I will guess that you have either 5w leds or 3w leds. I have never heard of any other power types. If that is the case, your array is either 675W using 3w leds, or 1125W using 5w leds. Now you will have to find that detail, from them, or on the light itself.

That's not good of them... so many types of led diodes... e.g. my bloom box has a total of 1248 diodes, lol... but, only ~480-500watts. a multimeter for $10-20 usd could do it (guessing on price). they only show the max wattage per diode on the specificiations that i see, so that's not useful either. ~100w? 150W? maybe, a bit more too... can't tell size.

Mars Hydro TS1000 and Spider Farmer SF1000D in 26x26 tent together?I’ve purchased an Mars Hydro FC-E 3000 for my 3x3 tent, so I now have a TS 1000 I’ve removed from the 3x3, that I want to move to my 26x26 and run it along side my Spider Farmer SF1000D. Is that overkill/pointless waste of energy for that size environment?

Grams/watt I notice that the grams/watt calculation might be misleading. For example my 2500w light puts out actual 530watts. Should this not be the way its actually calculated or am I the only one who thinks so?

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.

Light hanging distance I’m not sure how high to hang my light. My plants seem to be all staying extremely squat and not stretching, though all seem healthy. I’ve been fiddling between 18-28 inches and 600-800 ppfd (ios meter app) and I can’t find a distance that seems to make them happier. D26 autos

Nutrient burn, Light burn, or Phos Def? red stems purple bruises,Noticed red lines leaking red into the leaves with purple bruising, and the starter bottom leaves seem to be turning yellow, with the leaves above looking dark green with spots. Is this signs of light burn or nutrient toxicity? And is it lacking phosphorus or just the strain gen?
