Will 2x1000 watts be too much for UC 6xl?l

[gadgetsmoke]

Hello bad ass farmers, will 2000 watts be too much for a Under Current 6xl in a GL145l growlab?

The UC site says 2x600

I'm a newb so I appreciate all input

if you can keep it cool i dont see how it could hurt.

what jake said! 2 x 600 is just a minimum recommendation

Thanks for the advice Jake and motherlode!

whats the footprint of that tent? you could always have them increase the centers a bit on your UC and scrog the shit out of those plants to get a full 4 x 8 canopy, if you have the room. either way you could kill it with that setup.

divide the sq ft total of uc area by wattage and thatll give u ur watts per sq ft.. it should be over 50 wts per sq ft of grow space for an optimal grow.. hope that helps..

I use 2 x 1000 watt vertical with my under current 6.... i hang them down the centers in cool tubes in the middle of each set of 4 so 2 plants get the light from both sides and have a hurricane inline fan exhausting both of them to keep it cool in the tent.

I know this sounds dumb,but what does keeping my res " topped off at all times" exactly mean, sorry for the dumb question man:damnhippie:

 

[southstreets]
