Lighting

[MikeLife500]

Just got this for my 4x4x6 tent. Any input? My main question though is, are the bloom/flower buttons necessary? Or should I just have both switches on at all times during my light period? Also I'll be growing 4 plants dwc buckets

Good light for one plant, not near enough for a 4x4 tent

And it's like 90 actual watts

Think I can get at least 2 under there?

If its 90w then your looking at around 1x2ft of your 4x4ft at the most.

Edit, its a 200w light, so you can cover 2x2ft, a quarter of your tent. Manufacturer states 2.5x.25ft but I would stick to 2x2

So technically you can grow two small plants under it

Should i just grab another light like the one I have and hang 2 lights in there? Or you have a recommendation thats somewhat affordable

You'd need 4 of those lights to get any good coverage at all

Im not a fan of cheap lights, though I do love quality LED.
Two options, carry on as you are and save up for a better quality LED, white Samsung 301b or h diodes
Or buy a 600w hps and a good air cooled hood. Which will be 200w less than you would be using if you bought enough of the led you already have to light your tent. HPS is still value for money and will beat cheap LED.
