mani Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) I have made up my mind I`m going for the 80x80x160 tent and VIPARSPECTRA XS1500 Pro LED Grow Light thanks everyone for your help. Edited October 16, 2023 by mani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchitananda Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That light isn't powerful enough for that tent. This light would be good, it's suitable for 90x90 but would be good in an 80x80 too https://migrolight.com/collections/led-grow-lights/products/migro-aray-3-270w 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 "We learn more from our failures, than from our successes"...someone educated and successful said that, can't remember who. First grow's always the hardest, unknown territory, but each subsequent one will improve. Every site is unique, and needs a little knowledge and tinkering with to max it out. Listen to @handysmoker, he'll help you along. And @Satchitananda knows his stuff, as do most of the other regular posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XS1500 PRO has a lens focused coverage for a 60x60. The two lights @Shumroom and @Satchitananda recommend are the two I would have recommend, Both great options. I'd probably get the Migro myself if I had a bigger tent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a reasonably cheap 400W HPS light with a magnetic ballast and contactor to use for the first year or whatever, while you save for an LED The most important equipment to have to begin with is the tent and the extraction system including carbon filter Atb 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handysmoker Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) @mani A Lot of advice here, hey ..... @Satchitananda is right a 60x60 would be much better for the XP1500 and you because you'll end up with a better crop since the light will get into the corners of the tent . I got 2 plants in my 60x60 and I reckon I might get 3 in next time. Now that I got the P1000 and P600 working together ... (kinda close to the XP1500) .... my light coverage is now full side to side and maintaining the correct lighting needs for the plants has been easy .... and they look beautiful now. Right tool for the right job. Might have to look into getting one for my tent now.... Edited October 17, 2023 by handysmoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good browse. Lots of sales out there for reflectors and bulbs. Although used there’s always tons of used ballasts on fleabay. God knows if my led goes I’m going cheap and cheerful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m going to buy MIGRO ARAY 3 | 250W light and a 90x90x160 tent thanks everyone 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mani Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 I have one more question what type of fan should I buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Do you mean an extraction fan or circulation fan? Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 You could totally get away with a 4in ec fan for extracting a 90cm² space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
