First set up. Wanna keep it simple.

I'm looking at:

-180 Watt UFO LED grow light

-90 Watt UFO LED grow light

For a space that around 2'x 2'- 3'x 3', which would be better to have in this fridge grow ? would a 180w be better regardless ? two 90w's instead ?

Do you think if done correctly, with 3 plants (max) low trained and kept small ( for the penetration issue)the 180w could produce some decent results ? Including flowering. 180 watts just beaming down onto 3 plants in the 2'x 2'x 3' (fridge growbox) space ? would it be pleasing if done correctly ?

Is 180 watt Led overdoing it for a space ? more the better right ?

Any recommendations referring to LED's in this big of a space would be awesome !

Thanks,
CC

Hello

yeah you'll need 50 watts per square foot of floor space you have, your seam real keen to use LED lights! if i were you i'd use either a 150 watt HPS grow light "150 don't require a light ballast, or a compact fluorescent or fluorescent lighting partially T5 fluorescents, much much cheaper, and better light penetration, you'll want 6500 kelvin for growing and 3500 for flowering, here's some info on grow light spectrum http://www.hydroponic-growing-systems.com/t5-grow-lights.html and good luck with growing them babies.
