So im running a 9x4 tent with 2 mars hydro 3000 watt tws I believe is what they are called. Only 1 light going at the moment and ready in a day or 2 for the second. Conditioned basement, some autos in coco and some zombie df(og kush x gsc) in bith a rdwc and some in just bubble buckets. Like i said im new to indoors.lol. im using House and Garden bites on the hydro and both technaflora and house and garden on the coco.(just a personal experiment to see how each fairs on the same strains) so any advice? Overkill on the lights? All seeds were bought from attitude and clones for the hydro were all taken from the zdf mother i have going in coco. (Also first attempt at really training anything) just looking for some input, any is appreciated! Thanks everybody in advance!

Just a couple pointers; remove the dome lids...they aren't necessary and they aren't beneficial to what you're trying to do.

More importantly, and don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes it's better to master one way of growing vs. attempting multiple ways to grow, especially if you're new. The more uniform you make things, the easier it will be to deal with issues as they arise. Never the less, I admire your willingness to try multiple ways to grow at once. Good luck.

Those lights aren't 3000W, they are 450W each, and two of those in an 8x4 tent will be a little shy of what you need for flower. They'll be fine, but just wanted to make sure you knew the actual wattage of your lights and that a little more wattage would make a difference in flowering.

Thanks bud and yeah I do realize the actual wattage and should have put that in. Thats just how the light is listed and didnt think about listing actual wattage. I also have another smaller led I was gonna put inbetween the other 2 lights. Eventualy i want to go hps but venting heat is an issue in my current spot.

Is the "Zombie" a photo period plant? If so, how are you going to manage running both auto and photo in the same tent? Will you veg the photos until the autos are done, and then switch to a 12/12 light cycle?

Lol totally didnt take it the wrong way and appreciate the feed back. As to the domes, i was told by a friend that the domes would help for the first week after transplanting clones. Gonna ditch them and take your advice though. And yes definitely should not have jumped in all at once but I'm a stay at home dad now so I'm really bored and have nothing better to do. Lol
