Led lights and watt size yield
So I use spider farmer lights and I have a se5000 480w light. I use it in a 4x4 tent to flower.
Now I see a se1000w and the size of bud area goes up to 5x5?
mom getting a 10x10 tent and was looking to add some bigger lights but seems like led light do t really come in area coverage that big.
long I know- so do I need to go up in watts (se 480w- se 1000w) to get bigger yield (adding co2) or will more watts just equal more bud?
Thanks for the time!

In a 10x10 tent, you're gonna want multiple smaller lights, instead of one big one.
That will give you a more even light spread, without a massive hot spot in the middle.
Yes, more light equals more bud, to a point. Seems it's easy to overdo it with the newer/ better LEDs.
Most LEDs are good at 30-40 watts/ sqft. Some cheaper Ebay/ Amazon lights may need more, but the better ones run 30-40.

RbtAsq has jumped from HID to LED recently and the LED's he decided on are great lights according the spec's and his results that he doesnt share often enough. I just dropped a bundle on 3 lights to cover a 4 X 8 area and I kind regret not going with 6 SF 1000 watt lights to cover the area.

I like 40+ watts per sq foot and I can go up to 53 if I need it and I have not so far even with co2. I have only used real C02 once and at 1500 ppm with 90° F temps in the room I have foxtails. I used the C02 bags once and had good luck so I added C02 and an auto pilot, I am still on the fence with that.

Welcome to the portal COD, RbtAsq has you covered, curious what does the 1000 watts draw at the wall?

you won't benefit from 1000w led in a 4x4 or 5x5 without controlling CO²
what you need for your 10x10 is 2 SF4000 or 2 SE5000 or 2 SE7000 if you plan to go with spider farmer led brand.0 0 0 0 0 0 0
