Schould i buy another more expensive lamp with more watts or can i just buy a second xs 1500 ?

started grow question 5y ago
Does it make sense to buy another Viperspectra xs1500 with 150watts? So my question is, if the power of 2 same led lamps add up together?

Yes both together would equal 300 watts. Add another it's 450 watts..

As hempkid said. Also the beauty of having to lamps is if temps get to high you can turn one lamp off to cool down then when that comes back on you could turn the other lamp off.

Boa tarde Farmers. Tenho um led Lumatek attis 300w e estou a usá-lo com a luz a 100% ( está incluído um dimmer que dá para regular de 20 em 20%). Queria saber se há algum problema usar a 100% desde a fase inicial ou se existem valores específicos para cada fase. Muito obrigado!

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Small light/ big tent
I just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!
