I have a 3x3x6 grow tent. In it I have a vivosun 600 watt led and I just put a hlg 260 v2 rspec in there too. If I can keep the temperature down should I keep both leds in there? Will the plants be able to use all the light and increase my yield? Or will it just be a waste of power. And if if it does increase my yield is it worth the extra money on my light bill
Need advice on light

Yea true. But in your opinion what would you do. Would you keep both in? Or would you just use the hlg
I'm gonna be the guy pumping about 550 watts into a 4x4

Run a dryer vent hose from the floor to a top vent hole. Then run a dryer vent hose from the top vent hole on the other side of your tent to your exhaust fan. Then the exhaust fan to your carbon filter.
That runs cool floor level air across your lights exhausting the majority of the heat.

Do you have a picture where you do that? It would help a lot but I'm not getting exactly how to do it.

Your first grow will probably yield a .5g/watt .8 at best. I think I got around .75g/watt doing slot of research, reading, starting with a good light and ventilation. I wont do better this run, too many issues and covid really puts a damper since myplants are 1h away (landlord forbids growing). But my 3rd grow will probably be over 1g/w

Practice makes perfect, I just ordered 1 of my supplemental lights. And in a few months I'll be ordering another and have roughly 760 watts in a 4x4 tent.
Light is the #1 way to increase yield. The .ore the better

Mico,
My advice would to just keep things fairly simple for the first run through. Keep a detailed journal as well. Make sure you record temp, RH, how frequently you water, how your plants respond to any kind of training, EC/PPM of any nutrient solution you mix up, or honestly anything you can think of etc... The more you can write down and reference back to, the better you'll be able to avoid any potential mistakes in the future. That is whats been working great for me. I have done a fair bit of studying/preparation for this first grow of my own but I have found myself constantly referring back to my journal for how to best move forward.
Good luck and I'll be following along!

I grow in a non legal state so I cant go too overboard with the lighting. I'm just gonna try and train them the best I can
Oooh well then hopefully those politicians get smart and fix your issue

Yea I'm keeping it pretty simple. Need to write stuff down more tho. So far all I've written down is dates when I'll start feeding or lst. Thanks man I appreciate the advice and hopefully these girls will get nice and fat.

Sounds like you have got a solid foundation! I'm sure if you keep that drive to learn you'll be able to pull it off. Pulling for you!
