Your thoughts on my setup

Hey guys,

This is my third grow and going into the second week of flowering. Would love to hear what you guys think of my setup (indoor grow tent) .

BESTVA 1200 watt led
27" from canopy
3x3ft foliage
6" blow fan
Improvised Intake/exhaust fans

Id particularly be interested to know if you think the light can cover the entire canopy from that height.

(FYI I've got x2 more 300 watt Galaxyhydro LEDs just lying around. CFLs are for observational purposes only).

What’s the light pull from the wall that’s what you need or should know.

Sure man, just let us know the name of that LED fixture you're using

Addl Note: Ive gotten almost identical yields from using a single 300w Galaxy hydro .. Could've been other factors like nutes, soil etc. but i wonder if other people experienced the same result.

The light can certainly cover that area, but you have to add those galaxyhydro LEDs too. Your light is simply too weak to do a good job...

As of right now, your light is similar to a 200-250 watt hps... And there is simply not enough photons to give you a nice yield in a 9 sqft area. If you add those galaxy hydro which i assume are between 120w to 150w in power draw, then you're hovering around 400-500W of actual power which should be much more fit for the task.

(For the more sciencey out here i'm assuming 0.9 umole/j)

Ive added an additional x2 Galaxyhydro 300watt according to your advise.
