    That light looks almost identical to my lights, anyways my area is a bit larger than your tent and I am growing 2 NL auto's they got tall and bushy and had to redesign the bench in mid-grow or they would have hit the lights at 60" tall before I super cropped them.

      How old is the plant right now, or haven’t you started yet.

    Guideline is 35-50 true watts per sq foot. I'm guessing the 300w Galaxy lights draw 180w or so at the wall. 360 true watts is just about max lighting for your space. Make sure you check the minimum distance between those LEDs and the canopy. You need the pot, the plant and the light distance to come in at 5'. You may need to LST, scog or super crop to keep plant height down. 5' high is doable but tight if the strain stretches a lot.

        Hi, i've got a 1.2mx1.2mx2m tent, and a Budmaster 4 LED lightsource.
        i find that the Budmaster is slightly too small for my tent, recommended is 80x80x200cm apparently, roughly the same dimensions as your tent.

        i've got 4 plants in there atm, but one has been in since late Jan and is big.
        big but slow to mature, and i suspect its either light limited or by the size of my RDWC buckets.

        that said, as she grows taller i've seen the biggest plant undergo light burn from growing too close to the light (had to bring the tallest branches/colas down with plant ties.
        the other 3 are about 20 cm shorter and are almost ready for harvest.

        I've had to raise my light to near top of the tent to accomodate the ladies, but i suppose if your plants are smallish still, the extra light would benefit them while in vegetative state.

        as Sheesh said, you'll want to keep them shortish by LST if wanting to use both lights.

          Here's a picture of my 2 northen light autos at 10 weeks, my grow area is 44" wide x 26" deep by 78" tall. My light reqiures a minimum of 24" - 40" in flower stage. The picture shows the 2 plants at about 52" and that is after 2 subsequent supercroppings on the same main branches. Your lights look to be a bit more powerful at 130 watts vs 105 watts for mine.
