2 430w in 4' x 4' space

[YYZ Skinhead]

People who veg in a space this small, is 2 430w overkill? It is an open closet with a portable AC in front of it. I added an extra 430w to the 430w that was already in there because I happened to have another one that I dug out and because there was some etiolation of the sprout stems.

no, not overkill at all, im running 2 600's in a 5x3 you will just get rock hard nuggs is all.

Good to know. They seem to be getting bigger, faster since I installed the extra 430w.

I run 2 600's in a 4x4 for flower

Get nugs that will put your eye if ya ain't careful

Dman and Duck, props for the info. I installed the extra 430 and the sprouts are growing like, uh, weeds.

I have found that I need to feed heavier when running a high number of lumens

I run 1000 in that size. It's all good.

I am running a 600W in a space about 2 x 4. A single 400W in a 4 x 4 space is underlit. If you can keep it cool, the extra lumens should really make a big difference.

Sheesh, I wish I had tried this before. Plump green leaves and no stem etiolation.
