Still in the process of building my 2x4 grow tent. I brought a 1000w led from ebay (the cheap one)



From the reviews I doubt this is a true 1000w light. I'm thinking of getting another one and putting 2 into the grow room. My question is "If I use 2 of these lights do I have to place the lights a little higher vs using 1?"

I plan to grow 4 critical mass plants in this 2x4 tent SCROG

Any tips are welcome :)

these are LED lights .......u just need to give about 4inches of room from the top of the plant to the top of the light (once it is all done streching and opening flower sites)
as for the growth and opening up u want to leave about foot of room to let the plant grow up into

depending on the lens of the LED u are looking a 32 to 44 inches of good growable room

Do you think using 2 of these in a 2x4 tent will be a problem?

no it will be a massive overkill factor

the par rating will be maxed out ........the only possible issuse is the heat it makes with 2 in 2x4 u might need to up the cfms so u cycle the air every 1 min to 30 secs using a cool intake temp of say 68f
