn 1 Kw or electric energy/ hour. Plant's don't care about watts, they care about light output and spectrum. You can overcome the first by distance to plants.. closer is more intense light. You can only overcome light spectrum by the light you buy. It will only and always have what it was designed for in spectrum. My one 40W SANSI light puts out 35,800 lumens at 1 foot from the light. The lumen goes goes down pretty quickly the further you get away from the bulb, but that is the case with all artificial light. EXCEPT if you grown in a confined area that has full silver reflective material on the sides, bottom and top. More lumens are available for the plant further down from the bulb (source) in this instance.

A surface area of one square meter on Earth receives typically about one kilowatt of sunlight from the sun (the solar irradiance) (on a clear day at mid day, close to the equator) source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt Just an example...

The plants I grew under those two lights thrived and grew strong and green. Finally got a chance to put them outside when the danger of frost had lessened. They are doing great. I would like a tent someday as a lot of my light is spread out too much and does not have the light the plant needs at it's lower branches.

SANSI light spectrum:

I choose the bulb, not because of the wattage, but because of the spectrum of daylight light it puts out.

Also this link gives an excellent accounting of grow lights and talk about COB lights. : https://www.epicgardening.com/cob-led/

1.2 x 1.2m = 1.44m2 or 15.5 ft2.

Be good to see some grows of yours. Of course wattage has a say, more wattage more Par/Lumen. I too chose my light due to the spectrum, but have to also consider how many plants you want to grow, now if your moving your plants outside at some point then that's a different story as your have all the light in the world haha. I have grown with a 600w hps from seed to harvest (One grow, my first) then I have done a couple with my Viparspectra 900 (Not sure of actual wattage, but I longer got it) and then two grows with Telos 008 240w, I always grow four strains and can say hands down my 600w HPS outperformed my Viper or my Telos, and I am pretty confident my 451w Phlizon with out performed them all.

All I know if I was growing inside (Which I am ) from seed to harvest then I'd want more than 148w, maybe if doing less plants but definitely with more plants I want the light (Stop girls fighting over it lol)

I'd be interested in those lights to top up what I already have, but wouldn't want that to be more main source of light from seed to harvest indoors.

But everyone has there preference and what works best for each individual is what matters at the end of the day so long as we all end up with enough bud that's all that matters haha [emoji3522]

So can I use the 451w Philzon from seed to harvest?

That stuff is expensive! How much of it do you use at a time?

For the most part I use a tiny silver scoop. I put a little bit of bud in my vaporizer drop in 3 scoops, then more bud on top. You can use it in liquids as well.
