Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?
I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w): I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?

Slow indoor seedling growth
4 days since sprout, issues with light timer, seedlings ended up getting 48 hrs of light after they sprouted, and this AM I found that the timer did not turn the light back on so it got 11 hours of dark last night instead of 6. Could this be detrimental to seedling?

Lamp distance
Hello. I have a question about my lamp distance. I’ve changed the lamp to MARS HYDRO 2023 TS600 LED a week ago and a distance to the plant was 18 inches. During this week a plant grew and the distance became 12 inches. I lifted the lamp to 13 inches. What distance I have to keep?

Extra belichting
Hallo . Ik zit in de derde week bloei van mijn royal gorilla planten ze staan onder een hps lamp van 600 watt als ik nu nog een extra lamp van 400 watt zou plaatsen zou dat de opbrengst vergroten of een verspilling van energie . Groeten Gorilla

Should I dim my TS1000? Ts1000
When using two lights in a small space should I be worried about to much light? The plant is mature and is about to transition to flower, I’m just curious what is too much if any. The TS 1000 is dimmable the sf1000d is not. Lights are 18” at the moment
