What size grow light do I need? Well it depends on how much you want to yield.
I start with an estimate of the range of potential yield by wattage, by area and by number of plants. When you have converted your target yield into a grow tent size you can then calculate the grow light wattage you need. Once the target wattage and tent size is determined you can decide on the best LED grow light to suit your space and wattage requirements.
In the estimates I provide there is a range of performance which is determined by a number of factors:
Skill of grower
Plant genetics
Growing conditions i.e. temperature and humidity control
Growing medium i.e. soil/coco/hydro
all of these variables will feed into a range of yield performance from your grow setup.
PS I would not be discouraged by the claims of 3 to 4 grams per watt online. 1 grams per watt is a good performance and 2 grams per watt is amazing. I get around 1.5 grams per watt in soil and I am very happy with that.
Take care,
Shane

Convinced me!!.. Ordered your MIGRO ARAY 8 light today!! Excited to see the productivity of my grows to increase.
How much LED watts per square foot for seedlings? To mimick the not much sun from early spring. For a veg garden.
And same question for late spring when the sun is a bit stronger?
So 30 watts per square feet is summer?
I think I'm burning my seedlings. My lights don't have dimmers.
And are the wattages per square foot are the same on while grow lights and non white grow lights.
Already subscribed Shane,
150W per square foot for HPS. 250W per square foot for LEDs.
Autos never yield well and use way too much electricity and are pointless to grow indoors. They are always less potent as well and not as fast as the 'CLAIMS' suggest.
If you are not getting 0.85 - 1.25 grams per watt then you are not doing it properly. That should be easily possible with 2-3 weeks veg.
I have personally seen Autos go to 130 days which is longer than regular indica strains. There is no advantage at all to growing Autos indoors at all.
sorry easy lumatek 600 pro 3g pre w EASY if people r telling u some thing and u do what u do my be is ignorant to say that they dont know what they r talking about . because my be then they can say u dont know what r u talking about. hmmm
no hard filling only love from a dray jar.
You are not only the light guy you are the grow guy. I learned more from your 16 minute video than I have from watching hours and hours of the other guys. I learn from them too but you provide the information the way an old hippie needs to hear it; short and sweet. Thank you!!!
what I do is this.
13 hr veg cycle
13 hr flower cycle.
12 hours on 5.5 hours off then 1 hour on then 5.5 hours off for veg
13 hours for flower will increase yeilds without going back into veg cycle. it's the cut of point ie the maximum light it can grow flower in.
@geo_ neo9
When?
@@freedom_born When what? I don't understand your question.
@Johndoe for sure but there are ways to increase smell etc. I would if electric wasn't so expensive. It's all enough for me amd works.
This guy has to be an engineer or highly trained scientist. He’s speaking my language.
Play in 2x speed. Youre welcome
it's bla bla bla without a concept anyways
He talks so slow 2x actually sounds normal
Perhaps he is speaking slowly to be considerate of non-native English speakers in the audience, who might greatly appreciate the clarity it provides.
@@0MrFox0I am non english and I hate slow english speakers and slow speakers in general 😅
Thank you 👍
You'll have so much bud after first harvest it will make your head spin. I can see how folks get themselves caught up in this game. The numbers are crazy😂 and i love it
It's about using all the canopy space. You can do that say in a 4' 4' with one big plant or 5 small plants or 9 smaller plants.
More plants less vegging time. As long as the canopy is filling the area nicely it doesn't matter.
5 mid size plants in 3"x3" was optimal for me
In my experience, a minimum of 5 weeks in veg is ideal. The plants seem to show a truer phenotypical expression when I allow them to naturally reach sexual maturity before I flip to flower.
Most of the autos I've grown take that long to start really flowering also.
I can definitely confirm his range for the 4x4 tent dried content weight. It is spot on. I get this range every cycle (2-3 photo plants, no CO2, 4-5 months from seed- they wind up close to the roof) obviously varying by genetics, and I really have no clue what I’m doing and have only been at it a couple years now.
Great video Migro. It really is nice to see someone put it all out there and break it down for people like myself that just want to know what we need to know. This definitely saves me from oversizing a light for my 4×4. Thank you
I guarantee the people who say 3-4grams per watt are not accounting for the power used for AC / heating / dehumidification . When running CO2 in a closed system you will be able to pull more per sqm but the cost of power will even out your gpw. Then they figure they are getting 3gpw with their lights when in reality it’s only 1.5.
If without accounting ac, dehu and fans even with co2 getting over 3g/w you can only achieve with the biggest yielding strains and the quality usually sucks with those strains
This video is exactly what we needed considering current crazy electric prices, thank you!
Are you in Australia if not you get it cheap.
@@billyballsup2685 you should watch the news more
what I do is this.
13 hr veg cycle

12 hours on 5.5 hours off then 1 hour on then 5.5 hours off for veg
13 hours for flower will increase yeilds without going back into veg cycle. it's the cut of point ie the maximum light it can grow flower in.
@@graemebuchan1919 maybe you need to check Australia's prices. Why would I need to watch the news. That's the last place you get the truth. We pay between 26 to 38 cents a kilowatt. Not 12 cents.
@@billyballsup2685 your inflation is half of the UK rate, and nobody is gonna freeze to death, wonder how i knew you avoid information, fukin drongo
I've noticed after 6 years genetics makes the difference with yield. But what a great informative watch thanks shane💯😎
Thank you so much for all your work. This video is just what I was looking for to dial in my setup. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you for doing the homework that most of us are unable, incapable, or lack resources to accomplish.
Thank you for the advice keep doing what you’re doing you’re making a difference we’re listening.Hope you have a great day. Thomas.
Thanks for the knowledge info and unbiased reviews! Just starting out and lights have been a huge headache! You made it easy! Here I come migro array 8!
I CAN'T STOP THANKING YOU FOR YOUR HOME MADE GROW LIGHTS UP GRAD MY GROW SPACE 2 BY 4 GROW SPACE BLESSINGS AGAIN AND COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITH OUT YOUR HELP ❤❤❤
Totally enjoyed the casual conversational details. I may need to re-watch just to take in all the information covered.
A person I know said she prefers more smaller plants because of the variety. It's great to grow ginormous plants if you have room but I also believe you build a tolerance to one strain so if you've got different varieties you can switch strains and don't have to smoke as much!
Hi Frank,
Yes we agree.
Hey mate I've found the best strains don't throw out us much but that why you have twice the amount of them, I prefer quality over quantity, I've kept the same strains for 3 years because every other is just abit dull.
@Johndoe yeah man Shane is the main guy I watch for lighting and a couple other but he is by far the best even got some migro gear and yeah man I'm also just agreeing with the main comments as I've noticed usually the plant that yield heaps are good but I think the smaller yielding plants taste better just my own experience and I can fit more in but I've had a few big growing plants but didn't fill the canopy aswell.
@Johndoe awesome dude I will have to look into autos I don't really know much about them .
@Johndoe yeah man I'm in Australia it's easy to find strains just haven't found any that keep up with the og kush and the girls scout cookies crack I do have grandfather og going and axe murderer they look great but I don't really have high hopes nice size though but yeah man I alway keep the strains I like best got a few more to try but yeah man, can't beat flavour, been looking at supersoil looks pretty interesting.
Enjoy learning with MIGro! This is exactly what I've been looking for.. The plant Qty. Is exactly spot on from my experience.
I just finished my first indoor grow in a 5x5 under an SE 7000 730w…four plants …two week slow dry…weighed in at 735g…..thanks for the info….really like your work
I've lost count of the grow light videos and finally I come across yourself and long story short I just ordered the array 4×4 all of your work is interesting and above all accurate big thanks Shane
Thanks, much appreciated, take care, Shane
I have been watching your videos for years. your lights are top quality and your tests are great to watch. keep up the great work.
Glad you like them!
No surprises here. Everything you said seems Spot On, from my experience.
The plant numbers, Watts per tent size, umols at the canopy, and expected harvest weight, were the best recommendations I've heard. And all in one short video.
Perfect, Shane. Much Thanks!
A lot of variables 🤯😵💫 very good information Shane, will make people think 🤔 more before just banging them all in on 100%
Great stuff! I totally agree, the numbers are reasonable, follow these advices and you may have success 🙏🙏
On my 3rd run in a 4x4 with 780W total available...got 19 oz with 6 plants, 16 oz with 3 plants of photoperiods so far. I get great coverage with 2 monsterboard LEDs plus a Migro UV-B fixture....I'm also on Solar power!
Booyah!
What's your battery setup like? And how much of a difference do you notice with the UV light?
@@ungoyone no battery, just juice with the solar...2nd run with UV-B light was frostier n tastier than without
What watt is your solar panel to constantly run a 780W ? If you have not got a battery storage unit doesn’t it go off if there’s no sun ? I’ve been looking at a little hybrid system both small solar panels and a small wind turbine
I'm definitely going to check out your lights. I don't have a problem with my current yeilds, heck I have enough product to roll around in but it's time for a new light and my priority is a safe efficient light
Really do appreciate all the videos help me as a new grower to purchase volt grow lights Be Well Fam Stay Safe and POSITIVE Vibes. Keep the information coming very helpful I'm always referring your page to people buying lights be well
This is the most informative video I've seen by far! Thank you
I think your bang on there Shane good info. I only run my HPS or MH in the coldest days of the winter. LED knocks a full third off my power draw and the terp profile has become incredible.
IMO led produce better terps
HPS more dense bud
Thanks a lot for all informations, very useful. You answer so many points to get the correct set up.
Thanks again for all your great works, Cheers
Still so happy with m'y Migro 100 on my closet !perfectly sized for my plants.
Thank you for putting this into terms that I can actually understand. 👍
Diamond INFO as usually! You are the only fews who really care about their community!
Thanks.
I just pulled 14.8 ozs of soil grown autoflower buds from my 3x3 using a Viparspectra KS3000. 1.39 gms per watt.
I'm happy with that.
this sounds like i’m bragging but i dont mean to be just sharing my experience.
i get on average 2lbs dried & cured in a 4x4 from ~480 watts using high efficient LEDs and grown in a peat moss mixture keeping a target of ~950par on the canopy without using CO2 growing photoperiods averaging an 18-22 week cycle depending on strain.
I’m just under you in coco.
Damn😊
Would love to see you test a lamp from invisible sun LED. I've been using their X Bar array and for a 240w draw It is insane. Review more UK products for us UK growers. Keep up the great work.👍🏼
That was very informative. I wasn’t quite sure on lighting for me 2x4x 60 I went with 2 100 watt lights.
I been tying since last year! You name it I seen videos step by step!
This year pack seeds an 3 step process, oh an one shot of mulch juice,,run it thru cheese cloth ,let it get room temp an then pour it on,oh an a cage with plastic around it??? Left them cause I thought nothing would happen,then weeks later,wow,ii pruned them an they are beautiful, I went old school outside!!!!
What works for one may not work for another!!!!!!
Absolutely quality piece of kit, thanks muchly next on my list is your uvb cheers
With good variation and plants about 1.4m + 16L pot in coco i manage to pull 2.1g/W as my record after 8 days of drying. Normally i manage to make about 1.6-1.7 with my LED mars hydro in 1m x 2m high tent. In my best grow i was using CO2 suplementation.
Spot on. Coco/Perlite, no CO2 always reached almost top yield. 16 weeks photoperiod. Great confidence boost, thank you for the videos.
OP
What do you mean by no CO2
No added Carbon dioxide. Continuous airflow in and out is good enough for personal needs. IMO.
@@jimbob2101
Sweet. Thank you.
@@mspahn1967 check out Dr MJ Coco it's also a very helpful channel for growing with coco. Pretty much all the info you need is on one or the other channel. Best of luck. 👍
Facts
A trick to veg out one photoperiod and harvest during the veg is to stick one photoperiod with a bunch of staggered autoflowers. While the photoperiod veg's out to fill the 4x4 you harvest the autoflowers as they ready to clear up more room for the photoperiod. You might have to take plants out to free up space so need another area to finish an auto or two off every now and then. By the time you harvest the last auto you should have a photoperiod that's taking up the entire space once trained out.
@Johndoe I didn't do this just so you know, but the person who did grew fem seeds so no pollinating I believe. Didn't come across any seeds in the bud.
@Johndoe did you grow out the seeds you got? Roughly how many grew to be auto and how many grew to be photo? If you got any autos, how did they taste? Typical ruderalis BS or like a photoperiod?
Cool stuff though
That's fucking genius thank you bro
I'm debating whether I want to do perpetual harvest with autos or what. Leaning towards photo because of the ability to clone and veg easier
Thank you very much for this video. Next to many of your usefull video's this one helped me the best getting a good overview of what hardware to use in my setup!
Glad to hear the videos have been helpful
Great content Shane love your work
I've had pretty good luck with a 4 by 8, would 3 600 watt HIDs. In OG grow light hoods 8 inch concealed vacuum technology. And in my 5X5 tents. I use either a SK 601 630 watt LED add a small light mover. Are an OG as I have in my 5X8 with four or 600 watts depending on the time of year and the heat. Winter clearly gets a 600. And in summer I drop it to 400watts. However on those 2 5x5 particular tents I also run for t5 light bulbs around the perimeter to help the edges of the tent
Another great video with excellent information! Thank you for always putting out the most relevant and interesting videos
My pleasure!
Thanks Shane for all the great information you have put out too help all of us I appreciate it my friend and just wanted to let you know ‼️💯👍👍💯✅😎🎥🙏🙏
Glad to help
finding your videos very helpful .thanks much appreciated im not really a beginer but i sometimes stray from what i know works if that makes sense lol
Thanks for sharing Shane 👊
Great information! You answered many questions I had as a new grower.
what I do is this.

13 hours for flower will increase yeilds without going back into veg cycle. it's the cut of point ie the maximum light it can grow flower in.
@@geo_neo9 That is strange and interesting but I understand why it probably works. Cool.
@@Ms13Funpolice Yes it does work brilliant. See I grow organic which is bound to be different in this way because organic is healing for the ladies. Terps also increase due to organic. .
Same speed of growth and same harvest give or take depending on genetics.
I'm a spiritual leader and I am aware we can programme the water with our energy because water has consciousness. Which helps make the buzz n terps be that little bit better than it was before I started this technique. It's just most think that's crazy even though there are books on how water has consciousness. She remembers everything.
@@geo_neo9 that's great your discussing water...
I agree totally and have started my own water treatment methods for our drinking water.
This is my first time growing so totally green... But l am keen on EVERYTHING being around natures code and as far removed from toxins as possible. Nutritionally rich living soil, clean water, natural sunlight where possible, and a natural environment around birds, bees and... so my theory is playing recordings of nature's sounds can only be beneficial too, and not detrimental? 🤔
I am sure many have tried the living soils and l imagine once in an enclosed tent the pests can hatch and be trapped in, and problems persist from there?
I have 4 auto's growing in home made nutritional compost and thus far been outside 24/7 for close to a couple of months. Thus far they are thriving and any bugs that may have landed have a tiny nibble and depart as in true gardening. With enough nutrients the plant makes eating it difficult for bugs. Their job is to clear decay, so any decay should be removed asap so they don't hang around...
My aim is to move them into a 4 x 4 tent to finish off. Am l destined for problems?
My concerns are from an organic mindset nearly everything is genetically modified, from strains to feeding artificial nutrition... so is it possible to be more organic in an artificial environment?
Best informative video yet. I actually learned something. Thnx so Much
Thank you for educating us I have learned so much form you and I trust your teaching 100 percent it’s actually the truth thank you again you have saved me time and money also though me allot

Your numbers are the right range. I’ve been getting average of 1.35-1.6 oz per sqft in my 5 x 2.5 tent growing 3 plants in 5 gallon pots. Running 400watts of led. About 1.3-1.5gpw. I don’t use co2 but that’s a pretty packed tent
you run that at 100%
Love autoflowers. Just made a batch of la rica cbd from elite seeds in only 62 days from seed to cut. Delicious, Beautyful and magic. Less yield than feminised but almost two months less of electricity and work too
Good stuff
As someone who is just looking in to it this helps so much. It is achievable but im on the fence about a tent or make a room . I have the area but is it better in a tent that's what nobody can tell me
i missed this episode ... great info 😎
thanks
Wow I’m doing something seriously wrong then but I don’t know what. I always thought I’ve got things optimal especially with my equipment.
I’ve got a 2.4 x 2.4 x 2.2 high (meters) grow tent with 4x600w spider style Samsung/osram leds to fill the space perfectly. I run an iws 15 pot flood and drain system in 60/40 coco mix. I get 0.8gpw dry and cured and trimmed perfectly
Seu conteúdo é inenarrável!!! Forte abraço da Bahia 🇧🇷
getting a new set up . first time. an was needing to know this very information. I hope i catch on fast so not to waste a lot of time.
lol another bot account.
I have a pb4000 and a pb2000 in a 4x5. Its pretty much perfect at 500 watts if I run at 100%. Which I really don't need to. Those are the PB4000 pro and the PB2000 pro(Maxsisun). I get really even coverage with those. I have a PB1000 pro in a 2.2. I just leave that one mounted to the top and just use the dimmer for whats inside of it. I also built a drying rack out of wire rack shelves. I black plasticized the inside and just move it where the coldest place in the house is. Ofc, it has a humidifier in it. One of those digital ones.
You know your stuff and how to communicate that knowledge to your audience.
I agree these numbers are more or less valid.
Some people prefer to go sea of green with alot more plants (clones) and get done in 12-14 weeks max with each run.
For the simple reason of squeezing in one more grow per year.
The average yield is pretty much the same.
Let's say:
Guy #1 uses a Scrog (screen of green) setup (harvests twice a year so 2x750g in ~32 weeks)
Guy #2 uses a SOG (sea of green) setup (harvests three times a year so 3x500g in ~32 weeks)
As for watering, that can become very tricky in a SCROG especially if you don't wanna involve any pumps at all.
Also, yes it can become pretty annoying as well if ure growing with the SOG method, when temps are on the hotter side and the plants want a watering every 2 days.
But to each his own. peace!
Thanks for all your hard work and sharing with the world
Get yourself a battery box, one of those cheapy deep cycle lithium batteries from eBay/amazon, pure sine wave inverter up to 600w and a 250w solar panel with mppt controller, for powering anything up to a 3x3 you will be sorted, no grid power needed
great info as usual . thanks again for what you do.
Awesome video now I know what to shoot for in my 4x8 thank you sir
you help me so much and i have never stop to say thank you
Thanks
Pretty much what I surmised after buying a few lights. I have a 150 watt light for two plants in a 2x3, a 300 for 1 square meter 42 inch by 36 inch and also 489 watts for another square meter. All are producing dense bud. Then I joined the two tents with both lights and I get some over lap in the middle for less reflective walls..
Thanks for sharing.
Good information . I spent years to get the results I desired .
Thank you! Excellent information!
I’m currently in a 2x4, using 2x3 of the space for a 7-gallon cloth pot. Second grow in this setup. First time I had 2 plants in 2 gallon plastic pots, and I harvested roughly 98-103 grams of dry weight. I’ve trained the next lady similarly, just in a much larger pot. Her 8-10 main colas have been tied out to the sides and the center of the plant is going crazy now! She’s in week 5 of flower and she’s still stacking. I’ve had to turn the light down from the 1300 PPFD to around Shane’s 800 micro moles/PPFD . She’s no longer showing symptoms of light stress. It’s really crucial to have your growth chamber dialed in. My VPD was off, so I was getting some signs of stress. I dimmed back the lights to 68% 75%, roughly, and increased extraction fan speed as well as increased the humidity a tad. Soil ph is 6.33, and I continue to feed her with silica, CalMag, liquid bone meal, calcium and a .5ml/gallon of 0-1-0 carbon. Ph of 6.4-6.8. All of the nutrients are bioavailable, while the plant is immersed in living soil. Hopefully I’ll get closer to 6+ ounces. A half pound would be wonderful but, I just need to keep her doing her thing.
How did it turn out?
@@baylenthedogg3242
Oh man, it was a wonderful learning experience in the sense that, if you’re going to use a 7-gallon pot, make sure that you’re pushing around 250-300 watts LED light source. I’m going to use that understanding, as I look towards my next opportunity! I’m beginning to understand how the living soil can stay living in a wonderful, recirculating system. That’s golden and, it has a lot to do with fungi, among other constituents but fungi!!! Garden giant or King straphoria is a wonderful friend in your garden. Barely scratching the surface but yes, always absorbing information through trial and error or, FU:FO ratio, fuck up, to find out. Thanks for asking though, I really appreciate it!
@@jakebrake7054 thanks for answering. I've grown I'm the woods years ago when I needed money and my friend that helped me robbed me during one of the hardest times of me life. Safe to say he's no longer a friend. But I've never grown indoor.. my wife is disabled, she has been on oxycodone for 3yr from the pain clinic.. and decided 2 weeks ago to quit as she could control them anymore, as they was controlling her. I don't really know what I want to do regarding grow medium.. I've always wanted to do DWC "deep water culture" and wanted to do no till living soil. I may just use coco and perlite and a little fox farms.. add gaia green 4-4-4 all purpose and then 0-2-4 'i think' boom boost. Mr Canucks on TH-cam and Cali green both use this organic method and it seems to do decent.
I know marijuana had brought a glow back into her eyes soul and smile. That I haven't seen in years, I can't afford what they want for it here and God only knows what's in this stiff. I live in prohibition state well technically we just legalized but can only buy outside of state until 2025. So I can't throw them outside and let em grow. So indoors it is, but $ is a issue so I'm debating on a 2x2 by mars hydro but would love a AC Infinity 4x4 kit but there $985 even with $100 promo code.
But the way look into he grow pro 1800 led light. It's pushing over 1000 par I'm every corner, and is $420.. the guy on TH-cam that reviews all lights just posted a video and they are the pound for pound best light.
I just got a LP250 ParfactWorks LED fixture for a 4x4 area. I got it because it had IR and UV lights included, which so many LED fixtures do not. I agree with you on that 9 auto flowering plant is right for that space. Yes, it could be said that I need more than 250w, but the IR and UV lights seem to add a lot. It gives the roots the energy to take up nutrients better. Thanks for a lot of conformation on my own research and guess work.
That/s going to struggle to get high PPFD in a 4x4. You will need to hang it higher to open up it's spread, which will lower the PPFD at the canopy quite considerably. Like shane said in the Video, 30 watts a foot = 480W.
I think it's 512
Those look like accurate figures based on my experience, they definitely reflect reality
Great info as per, cheers Shane
Thanks for this great information on Grow Light Science. This helps to confirm my current 4 x 4 setup. You always delivery great information, now please go get some rest. You looked tired.
Awsome information. Helped me so much.
Thank you!
Glad to hear it!
Great info as always. Thank you Shane. ✌👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Excellent! 🌱tnx. for the video 👏🏼👏🏼
12 in a 4x4 in 3 gal pots works great with a 645 led y use it at 80 %power most of the time
Thanks for the information, im an auto grower and learn always is good (sorry for my bad english haha)
Thanks again, another very useful video.
Thanks for the video. Great info!!!
Great vid thanks. Would 2x 1000w full spectrum led grow lights be enough to cover an area in a garage of 2.3m x 4m. Think thats 13x7ft.. Thank you.
This is my second grow. First time was indoor all cococoir. The yield was decent. Now on my second grow, I did indoor and outdoor. My outdoors grew extra large and wide. Buds everywhere on both plants. 4th week of flower and the smell outside is ridiculously aromatic.. the 4 plants I have indoors now didn’t yield as much as the two outside which are still a few weeks away from harvest.. I used raised beds soil in a hole I dug in the ground and filled the bottom with dry and green material and fresh alfalfa plants. Then dumped the soil in the hole. It became living soil with worms and the whole nine. The yield looks to be over 1.lbs on both plants combined. It’s not about the medium it’s about the skills you have as a gardener/grower.
I was a gardener before I started growing!..
chilled tech are one of the top light designers.vitaly is a genius..ive seen in american grow rooms they like to hang thier lights 4 feet away from the tops...thats why the bar set up is best..the most spread the better of course..im so happy we dont use those old hps..
What lights (light bulbs) would you recommend for house plants, relatively inexpensive?
Yes Shane you couldn't be more right and you can't argue with the science. Also 50/50 soil perlite in autopots is great results. Just as good as coco but without having to worry about pH so much
I've never heard of a 50/50 with soil and perlite and as a current soil grower this interests me. Thanks for the suggestion!
The only thing coco, rockwool, clay, perlite does is displace water totals, hydro with nothing is all the water, coco is going to make up 90 some percent water that would be there in hydro, it’s the nutrients that does it all with an amount of water.
I hand water with buffered nutrients so I don’t have to PH and I don’t have to flush, I just don’t feed after the last week and don’t waste time flushing.
@@doveseye.4666 The unfortunate thing about the buffered nutrients, such as advance nutrients, is they don't work in autopots. I've a new brand I'm using called Mills, the pH holds better than advance in my dwc and has zero gunk in the autopot.
@@bananas7479 I use Mantis Buffered Nutrients, a one bottle entire grow, seed to harvest and only when you water, it’s just fantastic, I use it on people who don’t know what’s wrong with there grow and Mantis just fixes any cannabis plant, I get great results, I don’t know about the Autopots, but Mantis is spectacular in hydro , I guess move it or keep it moving so the buffer doesn’t settle, I’m disabled and I can’t be messing with hoses and measures and cables, no way, I appreciate the one bottle entire grow thing, smoking or eating Mantis is only for cannabis. Funny thing, I’m using the Autopots, but since I can’t set it up, I use the 5 gallon bucket’s because they are tall enough to grab from a wheelchair, but the plants soon outgrow me, this time I’m growing sugar black rose with slabs from the ground, not on a table I can’t reach.
@@doveseye.4666 Well done man hats of to you. I've often wondered how I could continue to grow if I had a disability. I like to have an idea for unexpectedness of life. I will look up this mantis stuff. Have you looked into biotabs or grow dots. Water only. Ah sure with a one bottle thing what's the difference
Great info as usual. Thanks for doing the math!

Thanks.
Thank you for this info and expertise.
Hi what led lights would you use in a 2.0m by 2.0m tent and how many would you put in? Thanks in advance.
Great stuff mate
Your videos r very good mate, I have been using led's for a couple years now can't exceed 25 oz' per 600w zeus pro, I have 4 in a 3m x 3m room, don't have any issues with temps, been thinking bout using Co2 but think the extra electric to run air con and dehumidifier and cus of co2 might bot b worth it ??
Thanks for the information!
You are a wealth of information
Thanks
Thank you Migro
when talking about LED wattage, are you taking about "HID replacement watts" or watts pulled from the wall? Often LEDs list both. For example, I have an LED grow light listed as a replacement for 1200w HID replacement but it pulls 256w from the wall. Is this extreme overkill in an 80cmx80cm tent, or just about right?
I got a 4x4 with 2 aero light 100 and 150 so i agree with you 😂😂🎉❤🎉
Great video. informative with clear explanations..
