Hi mate, 6 plants seems a lot for a 2x2. I grow one in that space and at a push maybe 2 autos but 6 would be impossible. Is 300W the true output of the light, you're looking for about 30W/square foot but 100W is minimum for a 2x2. Mine is 110W. Any higher and I would struggle with high temps. I hope this helps....good luck and happy growing.

Depending on the footprint of your light, if the 300w covers the full tent then you will be fine

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Light power Is a 100-watt lamp sufficient? I don't consume much, so I opted for a modest light, anticipating lower yields. Can the quality match that of weed grown under a stronger light(600watt), despite producing fewer grams overall?
