Just wanted to correct my last reply to you. Two of those lights is PLENTY in a 4x4. I've been running two of the "1500W" models in mine for 2 years, and the model OP ordered has an additional COB chip. I've had pretty good results with mine and, while they definitely aren't as good as a QB setup, they will definitely be good enough for a beginner who wants to be able to start growing now and save up for a better light later on.

The two lights you have will be great for getting started. Like I said, yours are slightly more powerful than mine, and I run them in a tent that is the same dimensions as yours. Keep them 24" - 32" off the plants during veg and 18" - 24" off the plants during flower and you will get some nice results. Mine have been god enough to keep me from upgrading for a year longer than I expected. My plan was to get those to hold me over for a year but I've been running them for 2.
Okay so what if I add the ts1000 in the tent with it, will it be overkill?
And how many plants do you normally run in your tent?

I run 4, but I’ve done 6 in there before. I’d rather do 4, and just leave them in veg longer, so they fill the tent. Six plants was just a pain in the ass when it came to reaching every plant to water and prune. You can pull the same yield off 4 plants, as you can six, you just have to veg them longer.
Thank you for the advice. How much do you normally pull off each plant under this light?

Ive pulled 2-3oz off each plant, but I’ve also only been doing this for 2 years, and have made a lot of mistakes along the way. I’m not going to guess what I yielded from the plants I harvested, today, but I will have those numbers in 10-14 days when they are done drying. I will say, though, that I yielded more than I ever have with this round of plants. The top picture is my last harvest, which was lower than normal for me (6oz from 4 plants). But, as you can see in the bottom photo, I did a little better this time.
What gallon pots are you using? And how long are you vegging?

I’ve been growing in 5 gallon pots but will be going with 10 gallon for my next grow, because I’m going mall organic for that. The plants I just harvested were in veg for 8 weeks and in flower for 10 weeks. The previous Grow was in veg for 4 weeks and in flower for 11 weeks. You can go HERE and see full diaries for both grows. The one I just harvested is the OG Kush diary, and the last one is the Purple Haze diary.
Thanks man
