I have a 1000w Mars hydro light in a 2x2 tent flowering currently and would like to continue to veg another plant I have to bring outside when temp warm and sunlight is longer I don’t have space for another tent or I would have bought one looking for a way to just continue veg for a couple hours will the lights are off without stretching or messing up the plant to much it looks healthy....also I only planned to grow one plant but this one sprouted in the same pot not sure how pulled out and replanted

If I pull the plant out the tent during the day will that continue veg? It won’t but under direct sunlight but some shaded light because of the direction of the window

It's best to use 3 x 15w Philip's bulbs
One for each plant ( only 45 Watts but give you great results)
I would top the plants and hang the bulb in the middle 2" above the plants ( should cover 6" x 6")

That will work really well, should beable to cut the plastic caps off with a hack saw (shown in the video) gives the plants more light.
I would hang the bulbs on chain so you can adjust the height, each bulb should cover a 6"x 6" canopy, I would also top the plants in early veg, as the lights best for short bushy plants.
