Need someone to tell me I'm not dumb.

Well, I dug myself into a hole. Money is tight and I just finished my white widow auto fem, which turned out amazing except for the yield. Was running one Galaxy Hydro 300w "full spectrum" light.

Turns out my yield was so crappy because I didn't have enough light throughout the entire process. Having only 200$ to my name in expendable money, I decided to buy another Galaxy Hydro 300w and a 1200w COB Led.

Being so new at growing led me here to ask, will I still be limiting my yields with only "1800w" of Chinesse LED power as I already germ'd my (4) GDP Fem's

Tent is 48Lx 24Wx60H

Technically no you wouldn't be limiting your yields if the space were right for the amount of light.

But I hate to say I cant imagine the 1200w cob is a 1200w cob for that money. I would imagine its a cheap Chinese light with cob in the title and isn't close to been 1200w.

DO you have a link to the light?

What space are you trying to cover with all these lights?

Edit sorry, I just noticed the size of tent

Ok the galaxy hydro is only 135 real watts. So you have 270w of galaxy plus the cob light which is gona be 300w if that. you should have plenty of light in there.

You need to make sure your air exchange is good and your temps are good. You should do better than last time as long as environment is in range.

You might do better with some photoperiod seeds.

220-240w add that to your other 2 lights and provided your tent doesn't implode from heat you should see an improvement.

Terrible lights though. . But you have what you have.

Led lights are the wrong choice for a tent only 5 feet high. Have to keep plants extremely short to avoid burn

Shoulda bought an hps. Can get a 600 in a vented hood for 250 with digital ballast and even dial it back to 450w. Air cooled hood would let you run the canopy only a few inches from the plants.
