Adding extra lighting

[BegginerGrower]

I currently have a GN Telos 0010 300w power draw, this is a 1.2m2 tent I’m growing in, I was thinking about adding a mars hydro TS1000 150w power draw to make it up 450w for my tent..would this be a good idea?

With the new light, that would be the bare minimum wattage for that size with quality LEDs.

So would the both of them together be okay for my 1.2 tent?

The mars hydro ts 1000 is a cheap led but been tested An good for what it costs but my telos 0010 is a quality led

Minimum of 500 watts of decent diodes for a 4x4.

The Telos 10 has 10 30W modules, drawing 300W and providing a PPF output of 558.9μmol/s.

A pair of those would be my minimum.
Also, note that this is blurple efficacy.
Not my first choice.

So my led I have now is 300w an I’ve just ordered the mars hydro ts1000 which is 150w, so 50w short but il make do,not expecting massive yields..but they should be fairly decent shouldn’t they?

The efficacy of your Telos is about the same as an HPS lamp.
4x4's usually run 800-1000 watts of HPS, so you have quite a gap to fill.

You won't be disappointed. I have the TSW 2000 and it's been much better than i expected.

good that's what I hoped! Have you done a full grow with it yet? If so what did you yield?

 

[Skewbong]

I have 2 more weeks on these. First full grow. Middle 3 are best, and rock hard.

Bloody hell they look rate good Mate! Is it just the TSW 2000 you've got over them??

Yes and a 90 watt kessil. The best comes from the tsw though

Is that kessil stated at 90w or is that what it actually draws? How much you reckon you will yield mate? Can't wait for my ts1000 to come now.. Should get a half decent yield 450w in total

 

[Skewbong]

Kessil is pretty overpriced. Its ok, not great value but I think its actual draw. I don't have a meter.

I'm hoping for 6 oz min. Will likely get 8-10 oz. Very dense and still 2 weeks to fatten up. 2 plants suck. And 3 are awesome. 3 bubblicious and 2 big bud.
