The wattage advertised is not the true wattage of the light, you need to find the draw from the wall and then subtract a little for fans and heat loss! If you go with a bigger tent you will not regret it! Some of these girls can get big! As for lighting you would be better off using HLG stuff as @fano_man said, but there are other options also! I personally use HLG stuff and I love it!

gotta run with em
Thatâs 3000$ in 4 fixtures I love em 750 each 640 watts apiece Iâll never need more light âŚambient co2 ( without adding co2) over 800 ppf is over kill but you can get bigger and turn down for longer life of fixturebyou wonât be maxing the devices power supply out wonât be getting super hot just a good idea u will understand once u spend 300 and u still end up wanting the 700 light in 6 months

@rterry welcome to the forum. Iâd recommend go as big as you can on a tent. I started with a 3x3 and switched to a 4x4 very quickly and it has not let me down. You can grow one plant comfortably in a 2x2 tent maybe two if you really crowd them. Do research on lights. If your looking at led most people will steer you clear of the inexpensive lights on Amazon. Look at hlg lights. Lighting for sure is a buy once cry once endeavor.
ShootâŚI didnât think of the distance between the lights and ceiling / plantsâŚ
(I was cut off by a limitâŚsorry!)
I will look into HLG. Thanks.
BTWâŚI am growing only 2 plants for my first venture. Some of these set ups are quite large!
Anything less the 7 foot is to low for my lights from top of tent to highest Iâd be able to reel up my 600s are 6 inches between ceiling and bottom of fixtures⌠I would need atleast 12 to 18 inches between my light and canopy⌠1 foot up from floor is bucket height leaves you with a max of a 4 foot plant thatâs livable I usually train the hell out of my plants and there 6 foot plants that grow <---------> instead of ^^^^^
Thanks for the suggestions Fano on the lighting.
I am only growing 1 or 2 plants at a timeâŚnothing big.
Your lighting suggestions are kind of overwhelming.
Will a TS 1,000 W LED be ok for this?
For 2 plants kinda nymore no way youâd be better off with hlg 260 xl for 2 plants
And ability to do a lil more
