    Starting a flowering tent

    Hi everyone. Haven't posted in a while, been busy growing.

    To my question:
    I want to set up a separate flowering tent for my photoperiod plants.
    My current set up has three 300 w equivalent LEDs for a total of 900w.

    I'm trying to figure out if I my flowering tent needs to have the same output or if I can go higher. I was thinking of getting two 600 w equivalent LEDs for my flowering tent for a total of 1200w. Would this be a problem for the plants or should I stay at 900w?
    I'm hoping by having a separate flower tent I can have more light for fatter buds.
    Thanks!

    Yes, the veg tent can be 1/2 that of the flower tent-the amount of heat and distance from the LED available will be a determining factor, as larger LED's require a great distance than smaller LED's.
    I run a combo of LED's as follows- smaller veg tent 390 LED watts (@82f) and larger "flower" tent @ 930 LED watts (@ 78f).
    It's all bullshit - until you smoke it!

        Get a light more on the red side for flowering - like the 600 Watt G8.

          What size tent do you have now and what size tent are you going to set up? I just harvested 10oz. in a 3x3 using 3-300w leds 2-GalaxyHydro and 1-viparspectra. I veg in a 2x4x8 closet with the 600w viparspectra using only the veg switch so I figure I'm pulling 136w from the wall for veg and 405w for flower. I can veg 4 plants in my veg space and as long as I time it right they are ready to move to the flower tent 1 week after harvest.
          Failure is an opportunity for improvement!!

            You can absolutely use more lighting in your flowing tent. It will only positively effect your plants

              Thanks again for the responses.
              I'm using a 48" x 24" x 72" tent. the new tent will be the same exact size.
              I currently have 2 skunks getting pretty large in veg. In the same tent I have an LST'ed auto OG Kush that is about 2-3 weeks away from being harvested.
              there is also a small clone of the skunk tucked away in a corner, so I'm really running out of room. All the plants are in 4 gallon smart pots.
              As soon as the new tent arrives I'm moving those skunks into flowering and will start rubbing my hands together in anticipation.
