I have a 4×8 ft flood and drain table that I put 3000 watts on it.I am looking for anyone that has put that much light on one table and there experiences with it.
Is 3000 watts too much light on a 4×8 ft flood and drain.

That amounts to about 93.75 watts per square foot. With temps/humidity/airflow in check...that sounds like nothing but optimal lighting to me!
Huge yields!! But what do I know, I'm still a novice, not really speaking from experience.

i use a 1k in a 4x8 room 8 site RDWC.. i wish i could split it into 2 600w lights just because.
i think 2x 1k would be more than enough but i dont want to say for sure if 3k is overkill as canabis is a light whore.

Me too 3rd time and so far temps are 68-78 and humidity is 50-60%. Huge yields is the goal. Here's some pics from week 5.That amounts to about 93.75 watts per square foot. With temps/humidity/airflow in check...that sounds like nothing but optimal lighting to me!

How far off the canopy do you keep your 1000 to cover a 4×8 footprint?

As long as you are keeping proper temps, and not toasting the ladies, there is no such thing as too much light. More properly administered light = more yield. Good luck.
