Can I use two mars hydro ts600 with a 2x2 coverage area in a 4x4 and have adequate lighting situations or should I go with the ts1000.
Hey man I'll try to help me best. Lots of people say to go with 30w/sqft. That's actual draw from wall. Are youu looking to light up the 4x4 totally or a 2x2 section?
2x2 section: 120W
4x4 section needs: 480W
TS-600 Power draw:100W±5%@AC120V
TS-1000 draw:150W
Hope that helps!
A single 600w HPS costs $160 and will produce over a pound.You'd need like 5x TS600 or 4xTS1000 and you'd be over your watts. BUT 4 or 5 lights isn't cheap.
If the exhaust blows the heat outdoors it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, depending on your climate, growing in the summer can get expensive. I shut down in May and start again in September.I'd be willing to try HPS but I think i'd have a lot of heat problems.
You're gifted cloned is doing really well btw...good job :)I grow in my closet w/out ventilation lol. Just wouldn't work for me. here are my ladies right now!

They look great. Imho you need to get that closet vented. Even LED lights will put out too much heat. Also the excess humidity promotes mold and bugs.I grow in my closet w/out ventilation lol. Just wouldn't work for me. here are my ladies right now!

Yes in the box I been vegging under blurple lights for about 3weeks now. But I wanna hook my ts600s up I wanted to use them for flower on my 3 girls. Just wondering if it will do the job. I’m getting more technical on my next round!Do you have 2 TS 600 right now?

You have any type of airflow at all.Yeah i've gotta figure something out. ATM i'm at 75Rh and 80F. For venting atm I keep my closet door open for a few hours a day.
I think you'll be fine with the two ts600 but also keep the blurple in there as well it wont hurt. You could probably get a 240W QB next and be decent for coverage for the whole tent.
Mars hydro has a QB series as well as viparspecta I like those 2 brands definitely gonna check out the Qb talked to several ppl they swear by them. Also looked into photo booth DIY strips probably try that after a few successful runs when things are dialed inwill the mixed spectrums cause any mutation lol? That is another concern
I agree that closet isn’t a good grow spot. Find somewhere you can set up a tent, you’ll be much happier, and safer.They look great. Imho you need to get that closet vented. Even LED lights will put out too much heat. Also the excess humidity promotes mold and bugs.
