Question for you, i just got a 400wcmh gave to me do you think it would be too much with the 1600w of led already in the tent? Tent is 2x4x6

Yeah man more light is never a bad thing. Try to find a ppfd rating for those lights and adjust heights accordingly. Don't forget about overlap too because the light footprint will overlap. Your plants will tell you what they need but in that small of a space like wawashell said watch for heat because that's a pretty small tent and those lights can make things hot in there.

An example: in my tent (also 2x4x6) I had 2 AutoCobs and a 450w Full Spec LED. With the led on temps jumped considerably. So much so I ended up just removing it completely. But this winter I will end up putting it back in, spring through mid-fall is just to warm to use the COBs and LED. I may just get another Cob in there, and utilize the other leds else where (undecided as of now).

Yeah i have an ac infinity t6 which does well with temps. I don't have a bulb for it yet which costs $80, so i will probably finish this grow out then maybe try it. The girs have doubled in 2 days! [HASHTAG]#love[/HASHTAG] megacrop

~73°F lights off, 79°F lights on
~50-60%RH
-No water
-No nutes
-18/6 light cycle
-Light distance 20 in

Well ladies and gentlemen we have some nugs forming. The girls seemed to be doubling in nug size every two days or so. Widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] and zkittlez are starting to look like they will be solid yielders for sure. The bugs have not even fully formed yet on the widow and I can already tell you that they look absolutely beautiful. The photo I attached doesn't even do them justice. The widows have a very very unique smell, nothing like the zkittlez which has her own beautiful aroma. I think the switch to full flower nutes next feed, probably tomorrow, will do the girls some good and I bet those buds will get even bigger by then. I'm a happy camper and I know I'm ready to see how these girls finish up. I'm a lot bit elevated right now so I'm rambling. Well til tomorrow!

Only about 11 inches tall, highest points are a little bit above that. Overall canopy height is right at 11-12 in from dirt, but the colas are about 7 in or so a piece to give you an idea of how flattened I made these lol legit my main stems are at less than a 45° angle from the dirt so they are bent like none other

Nice setup dude. Maybe put the messed up light in the middle and the cmh and led on outside so they can overlap and make up for that burned out one. Just a suggestion. Take it or leave it! Might be really lacking in light on the edge with the burned out diodes
