Hello i am a noob to this i had one onther grow witch was great but i been researching other lighting since i was using t5 lights 4 bulb 4ft and i got 6 ounces off two auto vertigos from paradise seeds. now i am about to grow 2 white widow xxl in my 4x2 closet. i been researching lighting and seen mars hydro 300w for a good price since i only grow two plants at a time do you think two mars hydro 300w would be good for two plants in a 4x2 closet from veg to flower. Are led good for a complete grow with just led from veg to flower. Any info will be highly appreciated since all knowledge is good knowledge i am trying to see the best way to grow in small space with no heat. But i jsut dont know if 2 mars hydro 300w will be good enough for a 4x2 closet with 2 plants.Please help
 
Two 300 w lights will be more than enough for your plants.I use a t5 for veg than change to led after about thirty days.I have seen great grows from using led's from start to finish and great results using t5's at first than led's but there pretty much the same so try doing both and make your own mind up.
 
I would use a 400w cool tube. I used my 600W HPS cool tube in my closet for a few grows and as long as you vent it out the closet the heat is not bad. A friend had a 250W black dog LED and it produced a lot more heat than I expected. You could also run a 250 HPS which if done with a cool tube produces very little heat. I had a 250 not cooled and it was not bad at all. I pointed a fan up at the light for cooling and could put my plants super close to it. I have had plants as close at 6" from my old 250. My 600 I have had plants as close as about 8" to 10" but it started bleaching my plants and caused fox tailing at that close. If you seal the room with any light your going to need cooling.
 
One of those Mars led lights for just two plants is fine. If you decided to grow 3 or 4 plants, then the second light would come into play and be more important and desired.
 
Thanks everyone sorry I didn't reply faster I was without phone for a while. I got two 300w mars hydro now and am germinating three candy kush autos from auto seeds I hope 2 will be enough for three plants but many people been telling me it will be more then enough. Do you you know how high I should hang them while seedling and in veg I am not sure what distance is best. But any will be highly appreciated and again thanks for answers all new info is good info I'm still learning about autos.
