Okay - I am about to attempt growing in autopots. It’s my 3rd grow ever. It just occurred to me that the lights may be too strong. I have a 5 x 5 x 6 tent; and 2 lights in there at 609W each. Is this too much?
Going to grow Future #1 in coco and perlite; and will be using Fox Farm nutes (Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom).
Are my lights too strong for this tent?
Any other tips?
Which lights? Some are a lot better at turning power into light. It’s possible there will be more light than you need, or it’s possible they are plenty good.
Just LED’s (does that answer your question?)
Not really. There are led fixtures thst have twice the efficacy of hps, and those that have efficacy lower than hps. You’re looking for a total radiometric flux of 1700 umols/s to 2500 umols/s for a 5x5 on ambient co2.
