Advice on set up

**walshy** · 23-10-16, 06:14 PM

Hi all
Sorry it's been a while since I last posted on here but as normal life is quite busy
Any how , I need a little advice on some kit on how best to get the best out of it
I have got gifted to me ...... 2x1000w LEDs ....2x600w LEDs 2x400w LEDs ..... 2x tents 120 x 120 and one small tent for cuttings .... All the bits to go in the tents , basically cheep filter and fans and shed loads of nutes most of which I have never used before , plus a flood and drain system that houses far to many plants each one can hold 8 plants and there is two of them , but I won't be using these as I have my auto pot system that I'm happy with
I have never used LEDs before and wondered if I need to change the way I do things to compensate , I am currently using a 600w hps on 3plants but thinking of popping a 400w led in there to boost it a bit , but for a new tent thinking of using 2x 600w for another 3 plants .......
So if any one can shed a littl light on what I can do for the best please shout out

Well I've just stuck the 400w led in with my 600w hps to give it a boost , dunno if it will help but the plants are going good with out it so can't do to much harm I suppose

The only thing i read some where is to be careful of having the HPS near the LED, something to do with the led stris and high heat, dont know if its true Walshy but I thought I would pass it on just in case :-)
