New grow after a break for a long while

So I’ve got 3 critical kush and one auto freebie under 3 x 110w Samsung led panels with MeanWell drivers

I’m running them in a Alien 4 pot system with canna nutes just started 12/12 today after setting up the loft tent electrics and boarding the floor ect for the last week plants are just over 1 month 2 weeks old from seed

has any one had any experience growing with these light i have done many grows in the past but Always used 2 x 1000w hps in light hoods
With a flood and drain train but due to electric prices decided to try the led lights and info or own led grows things to watch for ect let me no thanks

Nice set up.
Wow, That's a big step down from 2 x 1000 watt HPS's. Needs must.

What size is the tent, 4ft x 4ft? 300 watts is a bit low for a 4 x 4
What's your temps like in there now ? It'll get hot in the summer time. I know lol
What make are the lights and are they dimmable? It's a pity you haven't got 4 of them.
In the tent, see the horizontal poles about 4ft up?, you could run garden wire across the tent and hang lights off the wires. That would mean you could put a light directly above each plant. I'd sacrifice the auto and let it do it's own thing and place the 3 lights over the 3 critical kush.
If they are in flowering, ...they look quite small ... I'd slowly lower the lights closer to they canopy.
I'd guestamate eventually down to ~ 14" away from the plants.
I hope that helps

Hi

the lights are neillo 1000w actual output 110w
The grow tent is a 120x120x160 loft budbox
My original plan was for 4 critical kush in the pots with a light each but one died and a light I ordered was faulty so waiting on a return item think I will do what you suggested and give the 3 critical the led lights above them and just leave the auto in the corner to do it’s thing thanks for the idea about running wire I went and got some yesterday so I can hang the lights like that
The temps atm are ok with light on I’m at 23c lights off with a tube heater 20c I run the lights at 12 at night till 12 in the day without heater atm in the day I was getting lows of 17c
also they have only just been put in the flower tent the day I posted this before that they were in a vedg box so hopefully they will begin to stretch and flower soon thanks for your suggestions and reply

That's positively tropical temperatures compared to the temps I grow in lol.
I'd be vegging in 12°C at times. I use soil and heatmat to keep soil warm in winter
Hydro would be good for winter as the water can be kept at a constant temp with a fish tank heater, keeping area a bit warmer.

Thought I would post a few updates of plants still got the little auto in there but light are more focused on the 3 critical they have now been on the flower tent for 16 days and are starting to grow wild

First week In flower tent 16days in flowering tent

13 days in

Just a few updated photos for anyone looking at this thread 4 weeks of flowering atm looking good starting to smell lovely
