So I was running a vipra spectra 300watt and 450 watt led... Awesome lights don't need reviews on that. But my 450 watt broke it fell off the hanger and I have 3 plants going will they be good under just the 300watt? Or should I buy another?
 
If it was me I would get additional light in there but maybe others will chime in as well... What is your grow space size?
 
It depends on the true output wattage of your light. It may say 300 watts. However, the actual draw is what the light is putting out. Also, is your light putting out mostly red? Are you in flowering?

I grew excellent weed using a 100 watt led from advanced. This may be a good time to see if you were over lighting. Your 300 might surprise you.

Peace,

JAS

It's a 3x6 closet simple setup with fans etc

It's a vipar spectra reflective series led if I remember it puts out 180+ awesome light no doubt I might just see if your right I might have been over killing I'm not in flower they are only two weeks in to veg.
 
I think you're probably good for about 2x2 or 2x3 of coverage with the one panel, enough for veg. If your plants are decent size in a few weeks you'll want to add more light.

So you would just kinda test the water and see if it's good?
 
Nah, I'd be planning ahead and getting a new panel on the way. You'd probably want 3 or 4 panels in a 3x6. High intensity of light is important to get a good result.
