I have a giant grow area but not really the light to make it work so I'm considering using this old deep freezer. I believe it's about four foot deep, but I have two lights 300 watt led and 1000 watt led. I'm afraid the 1000 will nuke em and the 300 wont be enough. Opinions?

Buy better light and use the freezer to store your jars.

I thought 1000 would cover the area which is about 4 x8 I was wrong lol
If its really 1000w it might. If its a chinese blurple that they lie and call 1000w when its really 150w then not even close. What kind do you have?

Haven't seen a true 1000w led on the market yet. Likely about 300w at best.

Sounds like a wattage miss interpreted. The wattage on the unit is not likely what your output is. You should get a light meter to read the actual # being absorbed by each part of the plant grow area. Also, lighting with veg and bloom options are best as they also can combine for full spectrum. I had a 1200 watt ufo light full spectrum. Swapped for 600 watt led with options and my production almost went up 50%. Tri’s better also in long run.
I agree the freezer can be used for curing as controlling the temps should be easier. Sealed for lighting also. Your light height may also not be adequate for the strain. Not all strains like standard 18inch spacing. Some like and need more heat from the light. Others can wilt with stress from the proximity to the light. My kushminst want a light to reach for, my 9lb hammer wants a close light and added warmth.

You'd want 2 of those 1000W equivalent lights for a 4 x 8 floor area.

Edit: You can also sell the freezer and buy a tent.
Depends on what equivalent means. A 650w HLG is probably equivalent to 1000w hps.
A Chinese blurple that calls itself 1000w that replaces a 400w and is really 200w won't come close.
