Lighting 4x4 tent w/ 4 autocobs + ??

[South Detroit]

Greetings!
Currently running a 3x3’ with 4 55w autocobs.
I just bought a 4x4’ tent and am thinking I’ll bump up the lights a bit. I wrote BigSm0 a few weeks ago, but no answer and he seems to have disappeared from the forums lately...

if I was to add MarsHydro, what would people recommend?

The SP3000 covers a 2x5 area, your moving from 9 sqft to 16, your wattage should be around 450-500w in that space. That would put you right about 500w.
@Marshydro thoughts?

Edit: in your 3x3, you were right at 25w per sqft. That's about the right #s watts per sqft.

Thanks @Arthur , shouting me out :smoking:

Hey @South Detroit , so the 4'x4' tent is a new room, and you won't put these 4 cobs to this tent, right?
To get decent results, should keep 30-50w/sqft.

In the 4'x4' area, I think the first choice is 2 units SP 3000 lights, the second is 2 TSL 2000 lights.
SP 3000, 300w, with 952pcs Samsung and Osram diodes, the coverage is for 2'x5' flower and 3'x5' veg stage
TSL 2000, 300w, with 684pcs Epistar diodes, the coverage is for 2'x4' bloom and 3'x5' veg.

The new Autocobs are 65 w. I use 5 Autocobs in my 4x4, which is enough light. My total pull from the wall is 325 watts. Ideally, I could use a 6th in flower.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I’m just upgrading to the larger tent, simply no room for both I’m afraid. Just looking for a little more light to go with the 4 autocobs (220 watt total) I already have.
Thanks for the input!

Just add one more Autocob. Solved. I’m hoping BigSm0
will offer Black Friday deals.

Thanks @BCBudlady I may go with a cob or two more, just looking at options. Wondered if a different light’s slightly different spectrum would be beneficial as well. Cheers.

@Marshydro I guess I wasn’t particularly clear... I am changing my tent from 3x3 to 4x4, not adding a second tent. With the 4 (55 w 3500k) autocobs I already have, is there a MarsHydro product you would suggest adding to help fill the space?
