4x5 flower tent

[Fastcar]

Hi
Ive jus started to setup my 4ft x 5ft flower area. Would i be best using 2 x 600w or 1 x 1000w lamp?
Got ballests already and air cooled reflectors if needed. I could also get a light mover on the 1000w if needed. Thanks all.

I have a 600w LED and it is plenty it seems in an 80x80x160cm
I have 4x plants going and they are growing very big very fast...
You know I've read to more light the better!
That might help you....????

So that would be 2x600 then
But i keep reading 1000w give deeper penetration into the canopy.
So undecided. Lol!

Well 1000w is great. Be sure to follow the instructions as to how far to place the light above the plants to prevent burn. I Love my LED and it's the newest technology in LEDs they are called COB LEDs

Like the look of led but need the heat of hps unfortunately lol!

It's summer, heat is easy to find. Why is it you think you need heat? Theirs an argument for both sides. The plants will actually thrive on anything above 75°F. Humidity is the beast!
