I got 7 plants under a 1000w hps & a 600w mh. I got this in a 4x4 tent. They are all in flower mode. Does anyone know if this is too much light?

Straight up overkill, the plants cannot utilize all that light, and Keeping it cool is gonna be a nightmare i'm sure. pull the 600 out , the 1000 is more than enough

That is a lot of damn light for a 4x4. Can you even keep it cool?
Personally if you aren't using CO2 I highly doubt the plants will utilize that much. In fact in flower, the 1000 watt hps should be more than enough for a 4x4 even with co2

What would be optimal for a 4x4 without co2

So if i bought 2. 480w qbs. For a 4x8 it would suffice or should I go bigger

For 4x8 ld use 2 800w high end ledsq, preferably a brand that veges 5x5. At 960w you are giving 25w per sq ft. 30 is low but willflower, my 600w in 4x4 gives37.5w per sq ft. Need co2 at higher levels of power, higher temp 85-91 degrees wiyh 75-80rh, vent tent about hour before lights out and hour after to remove excess humidity, no pm this way. Dont vent good luck fighting pm off.2 1000w true watt leds will give you 67.5 w per sq ft. That would be killer. Good luch bro or bra!

I know it’s an old post but plants benefit from higher temps when using co2 enrichment..my plants pray to the light at temps above 80f also vapor pressure deficit and leaf temps plays a vital role for proper uptake of nutrients co2 and light..light being the last because if nutrients Ppm’s water ph temps and humidity are off light and co2 wouldn’t work efficiently.

Couldnt agree more. Im running lower temps and rh this run and am fighting all sorts of shit. When was enriching and temps and rh was high plants grew much better.
