I’ve already Got a 300w LED (actual watts) in my 1.2x1.2x2m tent + a mars hydro ts1000(150w) that’s getting put in tomorrow.. if there’s room I was thinking of also adding my 600w HPS With an aircooled reflector I’n there too so there’d be 1050w in total, would this be too much..heat wise I mean? I’ve got a 6inch extraction fan in ther an a rvk fan with a diffuseair pulling fresh air into the tent..

560 watts of LED would be the max I would want in that space (35 watts per sqft). You have 16 sqft.

The LED you have on their own is worth 28 watts per sqft, good for veg, could flower but a little bit more would be needed to get into the best place.

A 600 watt HPS is good for about a 3x3 area, would be spread a little thin in a 4x4. A 1000 watt SE HPS is good for a 4x4.

cheers for the info it’s a massive help! I’ve got a mars hydro ts1000 coming tomorrow (cheap I know) but would that be enough then with my 300w telos led?
