Need help with lighting

I have a marshydro ll 700 watt actually :roll_eyes:pulling350ish from the wall I’ve read that you want at least50 watts per square foot my tent is39x39x70 a little over9 square ft so my question is should I invest in another light I should have at least450 watts if im correct new to this indoor gig oh the light is led.

That would be ideal. But nothing says you can’t get by with less. You’ll just not be maximizing what the plants are capable of. If it were me i’d get through the grow you’re on and add one later. But if you’re budget is able to afford it you can add it whenever.

You’ll probably end up with airy buds on the lower parts due to the lack of light. You could probably pick up a Mars 300w for $80 and that would probably get you good enough light @Smokinnuggs

Thanks a ton DoobieNoobie and skgrower,I’m in between the grows right now.This will be just my second round for indoors.First one was a total cluster fk.Live and learn right I tried my hand at critical purple kush wow what a humbling experience.Think I’ll sell this light to my buddy was thinking on a lec any thoughts they have a real nice 630 watts right at540 bucks

LEC is pretty awesome. LEDs are as well if you get higher end ones like HLG Quantum boards. Can’t go wrong with either though. And yeah I learned a lot this round to. Always something to do better next time.

You betcha,aint no hill for a climber.last year I had some lsd,God bud,and stinky pinky all did really well outdoors of course.I plan on doing2 plants in a 18 gallon tote dwc and see what happens with that.leaning towards the lsd again and maybe some crystal or ice

Agreed. man. For Veg stage, i think it is enough. But if you want to let plants grow better for flowering, it is better to add one small light like old Mars 300 or ECO 300. They are very cheap and friendly function. I used their old lights for a while. But now i change into their new Pro II series.

When you’re replying to someone in the bottom right corner is a camera icon. Hit that icon and it will give you the options of live camera, files (photos you’ve already taken or videos) just pick one and tell it ok or open at the top of the screen and away you go dude. I’m in the lab (paid member) and here so any questions tag me @skgrower.
