Hey guys, about to be my first grow, I have a 10x10 vivosun grow tent (was gonna use it as a mushroom chamber/lab) but now im gonna use it to start my first grows of flower. I'm starting off with autoflowers, just so that I can get a feel for the basics, then I will be moving on to photos, I have been studying growing for on and off a year now, and never seen this question except once, but didnt really get a answer for my situation. So.
I have 3 "Durolux DL842N 4 foot t5's" around 54 watts per bulb, 108w per ballask at 6500k.
I also purchased a cheap $40 1000w Dimgogo light on amazon.
I want to be able to use both of the lights at the same time, to make sure I have the most light on the plants as I can, I put all my my budget into this setup, and want to know the best way to use them to grow with.
I was thinking I could use the t5s for some side lighting, while the led stands over the canopy, however, I also had the idea of using the 3 t5's and setting them up in a triangle formation with the led light in the middle so that all 4 lights were over the canopy, but then thought maybe there would be issues because the t5s would have to go lower than the led, and that would cause some of the light from the led to be blocked from the plant. I have more than enough space as im only gonna start with 1 plant in the 10x10. Any ideas, only using what I have and not switching out the 6500k bulbs.
