1 led light or 2 for autoflowers

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is well. Ok I have 4 autoflowers inside a 32x32x60 tent. I have them in ocean forest soil in 2 gallon smart pots. I have 2 marshydro 300 watt led lights which is about 140 actual watts.. So I was wanting to know if 1 led light would be enough for the autos or should I use both?

Im interested in this!

both i use 1 of those LEDS for 1 plant

I had 90w of shitty LED light on two plants in 5 gal from seed in 24x30"... not enough light is an understatement. I highly recommend both.

I don't know anything about autos but all I can say is the more light the better !

Basically, when you start to flower you should be using almost double the light for flowering plants. With HID a 200w veg will want a 400w flower.

However, if your led is more than the plant can effectively use, then it should use the rest during flowering when it needs more. You can mitigate some of the light intensity by raising it during veg if they become stunted.

I plan to run a few T5s during flower.

what is everyones thoughts about vegging with a led. Then flowering with a hps. Would that stress a plant or would it work?

I veg with led 32w and flower with a 600w hps and it works great.
