So I am not a newbie but I have never grown hydroponically and I have never used a led light I was wondering if a viparspectra par600 led light will work in a 2x4 tent and can I use 6 3.5 gallon bucket system in a 2x4 tent

Actual watts are 274, so that would be almost 35watts per square foot. I think you're good BUT if you haven't already bought the light, then absolutely forget about blurple and buy some new white leds: HLG, Meijiu, KingBrite, SpiderFarmer, MarsHydro. Also, if you end up using the Viparspectra, have all 3 switches on AT ALL TIMES.

I already ordered the light it does have white light mixed in with the blurple light it also has built in timer and instead of on off switches for the colors it is adjustable for each invidual color

On point. Fantastic recommendations.

I was actually wondering on the coverage of this light

So I decided to buy a hlg 100r spec to go with the viparspectra par 600 hopefully it won't be to much heat

6 plants in a 2x4 is tough. Shit gets crowded fast. 2 or 3 max imo.

2 plants under a net will easily fill a 2x4 in 4 weeks.

I'd pull back on your dreams just a tad. 3.5 gallon buckets would only leave 1 or 1.5 gallons in the bucket after you put the net pot in there. It would take a lot of attention.

I was planning on growing plants smaller because buckets are only 3.5 gal and quicker veg time because I will be using same lights for flowering I only need to get about 1.5 ounces off each one

Any luck figuring this light out? I was given the Par600T. The single knob acting as a multifunction switch is a nightmare for me. I understand the brightness and the veg/flower channels. I've have zero luck figuring out the timer/clock. I honestly wish it had the three switches like the regular 600 model. Any insight would be great. Thanks
