Hi.Bro,, it was a totally stupid mistake on my part bro,, this is my first ever grow so not very knowledgeable on it,,, I thought 2000watt ment it out out 2000watts,, but after.being pointed in the right direction.it only pulls 200watts from the wall,,, so bro as they say you learn something new every day,,,, I've order an other sf2000 and an sf4000,, but another problem bro,, the or I especially of the units have doubled over the past month,,, I paid £270 British pounds for the sf2000 now the company are asking for £500 British pounds ,,, so I'm having an email war at the moment with the company ,trying to get an package deal for the other 2 lights ,, so hope fully they come.soon, so I think that should solve the problem,,, do you think that is enough light, 2xsf2000 and an sf4000 is that enough light bro???? Today is the start of week 2,, going to clean the system out ,, get greasy water and nutrients into it,, I will send you pics of the progress so far,, sorry I'm not sure the price conversion for UK pound to us dollar ,,,,

No one does leds here much, i jyst use the normal or local grow shops and seed banks. Like i could try to get some exotic strain few have and the best lights and the best gear or i could just be average and get high as fuck. £500 for a light, could have had two and a half cmhs for that - can you get a refund maybe.

I would take your time get the led sorted and look around at the different lights and grows.

Isnt there a big grow shop and seed bank close by who can help as well?

I was gona say ask the shop owner if you can try your light say if it works you will buy the timer but sounds rough where you live if police watch the shops. I use mine quite hapoily always when im passing through a major city too, cool places to hang out maybe score some lical home grown lol.

Can I mix the light ,,, say Led, high s,,,, my friend has loads of spare lights will.a just throw them all in the tent

yes you can. I am using LED's, CMH and HPS all in a 1.2x1.2m tent. Mind you, I am growing in coco, but as long as your lights are synced, can't imagine you would have an issue...other than light heights

I'm using this nutrient regiment, took it straight from cocoforcannabis.com works good for me, CALiMAGic, FloraMicro, FloraGro FloraBloom and I'm adding hydroguard and Yucca extract. Haven't had any problems with burning or anything but I'm growing in cococoir not hydro.

Had to do some conversions to figure out how big your tent is in feet lol I'm in the states. That is not much light if you plan on filling the space with plants even if you get another light, people usually say you need 35 watts of light per sq foot even up to 50 depending on quality of light. That sf2000 isnt actually 2000 watts and the amount of power it is actually pulling is what you need to go by, according to the info on amazon it draws roughly 200 watts. 2m is 6.56166ft and 1.5m is 4.9166ft. 6.56166 x 4.9166 = 32.261sqft x 35 watts each 1,129.137 actual watts recommended for good LED lights. If you add another one of those lights you will be just over 1/3rd the recommended amount of light, lights that actually drew that much power could be great for it.

If it is using a meanwell ELG 240 - 48A driver, then a normal wallplug timer should do the job. Do you have picture showing how you connected timer to light? Really do not understand you comment about timer not working. Sometimes a picture can show details that posters are not explaining clearly.
