Do you think I have these too tight together or that I'll be okay also do you think I should throw a net up?? I did Super crop a little bit when they were a little bit smaller and did a little bit of topping..

If these haven't been flipped yet they are gonna get a lot taller. It's going to be very tight in there no matter what you do; the bottom half of your plants will be shaded under heavy canopy. Would probably be a good idea to tie the tall colas down. Consider adding another panel or side lighting.

Just grow outdoors. Oh that's right only white businessmen, mostly pedophiles, are allowed to do that

I added for Led bar lights on each post show four corners of the tent and they're low-wattage I added them just to hit the unders and sides of the plant the one above it is a 1000 W LED full spec.. and the sidebars I think are 40 watt each full spec.. I'm just worried about them being too crowded and not producing correctly or going to tall and me not having enough room

Best garden on the site. Make sure you got air flow through that slut and you are perfect!!!! You may have to prune some bottoms in 2 weeks but fuck it. Awesome garden!!!!

Oughta be a real nice pull with side lighting. Too crowded? Maybe..but not much you can do except add supplemental lighting as/if temps allow. Think you'll be ok vertically at least...a little too late to bother with scrog net; just keep pinching to try & even the canopy. Stems are going to get too woody for LST-ing very soon.

You need to get a lot more light in there asap. That led is not 1000 watts . it is probably around 250 watts if that . if you wanna have a good harvest you need to upgrade immediately . I'd get a 400 or 600 watt hps in there today . Im not trying to be a jerk but that lil led isn't gonna flower those plants properly

Yes they lie. It's just marketing nonsense. They call it 1000 watts because they claim it replaces a 1000 watt HID. It doesn't. It doesn't even come close. Look at the actual specs for the light. It will show how many actual watts it's using.
Yes. It's marketing mumbo-jumbo. For true wattage, you need to know the actual watts being drawn from the wall, not the "this LED is *equivalent* to 1000W" marketing label.

I bought a 1000w equivalent LED light for my current grow. It has an actual wattage of 223w and is suggested to replace a 400w HPS. If they wanted to lie they would've said it can replace a 1000w HPS bulb. I bought my light knowing that it wasn't 1000w though. I planned my measurements around 223w not 1000w.

Icic everything I've done this year has been first time for everything so I'm still learning when I bought the light I just figured a thousand sounded good for what I was doing I really didn't have specs or anything down pat I just kind of jumped in and started

You're fine. You have plants growing and you're learning. Just remember that much of what is stated regarding cannabis growing products is just marketing and is not necessarily the truth. You have to be diligent because there are many companies out there that will claim anything to sell you their products regardless of whether it's true or not.
