Hi so i have an indoor raised bed grow room. Box measures 4 ft wide 8 ft long 2 ft deep. For lighting i have (2) 1000W MH/HPS dimable hoods and (2) 600 W full spectrum LED over it . Im currently in veg and all lighting is roughly 24" from top canopy. My question is im a little leary on turning up MH to 1000W been keeping them at 650W does this seem adequate. Room temp runs around 80 degrees RH is around 62%. Have amnesia haze in there now in LST there short but very bushy. Thx for reading

Just to clarify, your grow footprint is 4x8 over which you have 2x 1000mh dimmed to 650 each and 2 full spectrum LED, likely real draw of ?230w? Your asking if that's enough light without turning up to full power on the MHs ?

If I'm understanding your question then yes, more than enough.
I may of misunderstood though since I have no idea what a raised bed grow room is, nor what you mean by 2 ft deep. Do you mean canopy is 2ft deep?

if youre at 80 degrees with the 1k's dimmed.. youre going to be even hotter on full blast. if you can get your temps in check a little better by bringing in more cool air you should be in good shape. idk what your cooling method is but dedicated ac in not out of the question.
@coreywebster a raised bed grow room is a grow room with a built "flower bed". his is 4x8 and 2 feet deep. probably made with 2x12's to give it the 2 feet in depth. but could also be made with plywood or the likes. obviously not my pic, just for an idea of what hes talking about
