Second grow. Need advice on light/space

Hey gals and guys…Long time listener, first time caller.

First things first: I’m going to be harvesting my first grow soon, and despite some hiccups, I’m quite proud of how it’s going. Most definitely could be better, but I think we’ll be able to call it a small success regardless. And for that I thank all of you on this forum. It’s been my “Bible” so to speak. Much love and appreciation, albeit quietly.

I will fill out as much of a support ticket as I can, later, but was wondering on thoughts on how many plants one 600w TS Mars Hydro LED could grow with no repercussions? They are from ILGM and they are White Widow Autos. My brother in law and I are going to be making a bigger room than the small tent that came with the light, but if I stick with the one 600w, can I realistically do more than one at a time? Or should I up the ante on the light?

Thanks for the help/info, and here’s to all of our grows being big and plentiful!

When i used to use the mars hydro ts600w i would veg several plant but ultimately flower 1-maybe 2 smaller ones and still had LARFY results…

LARFY results? Don’t know that one. Lol

Fluffy, not full / dense buds as a result of not enough light hitting that area of the plant.

Was thinking a 4x4 “closet” to start. Ceiling height would be 7’.

@OldManRagnarok That’s a good size space to work with.
Two HLG 260 v2 rspec XL lights. Would be a good choice to efficiently light your space to grow with start to finish and produce solid buds. Two will run about seven hundred bucks. They do offer discounts occasionally.

Here’s a definition of the Interweb:

Larf ,” while a fun word to say, is a term some cannabis consumers may not have heard before. It’s a slang word that refers to smaller, immature buds that didn’t quite reach their full potential. Usually these buds are wispy or fluffy little flowers found on the lower branches of cannabis plants.Jul 19, 2017

That light really will only do 1 plant all the way through.
