If your grow light is legit 300W you won't need to add any light unless you choose. I currently use a 150W Marshydro TS1000 light in a 27X27X63 tent with great results. Hope this helps. Happy growing ✌️👊

You need at least 30w per square feet and your light is providing more than that so it is ok

Not necessarily.. Depending how big u intend to grow plant1.. U will only get a maximum yield out of any 1 light(in optimum conditions)..u can have 1 plant or ten plants and u will get roughly same quality and quantity (in optimums).. The more light =more heat which u will need to consider.. More heat =more ur plant(s) will transpire and drink(not necessarily a gud thing)..if u want to put plant2 in id do it soon b4 plant1 takes over tent!!..gud luck n stay safe.. 👍

Hi @AlanTitchmarsh If your Led really is 300W it is enough to grow 2 plants well. You don't need to add any more light. good luck mate👍

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, Mr.STM

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.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

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? Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

What % to keep lights at during late veg My question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts? Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.
