so a good buddy of mine ordered me this tent and fans to help me out with smell some later on. its a little under 3 feet by 3 feet by 5 and 1/2 feet i think im going to put 2-4 plants in it. i have them in a mini greenhouse window getting reap sunlight amd 4 18w led growbulbs on em now.but once they get to big i will need to move them to tents. so my question is. im looking to order something asap for my one big plant untill i learn more.ive been using directional grow bulbs but i want to change to the tube lights with box fixtures. so whats my best bet to order for now? preferably 150$ or under and preferably LED. i do not want to burn me, my child, and my house down. so i am aware ill have to spend more fore that luxery. whats my best bet??? and itll be for 2 soon to be flowering plants

I'm using 3 different led lights and it sounds like we have the same tent size. I run a bit overkill with mine but I'm also running 9 3 gal square pots so I need a bit extra light to make sure my lady's are happy. Running just 2 lady's in your tent can probably be done reasonablely well with 1 600w panel. My recommendation is the bloomspect 600 .I run one of those and a viparspectra 600 in my tent and a 300w no need panel for veg. I'm more impressed with the bloomspect. The ppfd is head and shoulders above any of the affordable 600w panels. Most will recommend the viparspectra, but I haven't seen anyone else running a bloomspect besides me.
the only real measure you need to look at is ppfd or micro mols per meter squared. Wattage is completely useless as an advertised "1600w" panel could only be pushing 200w and a ppfd reading of 350 u/mols per meter.
