I am going to be using a 60x60cx120xm tent with a 600w LED light, I was reading about the equipment required for set up, I see there are a Humidifier and dehumidifier suggested. Curious, would I need this for such a small tent?

What light

As mentioned before a 600w blurple is NOT 600w, more like 120w


Also

4' is really short for a blurple light. Leaves hardly any room for the plant
Light 24" min... including as high as possible mounted
Pot 8"-12"
Leaves like 16" MAX for the plant


Good luck

Thanks, Bob appreciate your advice. I understand what is sold as a 600w blurple equates to - Input Voltage: AC100-240V, honestly I'm not sure what you mean about 120w, this wasn't a number seen on the specs for the vipar, Being I'm a complete newbie I may appear somewhat unknowledgeable. Are you saying what is sold as 600w actually equates to 120w? I am still exploring lights and in the previous post you had kindly responded to I have put forward questions regarding lighting. I would be happy to hear your feedback on that. ;-)

Plug into the wall and see what current it draws, it should be 600w + 10/12% if it doesn't it isn't.
I'm not familiar with the light in question but it's not unusual to get ridiculous theoretical figures.
