Okay first thank all of you that responded to my last thread. I really want some help with this. I have a 5x3 tent with a Phlizon 600W and a new Viparspectra P600 that has I think 150w actual rating. Could I put both of them in this tent without having to just buy an expensive new larger led ? If a new one what would you recommend in LED.

Going to need at minimum 450 real watts from the wall. It'll veg but will more then likely not be enough for a nice flowering period.

5x3 = 15 sq ft
40-50w per sq ft is 600-750w total of LEDS ( I recommend at least 40w /sq ft with blurples)
30w per sq ft with high quality LED would be 450 watts

this is where you should start, so if those are each 150w, you have a total of 300w. That means you will need double the light to cover that area

Spend the money on a good light. That's the one thing you shouldn't cheap out on. You could DIY with everything and as long as it grows the light is what will make the plant

That is the truth. If you cant afford led for that sq/ft, just get a cheap hid.
Good light and air movement are the most important things.
