I’m underway with my first grow in a 4x2x5 tent. This tent was bundled with one Viparspectra P1000. The light is rated to be capable of flowering a 2x2 area. I immediately bought a second P1000 to fill the other half tent.
My question is if the light is 100 watts, capable of a 2x2 space, therefore a 4x2 space needs two lights. My math says that 2x2 space is 4 sq.ft. for 100 watts or 25 watts/sq. ft. well below the 50 watts/sq.ft. that I see recommended. Am I missing something? Did I make a mistake buying this tent-light combination? My one surviving plant seems to be happy enough in one tent half. I’m a bit confused.
All this newfound growing information is enough to give a guy a mental hernia!
