Too much light?

[Droopydroors]

I had this Meizhi Cree COB not being used so I figured out how to squeeze it in my 3 x 3 tent. Up till now I was only running the 600 Meizhi, 450 Meizhi and 450 Viparspectra for a total of around 650 true watts. With the new light in there I'm sitting around 815 true. Is this too much? I have them all around 18" - 24" above canopy.

The girls in the tent are (from left to right): Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue, Mephisto Alien Vs Triangle and Advanced Seeds Amnesia all autos.

That's plenty of light for a 3x3. You want 50 Watts per square ft for great yields.

You're okay with that, it's plenty so there shouldn't be a need for more light unless you're trying to increase footprint

Looks good. I have 2-900 watt meizhi and 2 600 meizhi leds. They are really good lights and better than other “name brand leds”. You have them high enough that they will be fine. When you are 4 weeks into flower, you can fill the tent with leds and they will thrive

Yes I know it's plenty but I'm hoping it's not too much. Going off that formula it would be 450 watts I'm at 90 watts per square foot.

You can shut one off now and turn it on when they are 3-4 weeks into flower. I normally run a 600 hps for a 3x3 square but when they are mid flower and if heat is not an issue, I would add more if I could. Just keep them 18-20” away from the top of the plant
