Is this light enough to cover my tent?

Stoenoestarted grow question 3y ago

Hi, I was wondering if my light is big enough to cover the whole tent. -I bought my light from a friend of mine, it says 600Watt but actual wattage is 134W. (Only thing I know) -The tent is 2x2x5 and I'm planning on growing 2 autoflowers in it

I like a minimum of 30 watts (35 watts is better) of white LED grow light per square foot. So, your 134 watts is good. Do you have a vent fan? If so your heater inside the tent might have a hard time as the fan can usually extract air faster than a humidifier or heater can handle. This is where a temperature and humidity controlled fan is a big help since it only runs when it's needed and doesn't blow all your heated or humidified air out.

I wouldnt have bought anything I didnt know anything about. Maybe accepted it as a gift with no info haha. Anyway that should be enough light for a 2x2. Just pay attention to your plants and do not hang the light too close.

When turn on the lights?It's pretty warm here right now already. When is the right moment to turn the light on? It's a dual spectrum 300w CFL under a 470x470 reflector and both seedlings are auto fem. What's the best light schedule? 24/0? 18/6? Thanks

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlings Seeking advice from Mars Hydro TS1000 growers. When do you increase light intensity during seedling stage? I've had the light 30cm above the plant at 25% power since germination. The plants stalled 2 weeks ago. Can I get them going again by raising intensity or will I fry them?

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?

Short plants in flowering Flowering started but the plants still seem a bit short. Maybe too much or too close light? Or something else? Tried avoiding light off because its hard controlling the rise of humidity.
