Hello there. Benchmark wattage per square foot for any grow space is 50-75 watts(commercial growers use this benchmark too)Since we use intense LEDS, 50-65 is what we're looking for. Any higher and light stress/burning can occur. Put that lamp LED at 24-30 inches above canopy at 50 watts/square foot and you're good to go👍😉
P.s. if you don't plan on filling the tent to the edges, consider this when calculating. If you're only going to use 2x2 space, and you're looking at 200watts. Going to edge, suddenly it jumps to 300-350😮
Good luck and hope this helped. Throw me a PM if you need anything else👍😉

Not a led user but I would shoot for 80 watts per square foot of grow space. 😎

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
