Best LED Light For 2×2 Grow Tent- How Many Watts Need?
What To Look For In An LED Grow Light?
Since many of our first-time buyers experience difficulty choosing the best LED grow lights for their plant’s particular needs, our team of experts offer these tips for choosing LED grow lights. Here you`ll find all the vital information for making an informed choice and selecting the right product and model.
What is wattage?
A wattage is a unit used to measure the amount of power/ energy consumed on lighting a bulb. Most people mistake wattage for brightness. Wattage doesn’t measure brightness but there is a positive correlation between the number of watts and the brightness of the bulb measured in lumens.
The number of plants
As much as you want to grow more plants in the marijuana grow tent one thing should be certain. Plants need breathing space and hence should be adequately spaced depending on the type of plants.
The number of plants in the growing area is also a variable essential that should never be ignored when determining the number of watts needed per square foot. The more the number of plants the higher the wattage requirement and vice versa!
Watts per square foot is the most common way people determine what size LED light(s) they need, but it is not the only way. It is also not the most accurate way, but it is a good compromise between accuracy and simplicity.
Because the truth is: determining how powerful an LED grow light to get, and how many of them you need, is the most complicated of all types of lighting. This is due to the huge variation in lights and to the fact that most manufacturers flat out lie about the specs of their lights.
Most LED grow lights usually be able to cover about 1- 6 plants. If you want to grow any more plans than this, I’d purchase multiple lights to hang side by side ( called daisy chaining ) to cover the canopy and ensure each plant is getting enough light.
Note: 1 sq ft grow space = 50 watts LED grow light
So you will need about 200W LED grow light for your 2x2 grow tent.
CANAGROW 200W CREE CXB3590 COB LED Grow Light
The Cree COB LED Grow light is one of the best in delivering an ideal light spectrum to your plants. The CANAGROW 200W CREE CXB3590 COB LED Grow Light makes use of this LED to provide a full spectrum light to your plants. The COB LED grow light has a longer lifespan, produce better light quality, and highly efficient than traditional grow lights. It can readily replace a 400W HPS grow light. The grow lamp uses high quality components from the top companies in the world. The parts are waterproof, ensure a stable voltage and a long lifespan.
Optic 2 Gen4 Dimmable COB LED Grow Light
The Optic 2 Gen4 by Optic LED features white-light technology via 2 x CREE CXB3590 chip-on-board arrays. Supplemental Cree and Samsung diodes surround each COB to further enhance the spectrum and increase intensity. Secondary lenses surround each COB and LED to further increase intensity.
Optic LED's spectrum ranges from 380nm to 780nm, covering the entire PAR spectrum + UV-A and near-infrared (far red). The additional green light helps increase photosynthesis deep in the leaves and inside the canopy. Far-red light, when combined with red light, has been proven to increase the rate of photosynthesis.
Some Final Thoughts
Plants just like humans need some vital things to survive, but getting the best of what you need can only result in better quality. In other words, if you provide plants with the best LED grow lights that cover every aspect of lighting a plant needs then your crop can and will be the best it can be.
