Hey guys,
so for some reason I thought it'd be a good idea to slap a 3rd plant under a TS1000, all are popping up nicely and all, but I'm thinking I may end up needing more light.
Like double more. Or at least TS 600 more.
I know a second TS 1000 would be just easy to go with, but what about SP150? Or some other brand light to go along? (cheaper the better atm)

Let me know what you think!

ps. pics day 6 of RQS Sherbert Queen auto under TS1000, 100% @ 24" (60cm), 24/7 cycle
If you have any notes on them too, I'm all ears :smokeit:

@theBroGro :welcome:Welcome to AFN:welcome: The Mars TS1000 at 18 inches provides about 650 PPFd average over a 2ft. x 2ft. space.

This will provide about 42 DLI over 18 hours.

This is a sufficient amount of DLI for a good harvest for 4 sq. ft.

I generally allow 4 sq. ft. per plant in my grow space. You might squeeze 2 plants in that but three is not going to work well. So yes you need some more light.

I would wait until I could afford a good light that works for the entire space because buying a lessor light only solves the immediate problem and you will want more in the near future.

:goodluck:

Thank you! I found a good deal on Maxsisun MF1000, EDIT: So maybe that or even stronger something. Let's see. Thanks anyway!
