    How big is your tent?

    Just as a point of reference, I have a 180 watt (wall draw) LED and mine is spec'd to be used in a 80x80 cm tent at most.

    Go for it man like the others have said if your tent or whatever your growing in can handle it, I haven’t got that much experience but at least bend the main stems over next time that should keep her down a bit and when u add the bulbs obviously keep an eye on ur temps but also the humidity as I added a 300w dual spec cfl in my growdrobe and it took the humidity down quite a bit, that could just be coz it’s a big bastard though lol, good luck on your grow m8
