I have 2 grow tents (4x4 & 2x2). The smaller tent has 2 600 W LED lights; the larger tent has 2 1200 W LED lights. Both tents are maintained @ 72* F with humidity 35-40%. Compared to the grow timing I've read about, my plants take at least 1/3 more time to mature! Any suggestions?

Small tent has 2 600 W, but the tent is 2x4, about 5' tall. The 4x4 has 2 1200 W. I try to keep lights 20" from the plants, but when I can't, I turn the lights to 1/2 power. I've had fans to circulate air in the tents, but have just installed exhaust fans to get some fresh air inside. During the summer I have left the tents open.

your lights aren't 600W and 1200W but much less most prolly some shadowy brand that give misleading model name to their lights, there's many of that kind ...

improper watering pratice could be the reasons for slow growth, there's some others.

also give your lights models name it will make things easier your confusing the actual watt they use with something else.

in a 2x4 you will usually have 200w to 450W

in a 4x4 500w to 1000W and that's with co2

there's no 600w model where you can have 2 in a 2x4 and no 1200w models where you can have two in a 4x4
