Lights died
Steevoh978
started grow question 5y ago
So my lights died last night. Would a 2000 watt be good for a 4×4 tent?

hey Steevo, it's probably overkill to be honest, you're alright with 600W , anything much more than that is a bonus, but i would get a dimmer for it just in case. hope this helps ! 🚀

If its HID light, may be a bit overkill. If its LED it depends on what it draws from wall wattage.

Hi first time grower here. Been vegging 4 plants in 80cmx80x160 tent with 150W LED (Mars Hydro TS1000). Start of 2nd week flower today and I added another 150W LED. Could that potentially increase my yield? Thanks!

LED Wattage confusion!?!?!?!?!
In a few days, I will be putting these into a 4ftx4ft grow tent. Im a little concerned as my Lights say 1000w but on further research, it says actual wattage 140. does this mean I only have 280w and is that going to be enough?

I have ordered the VipaSpectra Pro 1000W. My tent is I think 3x3 maybe a bit more? I have the 3 girls (4 next grow) Thoughts on using P1000 with the existing ViparSpectra 600W together, for flowering?

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?

LED lights for veg-Viparspectra xs1000
I have the viparspectra xs1000 light. I turned up to 50% intensity and plant is about 30cm from canopy. Is that right for early vegetation stage?It looks healthy to me but could be wrong. Was going to turn up to 75% later, then 100% for flower. Do I need to move closer the light?

Looking for unsponsored responses... need light...my car cost 1000$ and I can't justify anything close to that. Flowering a 4x4 area..should I wait for tech to develop and HPS in the meantime? Convince me otherwise with your experiences! #budget

Grow Lights
Is it okay to use an LED Light 1000 watt (4x4x80" tent) & a UV Light 1000 Watt in a 4x4x80" grow tent for 3 plants. I want more light, I have plants growing slowly so I'm hoping to adjust the amount of light I have would speed up their growth. LED is white spectrum & UV blue-veg
