Would a vipar spectra 600 w led full spectrum and a vipar spectra p 1000 be sufficient in a 5x5 and should either light be strictly for veg ? They both have dimmer knobs .

Whats the actual watts on the 600?
Its 100 actual watts on the p1000
If its 60 then no. Vipar claims the 600 is sufficient for a 3x3

Take your area and multiply it by 30 so 5x5 is 25sq ft x 30 = 750w from wall.

All measurements should be watts draw from wall

you have a combined 360w, really good for a 3x3 (1sq meter)

Would you run them side by side ?

How many pots would be adequate in that 3x3?

I run 4 DWC in a 3x3 in 3.5 gallon pots and it's too tight but that's what I do.

You can scrog and fill it with 30 if you can fit 'em or one and fill out the room....up to you!
