Need opinions on my setup, I'm running a ViparSpectra P2000 true 200 watt and XS1000 true 120 watt, I have 2 Glueberry Og Auto's going, week 3 of flowering, I don't have issues w heat or humidity at the moment, is this overkill with the lights or should it be good?

You could probably just keep the 2000 there, but if you don’t mind paying for the extra electricity than go for it and keep both in there. It will help probably keep a more even distribution of light. What id recommend is downloading this app called Photone- once downloaded, it’s for a very accurate light sensor. You want to be somewhere around 800-1000 PPFD. You just move your phone around the canopy and it shows you how much light each spot is getting.

@GrowCN, it’s an awesome app and it’s been proven to be pretty damn close to what you would get from an apogee light measuring instrument. Check out MIGRO on YT and he has a few videos doing comparisons of his expensive apogee instruments vs apps and Photone is within 10% across 0-1000 PPFD

I run multiple lights at reduced power in my tent. Light coming from a larger area doesn't create as many shadows and I feel I get better light penetration to the lower leaves. I would use the app (or another) and adjust the output of your lights for even coverage. Ezzjaygrows, thank you for finding the Photon app. I will compare it against my other light measuring app and see how it does. I like that it can give PPFD without having to do extra math outside the app. I like to set my light hight and intensity based off a measurement instead of a just hanging at a certain distance.
