You don't have enough light.
That light is only 150w.........you really need about 270w for your space.
You'd be better buying the ts2000........it's 300w.

A little help...take a couple of hours everyday to read the forum threads, watch some instruction videos on youtube, read a grow book. With the exception of some basic instinct of growing plants, everything I know about farming cannabis was learned just by reading and watching. Best of luck to you and yours. :peace:

The brighter the light...the better the buzz

I have the tsw2000 in a 4x4...it’s not enough. Basically I need two tsl2000’s and you need one tsw2000. I can’t put anything in the last foot, not enough light at the edges.

If your worried about coverage and don't want to spend too much, there are plenty of e27 bulbs that will fit the bill as supplemental lights for like $10-15.

That being said, I know someone with a mars hydro TS 1000 in a 80x80x160 tent. Ended up with over half a pound out of it with three small autos.

Also look on facebook market place, if you are short on funds consider hid. You can probably find a decent cmh light and go grab a phillips 4.2k bulb for the whole grow. For your tent check out topogrow on amazon they are pretty cheap and I was pretty impressed with my 8x4. If you need cheap seeds also check out Nirvana seed shop. I got 20 feminized seeds for about $90. They doubled my order on my first crypto purchase. My germination rate was 9/10. Which so far I have been really pleased. Depending where you live the hid will supply heat for your tent. During veg or atleast seedling stage and early veg you could probably get by with just a small fan stuck on an exhaust port for air circulation. Might need a humidifier or dehumidifier. I needed one for winter and the other when its started tonget warm out.
