Just ordered another light, would it be damaging to my plants if I installed it? Or should I wait for my next grow?
Too early to prune?

It won't damage them at all

I'll have 2 of these in a 24x48x60, I hope that is a sufficient amount of light

65 bucks, runs around 110-130 watts per unit. Not sure if that's specific to dual power or not though

How big is your grow tent?

You’re going to want at least 400w of blurple led for that 2x4 imo.
I don't use a grow tent I feel it's a waste of money for such a small amount of space like 200$ for a 3x3ft tent lol
I use a bedroom it is 10x10ft and 7 ft tall I only use 10x3ft

how to do you have your lights set up?
Tents aren’t always necessary but theyre definitely not a waste because the reflective walls increase par efficiency.
You’re going to lose some light if you don’t have any walls up or something.
And yeah the blurples arnt that good I have 2 215w ones I use for seedlings
I have them set up 2 on each side like this
