90watt for Veg and 120watt for flower?

[munchie725]

I have a 2ftx2ftx4ft grow tent I'm using for veg and then I plan on moving them to a 31inx31inx63in grow tent. I have a 90watt grow light and a 120watt grow light. Will they be enough for their respective tents or should I keep the 120watt in the veg tent and get a 240watt for the flowering tent.

Edit: off topic but I'll ask here to not have to make another thread. What size pots should I use for four plants in each tent?

Probably get a better answer if you post the light and specs

i did full grows with 60W but i got only 90g at the end.soo it will work but your gain is limited with the lamp.you should expect a gram or 2 for every watt your lamp makes.

Honestly, I'd be happy with that since after my first harvest, I should have another one every two months because I'm going to veg 4 while the other 4 flower.

thats a great plan.are you doing from clones? seeds can somethimes fuck with the timing you end up cutting early somethimes or vegging too long

120W do scale small for flowering in a 31inx31in tent, you usually want 250W to 300W led panel to have an even light coverage and light dispersion as well as enough power for flowering an area that size.

pots size and amount will depend of your growing method(s).

More plant, shorter veg, smaller pots or less plants and longer veg and bigger pots

I think 90W of LED is plenty for a 2x2 veg tent. For flower, I want a minimum of 25W per square foot of footprint, and ideally would like 35 or more. You have 18, so I'd add light, either replacing the 200W fixture, or adding a fixture, if you can make the geometry work.

Regarding your pot size question, I think 3 gals would be plenty. You could veg in 1 gals and transplant to threes when you move them to the flower tent.

I have an AC Infinity T22 light in a 2x2x6 Spider Farmer tent that flowers well at 60%. It's rated at 130 watts, IIRC. Plants usually show light stress when it's at 50%. I suspect reflectance off the sides of a small, square tent increases the effectiveness of the light.
