I would like more lighting - But how?

[Username97]

I am going to be getting a 600watt LED Mars Hydro, the original series, but I have read quite frequently that its not strong enough for the flowering stage. I'm think CFL's, 2700k as I think I'll have enough lighting for a good Veg cycle.

I'm not wanting to spend much money for additional lighting but I feel that more is necessary for some nice bud.

I will be growing in a 80 x 80 x 160 cm grow tent (This more than likely to change as I'm thinking off making something so I can work with the space I have), I will have 5" Fan and filter so heat may be an issue? I'm not sure about the heat coming off cfl. Using Clay pebbles in a rdwc

Any info is welcome.

Disregard what people said about the original mars not having enough output.

Its a lie or misconception 100%

I use the cheapest old style of mars 300w panels @ 175w each and grow 1/2 lb plants with them.

And always have from the first time using them , to be honest people blame mars rather then their own incompetence.

It can be hard to accept defeat for some people ...
