light questions

Light question.
I have a 3.5x3.5 x 6 high tent
I have a 600 w hps in there now, I just got another light on accident
Its a 600 mh
Both dimmable ballasts,
Is that too much light?
And would running both spectrums be beneficial as well

Yes, but this may cause other issues if you cannot control the heat.

Sorry to say Yes and agree with spliffbuddy. Hey! at least you have and extra which is always nice!

The sun averages 7k lumens per sqft ,most plants have adapted to be able to handle the sun ... Over 10k or about 110,000lux if your a weirdo will bleach your plants. That's the sun at its strongest...when this bleaching occurs the plant is not being able to keep up chlorophyll production at rates necessary, plants can't handle 10k consistently..you aim for 7..likewise 2100 lumens are required to maintain photosynthesis..lights are rated at 1 foot...(I like to bleach some of my heavier sativas, but I wouldn't suggest that till you know how the strain reacts)

Heat burns the plant in a different way, similar to having too much wind. From moisture being drawn out the leaves (transpiring)faster than the plant can replenish Btw photosynthesis is most efficient at about 85degrees..a smaller difference between night and day temps will reduce fox tailing...

This question comes up constantly..is there not asticky on lighting?

Get another tent!

There probably is a sticky but dont you feel all warm and cuddly helping......😻
