    You have two 150w LEDs, marketed shamelessly as 1500w replacements and I don't think they will be enough for a 1.5mx1.5m grow area (unless I've mistunderstood the size of your tent)



    Welcome back to the forum gxkon, always great to get back to growing hey

    That's disappointing. The paper work said they are good for 3x3. so I figured 2 would get it. As long as I can pull 4 or 5 zips dry out of the tent I will be content for now. I have access to 1000 hps but don't want to run up my power bill lol. can I even run a 1k hps in a 5x5 tent?

    I've ran 1kw hps in 4'x4'. Wasn't a good environment, too cold, and it didn't do that much better than 600w hps. That was when leccy was a lot cheaper, I wouldn't like to use 1kw hps on current prices.

    There's no law that says you have to fill your tent. People will bake 2 loaves in an oven that has room for 6 loaves.

    With yield grows, I have a minimum target of 1oz per square foot. Which is easily achievable ime. Have the 2 lights cover a 3'x3' area close to the middle and treat it like a smaller tent. The plants appreciate not being constricted and you can have a pedestal fan in a corner of the tent for internal air movement.
