It's not 2000 watts. and it's not near enough light for an 8x4.
Is it enough to grow a few I was planning on getting another one soon
Okay I’ll add check that out thanks it’s a auto flower though and should I use both when I get it since it’s a big tent

It's only 239 watts. It's more a light for a 2x2.

He'd need 2 600 watters.
So I definitely messed up on the light I’ll get two more here soon

I wouldn't buy blurple.

Ya, but LED isn't cheap. What's your budget? If it's low, HID is the best and cheapest way to go.
I’d exactly the budget to be honest like $200 for each maybe if that’s possible I want something that can work for the whole grow

Get a couple HID lights. 2 600 watters minimum. Or 2 1000 watters if you wanna go balls out.
And send that blurple back.
I was going to send it back lol haven’t set it up or anything glad I didn’t

You can do it on the cheap with HPS as suggested
If you want to use current LED technology it is going to cost quite a bit more.

I don't own any HID lights, and the guy I would've asked isn't here anymore. I've heard people say the Vivosun and Ipower are fine for cheaper HID lights. All I have are LED and CMH.
