Hi!
Last week had 1250 wats. One platinum led (250w) and 1000w bloomspec. before that only the bloomspec.
Last Week with 2 lights it seems the plant started to burn. now the bloom spec got removed. Actual only platimun led(1 day ago).
i would like to confirm that my problem
Was to much light and heat. Max heat with two lights 33c. Grow space 1m. lamp hight from canopy 24” . Strain jack herer. Grow time 75 days. Bag of co2 next to plant

It's not light, it's likely heat. 33C (91.4F) is high.

Your "1000W" light only draws 182W from the wall, so I suspect that your "250W" is below 60W draw, so in reality, you've got less than 250W in total for light.

thanks for replay, with only the $250 does not go above 30c

should I be good with 250w?

Co2 bag in a small tent is a waste of money, worthless.

91 Fahrenheit is a bit hot, increase exhaust fan CFM........and lift the lights up a bit.

I’d say you are a little underpowered. With high end LEDs, they normally target 30-35 watts (from the wall....not “claimed” watts) per square foot of space that you are lighting. So if you are lighting a 3x3 foot tent, that’s 9 square feet. You’d want a minimum of 270 watts....with more being better.
