1300+ Watts in a 4x4 tent. Is there such a thing as too much?

[joe blow greenthumb]

Title says it all. I've got a 4x4x6.5 tent with a 1k hps and just added my 300w LED. I've got some cfl lights but didn't put them in. Can you have too much light or too much of a certain spectrum? I've got some veg girls and seedlings along with a flowering critical Jack. The critical Jack goes into another room for it's dark.

Nope, looks great man.
The only way to have too much light is if the temps are getting too high or you have too much light penetrating into the res which will cause algae and root rot.

no just get shut of the cool tube and get shut of the led's and get your self a better hood, then start to lollipop and on and on

My hood has a removable reflector. In case you're referring to light coming out the side. But it does the job and I can get my temps down into the 50s if I wanted.

Well sometimes too many lumens per square foot can be a waste, there is a formula but what your doing is fine, like these guys are saying watch your heat! ~ BCbuddy420

Heats only reaching 80° lights on. Just cracked window so that should lower it considerably since I'm in SD.

Ok thanks. The good about mine currently is that mine doesn't have to be centered. But I'll definitely check it out.
