ukdabs Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi ya'll, im looking to get an LED for my 1.4 x 1.4 setup, ( i no strange size tent but its ideal for my space, as i cant fit 1.5 x 1.5 and its better than 1.2 x 1.2) i want to buy a top of the range LED, and id like to get around 1000watt, incase im ever able to increase my space it will come in handy. Trying to find peoples opinion on the scenario im in, is the lumatek zeus 1000 xtreme ppfd co2 too much lighting for my space at full blast? i will try keep the canopy fairly low as i can i guess.. thinking i might get the controller with it so i can dim it to say 90%. And i understand i need some co2 because of the extra power, im looking to do the bottle technique with sugar and yeast, any one have any idea on the PPM levels that makes? thanks!

Herbal Kint Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yeast is a joke,bottle you can control but it's pricey with all needed gadgets. 600w sounds perfect for that space,or 600w pro if you use co2. Or get a 1000 and run on 60%,but sounds like wasted 500pounds. If it's your first grow I'd go with ventilation instead of co2 bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It's overkill for sure. I get that you might have a bigger space in the future but personally I'd rather have multiple smaller fixtures over one giant one, you get more even coverage and you can adjust them to different heights if you have taller/shorter plants. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need all other environmental parameters perfectly in check to make use of the extra light and co2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
