    I just ordered a 3X2 grow tent along with a 600 watt HPS grow light. After I ordered this I was wondering if this light was overkill for my small grow tent. What kind of light is recommended for this size tent?

    600 is fine if you can cool it enough..400 is good too but the more light the better

    Thanks TinTizzy. I have it stored in my cold basement. I also have intake and exhaust fans running, so I hope I can maintain a proper temperature. There is no real way for me to tell until I get it I guess!

    Are there any additional things I could try to cool it down if I'm having temperature issues?

    Depends on Ur ventilation. For a tent that size a 600 is fine. Just make sure u have the room up for vertical growth during flower
