First grow here, should I add another light for more coverage?

I have a spider farmer 2x4 but it's actually a bit bigger, 27 inches x 55 inches. Paired with a Viparspectra xs2000, I'm thinking add another xs1500 to fill in the edges, what do you guys think? Seems like too big of an empty area on the left and right side of the light, take a look at the pic

IMO- you have the minimum (360w led) for that space 10 sq ft. So yes, add as much light as you want.

Have fun

2 x 4 = 10 now? Lol! I would not add more than 100w LED in that space. I wouldn't advice a newcomer to add as much light as possible in a tent with limited low ceilings? That's a recipe for disaster.

You will already have a struggle with the low ceilings in the tent running LED's. Do you measure the inside or outside of the tent?

27x55 = 1485
1485/144 = 10.3125

or is my math wrong?

I would be happy with the current light. As you said, it's your first grow. Keep it simple, and learn. You can always add more shit on the next grow.

I see no use of doing calculations when you don't know if his measures are correct without any point of reference? That's a 2x4 in every sense of the word. 120x60x150cm (4x2x5) is what they state on their website.

I looked at the listing now. 27x55 is the size of the door of the tent! Bravo!

The measurements are from the amazon link I bought it from, 10sq ft is about correct. I don't wanna grow no fluffy crap buds, I got a feeling the buds not directly under the light won't be good? BTW I wouldn't buy this tent if anyone is interested, it came with plastic corners..

I'd throw another xs2000 right next to it. I'm running a vipar xs4000 in a 2x4 with low ceilings and no issues at all
