2 plants, 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000ās, need help with pot size/tent size configuration
My plan is to flower these 2 girls in a SCROG under 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000s (2x300W actual). Iām debating whether to flower them in 5 gallon plastic pots in a 2x4, 10 gallon pots in a 2x4, or 10 gallon pots in a 4x4. Does more area = more yield, or am I thinking about this wrong?

Affordable but good growlight for small space
I'm looking for a cheap light to grow one plant, the current one (90w) have just doesn't have enough juice so I'd like to upgrade. I know mars has some good and affordable lights. Any other brands or not so famous brands in Europe that are cheap but good? Tips are welcome!

Can someone please show me a proper setup guide for hanging grow lights?
I recently purchased a Vivosun Smart grow system, but this is my first tent and the booklet just says "tie light up top" with a ratchet hook system. I wont be able to adjust height without tons of extra work, can someone assist me?

Bulb or ballast?

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?
I have a 80x80x160 tent. Iām 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 Iām only growing one plant.

Swapping lights during flowering
Do you guys think that swapping lights at the late flowering stage is going to harm my girls in any way? Been fortunate enough to be able to order myself a Viparspectra xs4000 to replace the v600. And as I understand it should be quite an upgrade. Thanks for any advice!

Where exactly should the uv light be placed? Is it possible to place it between two spotlights? Or is it better at the ends of the lamps? What uv light do I need for a space of 1m2? I'm very lost, help please! Thank you!
