Keep it simple, just lower the lights to 35cm. 480W is not too much for the room

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.

Grow Light distance Does it matter what heights I have my grow light at as long as my pfd is where I want it? For example could I have it closer and less power or do I want it further with more power. Feel like it would be better for the light the less power being used.

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.
