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

Will this one be too hot too?
Do you guys think this light will be too hot for my tent? Will it be ok, or bad? Maybe 1500w is too much? Or will the plants grow faster? shorturl.at/grtFL I had to make a short link to fit in question

I’m here again with another silly question Or not I’m not sure🤣 I have a 600w ballast with a 600&400 switch on it and I’m wanting to downgrade to a 250w lamp. Will my ballast power it okay or will it kill it🤔 or should I get a 400? Thanks!

Whats going on with my Grow lights ?
Hey there , I was looking at that picture and noticed a difference brightness of those lights and the red color differ At least at the camera lens ! They supposed to be the same wattage 🤔 So I was wondering , is that the reason why BananaOG is a bit smaller and underdeveloped 🤓

Seeds in 12/12
Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they start

Add to lights, or get a different light?
Learning more about LED lights, I'm kinda stuck . I can either buy two more of the current light I use (bloomspect SL1000) OR does anyone recommend another light in the same price range? Or info on what to look for .. not limited on space just funds. Unless I found a used one
