Too early to prune?

Yeah chop the big plant in half close to where 2 side branches come out and they will get as big as the top one you will get a better yield and a clone from it

Just ordered another light, would it be damaging to my plants if I installed it? Or should I wait for my next grow?

It won't damage them at all

I'll have 2 of these in a 24x48x60, I hope that is a sufficient amount of light

How much were they i would cancel order if i were you and how much actual power draw are they

How much were they i would cancel order if i were you and how much actual power draw are they

65 bucks, runs around 110-130 watts per unit. Not sure if that's specific to dual power or not though

65 bucks, it runs around 110-150 watts each. Not sure if that's specific to dual power or not though.

Well you get what you pay for you won't get the biggest yield your plants I have 4 1000w (250w actual power draw each) phlizon Cree cobs it was 200$ each but they are great lights and have a 2 year warranty

You’re going to want at least 400w of blurple led for that 2x4 imo.

I don't use a grow tent I feel it's a waste of money for such a small amount of space like 200$ for a 3x3ft tent lol
I use a bedroom it is 10x10ft and 7 ft tall I only use 10x3ft

how to do you have your lights set up?
Tents aren’t always necessary but theyre definitely not a waste because the reflective walls increase par efficiency.
You’re going to lose some light if you don’t have any walls up or something.

And yeah the blurples arnt that good I have 2 215w ones I use for seedlings

The - are the plants and I have the lights set up at 45 degrees with them about 24 inches during veg and 18 during flower

You’ve still got plenty of room before you need to prune, but I start topping my plants at 4 weeks from seed or once they have 6 nodes. I just topped some this week. I’ll post a few picks. I pack my tents full & scrog to maximize space.
