600 Watt LED grow light question

[BamaNick]

I’m wondering how many plants I should try and grow under my 600 watt led light I am thinking 3 for my first time but I wanted to ask y’all the experts I’m growing in a 3/3/5 tent

It’s a king led 600 watt led from Amazon I’m still waiting on it to come in the mail they say it’s on the top 5 led lights they sell

Hey welcome to the community. 3 plants will do good in the 3x3 under the king. Check the actual draw from the wall is probably something like 110W just guessing here. If so a 2nd one would be an asset.

Ghempster is right, another one would be good.
My personal rule of thumb.
led= 30-40 watts per sqft( depending on led quality).
Hid= 50 watts sqft.

so a 3x3 would be 9 sqft.
9x30= 270 watts.
just my 2cents.

That's enough light for maybe two plants max, says it draws 125w and some of that is lost to drivers and fans. I'd say at least 3 of them would be needed for a 3x3
