4x8 Led capacity Question

[blastinbob]

Ok so here it is I have currently 2 4x4 tents with 2 spyderx plus lights I want to move to one 4x8 for flower and keep one 4x4 for veg. I am curious if I need both spyderx plus's in one 4x8 tent I have options I can put them both in one tent and get a cheap light for my 4x4 veg tent or just use one 4x8 and add couple of cheaper lights on each side to get the coverage on the canopy I can afford another spyderx plus but not looking to throw money away for nothing.

Lots of cheaper options for a good veg light than the Spyderco
HLG
Budget LED
Timber

All make great QB boards for that size veg tent

I'd maximize my Flower area over Veg area personally

Yes I can see using a cheaper light for my veg tent I am just not sure I need 2 spyderx plus lights in a 4x8 as it is I find myself not using it at full blast without bleaching problems I do not use c02 as I don't run a closed system but it could be a consideration in this upgrade I will say running sypderx plus lights at around 80% max does save on power supplies so far have not eaten any I hear its common.

I believe for 4x8 you can run 2x 300-450 true watt LEDs quite comfortably. I'd do 2x 450w. Obviously with 2x 450w you dim them during seedling & veg then go full power gradually in early flowering.

I veg a 4x8 with a home made 375W bridgelux light and 2 cheap 120W draw blurples
