Will this light be enough for a 4x4 tent?

VACAVILLE,CA.GROWER · Jul 9, 2020

I just curious if this light will be enough for a 4x4 tent with autoflowers.
I plan on running autoflowers 1st later in the year when it gets cooler.
Then try some photos later.
Should I run 2 of these lights for a 4x4 tent?

You should do photos first. 3 of those would be pretty good hung high. Or 4 if dimmed. But personally I think the qb120's or qb132's are the way to go. Full ceiling of light

I'm assuming it's a knockoff based on the price but those are the recommendations from HLG for that build. Two should handle flowering a 4x4 nicely.

ok so photos 1st.
I have one of these lights already,so I was wanting to know if 2 would be good for a 4x4 tent.
Would it be better to use a 2 of these with a 3x3 tent?
If so I would know to buy another.

Thank you for the reply

Trust me, you want the 4x4 and as much light as you can afford, reasonably speaking. I'm running around 635 watts of led in my 4x4 and am saving for another 250w

How many plants inside a 4x4 tent?
I want enough to make it worth it but not over grown.

Yea I know about a lot of small plants with a SOG grow.
I would like 4 plants, veg for about 1 month and then flip.

That sounds right if you’re using clones, if you’re talking from seed you’ll need another month or so

Yes 4 photos. 2.5 gal pots. Coco. Vegged over 4 weeks for sure. Not sure on the exact numbers

Pot up as you go and you can flower when nodes are not symmetrical or even off the Main stem
