2 gavita 600+lep. 2x lep for veg. Strain will be northern lights. Would I be bettered running 1x 600 and 2 lep. 55w sq ft is not to crazy is it? How much headroom would you need from top of canopy? 30w sqft doesn't seem like much. That would be 600+ 2lep. Doesn't seem like good coverage. But 2 600 + lep could. Did you think I was thinking 1ks? I am trying to sell my lights to get flex 750's.
2- 1000w gav pros in a 5x5 tent is unrealistic, very unrealistic.
I don't use tents or gav's but a std. 1000 lite gives ya a 4x4 footprint.
see the issue your up against with 2000w?
ok, just read the last post, you want two 600w
a 1000w of heat is a lot in a 5' tent, so 1200w, again you may have issues.
personally a 600w sounds much more doable.
but again I don't do tents...
maybe someone will drop in and help.
IMO... you need to sit down and start reading and learning everything you can.
your 1st post shows you haven't done much of that.
no one's being intentionally bad on ya
but having a bit of fun with ya because 2000w in a 5x5 is a bit much.

Dont use a tent, buy twice as many inline fans as you were planning
I already own the equipment and they are 600w pro units. I failed.to specify that in first post. I can understand the original humor. Can this work with saw 68 degree intake and 10" extraction fan. I also have a 8" intake fan. 2 actually. Was thinking filter in tent to lep to 10" exhaust fan to vent in bedroom door to exhaust heat into hallway. I have central heating And air. Would it baire that much more beneficial to vent outside. Can you make it quiet enough that nobody would here it outside apt. Im on 2nd floor. It's a hyperfan.
As far as spectrum/coverage goes how would the 600 AND 2 lep do. that is 30w psqft. But the lights will be hung little higher. Can I get good coverage out of this?

LEP- Light Emitting Plasma
I was running 2 x 600 gavita prolines in a 6x6 tent with a 6" fan and scrubber extracting and it stayed below 84 in the summer, running lamps at night.
There is no gain to running all these lights in that tent. Run just 1 600 or the LEP. little gains in yield and way more heat issues, it would be unnecessary.

Just got answer to my problems. Selling 600's for 300 each now I can get a flex 6/750 and el1 controller. Perfect now. And I bought this stuff cause I paid so little for it to begin with Granger. I think I seem to get gear at close to cost. Now this will be nice light profile for 5x5.
Ur setting ur self up for failure no one has a prob with a tent but running double the norm amt of light double the heat is stupid not practical... Run one light per 5x5 n just leave the other sitting on the shelf ... Or scrap the tent... Lol... Think I'm not the first to say that..
U seem to be over thinking things in the complete wrong direction... I can't break it all down for ya now but take this advice temperature is number one priority.. Don't run lights u can't cool Extra light is detrimental and will ruin ur grow if u can't keep ur temps in check... Worry bout getting ur environment dialed and everything will be all good... U can't fit enough buds in a 5x5 tent to make 2k worth it also...
Run one light

Run one light
say what??you said you got the answer to you prob
2 posts later 2 days later your still debating... again????
I could see where this was going on the 1st post....
you need to take previous advice and start reading up how to set up your grow in a 5x5 tent.
its not that hard if you've if you've spent any amount of time reading,
you haven't
your expecting others to do it for you.
your not willing to put your personal time into doing the basics *you* need to do.
but you expect others spend their time doing it for you.
there's a big difference between *help me* and *do it for me*

Actually I seen sometimes grow log here who did this with 2 600 + LEP in a 5x5.
One of Herbalizers grows. But everything I read tells me you can't. I have bigger fans than he did and same lights same size tent. So IM kinda trying to ask how he did it. Leaves me thinking it's just an advertisement. So playing devils advocate IM fishing for answers. It boils down to I don't have 240 right now to try it myself. And I have been reading these pages non stop for a long time.
