I have a 3X3 x5 ft tent I have the spider farm SF 1000 in there and the viper Spectra 1000 in there the pipe inspector is dimmable and so is the spider farm like I'm just wondering those two lights is too much I was trying to get a better yield so I thought maybe the better lights would make a difference this is my first time using the combo together before this I substituted the spider farm light for a similar viper spectrum light of less wattage just wondering if this will help or will it be a problem ones a blurple light the other ones Samsung LED light from spider farm cuz at one point I want to turn both dimmers all the way up I have clones right now that are rooting in their first Solo cup with dirt I was successful with my other girls but I'm just wondering what could happen if anybody has any tips

Vegging plants don't need a whole lot of light. Just enough to prevent them from stretching. They definitely look too hot.

Idk what the wattage of the lights are?

Your area is 9 square feet, at the recommended 50w per square foot gives you 400/450w to max it out.

I'm going to be doing 12 plans so you think I should turn off the viper spectra lite it's really like a 600 watt light that gives off a thousand Watts something like that so you think I should take that light out I'm going to take a better picture and put it up because I don't have to turn the light all the way up right now I have it on bloom 10% veg 25 30%. I was going to keep that there or maybe just turn off the bloom altogether keep the blue light on and the spider fall light but if y'all think I should just go with the spider farm like I will I just want to get as much yield and even though they don't need light now as you say when I get them a little bit older would I be able to put the light on then or do I have to acclimate them now to that light being I want to use it just looking for other examples

You dont have enough 350 watts in a 3x3.
300 watts minimum with a high end grow light. Hlg, growers choice, chill led, mars hydro FC-SERIES

Multiply your grow space and divide that by lights wattage. 3x3=9 200÷9=22 watts a sqft you want a minimum of 30 max of 70. I prefer 40 to 45 from quantum or leds 50 to 60 watts per sqft from blurples, unless the blurple is a blackdog

I'd flip em to flower now if your gonna cram 12 in there, that's gonna be a nightmare to water and care for them.

12 healthy plants aren't going to fit in a 3x3 especially with extra things like that humidifier in there. As a new grower I'd suggest keeping half of the healthiest plants as they start to fill out the tent.
