Will these lights work to grow micro greens in a 2ftx4ft tent?

I think so, I'm growing a tomato plant with mine and it seems to be doing fine.

In an enclosed space yes, depends on what you're growing also. Different plants would like different lighting I found this a great lighting system for vegtative growth it was less then par for flower development by all means you cannot go wrong on the price and quality hydrofarm is on par with many 200w systems of other names

It can certainly be done. An issue to be faced is the differing distances these two light types require from the plants. HPS generates a great deal of heat and, in most cases, will need to be several feet from the top of the canopy whereas these LEDs will lose effectiveness over that kind of distance.

It will work for growing plants if you give them the right spectrum of light. You can get bulbs of any temp for this fixture. This would be good for a 1ft by 2 ft area for vegetative growth only. If you are growing fruits and veggies you need a bigger fixture.

Probably not. Plants need good light and this is not the one. Don't know of any that are better, these small tanks are probably better with artificial plants.

Depends on the size of the plants. This light is about 14" square, and throws a slightly spread spot almost straight down. If they're small, 3-4 plants would fit

I use this light to illuminate a 4'x4' tray. The plants on the very edges all lean inwards towards the center. I went to a different reflector, 24"x24" and this eliminated the plant lean. I think the reflector would be good for a 3'x3' grow at max. The ballast and bulbs are good though.

I think so, the "legs" have about an inch and a half approximately on each end that you can adjust. So technically it will work, but note that'll be a stretch. If you're careful with it then I see no problems. Plants might be fine too if you use low light types.

I can not say directly on account of lumen's. I will say these work great for vegatative growth. They put out plenty of lumen's for that. I wouldnt go any further then veg. I measure lumen output after 18 inches and greater thats when you get a true output number.

Wowww so much miss information, photosynthesis peaks at red and blue for all plants, red is just more stimulating to flower production. This light will work JUST FINE for a 2x3 area and your seedlings will not be leggy, just position the light as close as you can get it while being high enough to light up that area. That will be the hard part, as LEDs are very directional and don't spread light over a large area like cfl or incadescent.

I don't have a tester to say for sure, but I counted 100 total 3 watt led lights on the panel. It's bright enough that you need to keep it at least 2 feet away from your plants, a little further seems Better to me. It will definitely cover a 3x4 area. My room to grow is 5x6 and I put 3 plants under each light, 2 lights side by side and my plants do very well and my electric bill hardly changed. So to really answer your question, I don't know, but 2 of these lights seem to do the same as a 600 watt hid light at about 10% of the monthly cost

By the sound of it you need a indoor horticulture book. Atleast a 600 watt hps light unless your doing leds .at least two fans one for the lighy another for the tent.

yes it will, will cover 6x4 area very well, keep plants short to take advantage of keeping light close to canopy, taller the plants, the less light that reaches bottom branches, i prefer 2 dimmable 600s over one thousand watt, two lights almost doubles cover area unlike 1000s, budget wise, this one should be more than enough to get a decent amount of bud,of course, unless you grow indoor before, dont expect to grow like a pro the first few crops, its like riding a bike, got to learn to pedal before you can wheelie, live and learn, your crops will only get better with experience... good luck... p.s. buy a grow book or 2 and check out youtube, sometimes you can find a lot of use full info there....the more you know.. the better you grow...

A 300 watt LED is quite powerful. It's more than enough for a 2x4 tent IMO. Go for it!

We have used these bulbs (hydrofarm flc32d) as grow lights with good success and they should fit into your shades.

I am using one of these in a 4 x 4 x 7 tent. I bought the one with only the HPS light. Make sure you control the temp in the tent, as this light alone heats up to about 87*. I'm no expert, but I think this one light at 600 watts would cover a 6 x 6 tent, as long as the plants aren't smashed together and they can all get light. :)

It will depend on how high.. I have them at 9' the width of the spread is appox. 3' of strong beam of light.. remember these are small spots..
