Mars hydro ts1000. 150w

[Tokeybear12]

I have a 2×3 tent. Looking to Sog. Is one light enough for 5 plants?

5 plants in a 2x3? Why? Can I see the plants and the tent pls

Instead do one photo plant in a 2x3, no need to put so many in a small area like that..

I get where your coming from. But the question still remains. Is a Mars hydro ts1000 enough at 150 true watts?

Just over 20w per sq ft. Should be ok but I agree with @ProteinPapi420. 5 plants is too much for a 2x3. I have a 2x4 and I’m running 2 plants.

No.
That gives you 25W/sq. Ft.
Think LED guys want 35W/sq. Ft I believe.

An LED guy should be along here fast enough... @PadawanWarrior @TintEastwood @Nizza

This is only my second time. Im gonna do GSC and all the recommendations say SOG it. Im just confused now lol. And you said it SHOULD be okay. Does that mean I'm hovering on the lower end of recommended output? If so would it hurt so add a second one?

Plants not setup yet. Only tent and supplies. Wanted to make sure temp and humidity could be easily manipulated first as i just installed AC infinity carbon filter system

2- would be overkill, but that's what the dimmer switch is for

1=not enough.
2=more than enough

 

[Nizza]

30-40w sq/ft for high quality led and 40-50 for lower

Overkill in what way. Will it harm the end result?

Harm nah.
I'll step aside and let @Nizza take over this one.
Led not my cup o'tea

My big light from what I understand is considered a decent light at max is 38W/sq.ft. I never run it over 85% as it will put a hurt on the plants.

Get a real light.

A real light will light up a 3-3 without having to stuff it in a foil box.

But what is your true total wattage?

Mine is only 150w true. In a 2×3. I feel like it won't be enough
