cant find any info on that light mate whats the actual draw?

 

 found it now this is what they say in their description..  Normally plants grown under LED grow lights require only 30% of feeding in comparison to HPS lighting. In hydroponic systems, the nutrient reservoir will require less topping up. first time I've heard that before.. personally i would return that light if possible and check out @diyleduk or even Mars hydro TS600 would do in there its only rated for a 60x60 but will cover it nicely still but im sure DIYLED is the better option as the one you've got is a cheapo blurple they are a bit out dated now to be fair I have seen some good results on blurples but they are really inefficient compared to the newer QB style LEDs.

Hello

I think a 600w seems a little OTT in that size tent. I think a 400 would be more suitable. See how you get on temps wise. You might need to invest in a intake fan also.

 

 

Best of luck with it

I’ve got some seeds in germination atm, I think I’ll try work with what I have for now, and get myself an intake fan as suggested. Hopefully I’ll get to grips with it , then I can start up grading my kit with my knowledge , cheers for your time mate and I’m sure I’ll check diyleduk in the near future  ( yes was full kit mate )

Be a blurple light youl probs get max 100-120w draw from it as I found from the ones I had.

 

I ended up going on alibaba and getting a pair of meiju 240w qauntum boards

Would this be suitable for 2 plants given the set up mate? Miserydrift

Definitely worth doing aswell aint there cheap on there I got pretty decent deal on my 2 SP150's good lights too so far but for the price you probably could of gone on alibaba and got a nice dimmable QB.

Hi There, i have 2 x Lunar 630 watt LED lights in 2 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 2.0m tents and have found this is the optimum size of tent for that amount of light. I grow in 9 x 18 litre pots in each tent and get a yield every 4 weeks as these 2 tents are for flowering and i have a seperate veg tent of 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0 metres so my flowering period is exactly 8 weeks hence having 2 flowering tents with a yield every 4 weeks and my yield on each tent is 28 ounces of pure, crystalised, stinking OGKZ amazing bud. I managed to get the perfect pheno for a mother plant and the punters cant get enough of it.

My advice is that a 630 Luna in a 1.2 x 1.2 tent is too powerful, you'll end up bleaching the leaves and your plants will be so bushy and leafy that your bottom buds wont see the light of day. If its not too late, either buy a 1.5 x 1.5 tent for the Luna or if your'e sticking with the 1.2's get yourself an Omega Spectre G430 which is perfect for your 1.2 and will give you a yield of 18 to 20 oz per grow.

Hope this helps.
