Is this light enough to cover my tent?

Stoenoestarted grow question 5y 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.

ViparSpectra P600 or P1000?I'm just starting with a small setup (40x40x100cm tent), only one small plant at the time, but want to be able to grow proper quality in long-term. I suppose the biggest difference between the two lights is the 930 vs 1006 umol/m2/s? Any advise appreciated!

Lightning question Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?
