Too much LED light?

[Bubbafreed]

Hi all please see the attached photo this is 2 * 800 in a 1.2 by 1.2 tent, I have been watching

with regards to check PAR / LUX I don't seem to be able to get above 10000 LUX if I have one light on with regards to plants on the outside.

So the question is am I over powered?
Are my lights to close, I am reaching 45000 LUX in the middle then 10000 on the out plant.

Whilst I want my plants to grow as best as possible and grow

great buds I also want to be as efficient as possible with regards to bills

800 what?
1.2 what?

Units help a lot, without them numbers are just.. well numbers...

But you're underlit anyways, if anything you need more light.

Measuring lux/lumen is useless, and a waste of time

Sorry 800Watts, 1,2 metre by 1,2 metre tent

so basically a 4X4
if it's actually pulling 800 from the wall, not bad
however too many people go by what the manufacturer specs advertise
you want light measurements in PAR
lux/lumens is not helpful

Ahh OK, 120x120cm

Now, these lights are not actually 800w, my guesstimate is around 200w draw each.

You'll be able to grow some decent bud under them, but they won't cover your entire space or grow massive buds with maxed potency.
It looks like the plants are turning towards the light which means they want more
It's a good idea to move the plants around so they share the light.

Put a 400w-600w HPS in there along with the LEDs and you're in business

I'd say you could use even more lights. If you use the same type of LED lights, you could add two more 1000 watt usints

Hi Bubb, if the 800w is the real wattage, then you should have enough light, or maybe a little big more during veg; but if you are using the less wattage from wall, then you might add more. You will need 35~50w/sft for led grow light growing. Hope this helps!

is around 400w draw each
