Which light do you have. I’d be willing to bet it is not 2000 actual watts. Most LED lights that are advertised as 2000W are closer to 400 actual watts.

Sorry to hear that dawg. If nothing else you learn from your mistakes and your next grow will go better.

Oof, dude. Your still way over complicating things.
Your "2000w" LED probably isn't actually 2000w, and it's definitely not "optimal" lighting if it has a bloom and veg switch. I'm guessing it's a blurple. Run both switches on at all stages, it's just a gimmick to be able to switch some of the spectrum on and off.
Co2 is for people with completely sealed grow rooms cranking 50w+/sq ft. And I mean true watts, not what the "equivalent watts" listed on cheap Chinese LEDs from Amazon.
Don't use fertilizer to get your pH down, buy some pH down. I've heard you can use lemon juice or vinegar to drop your pH but I've never tried it.

It's 212w. It says it right on the listing. It's a cheap, not particularly great light. IYou'd be way better off with a Spider Farmer SF2000.
Fyi, that makes it approximately 1.18x-10^13 the power of the sun, or less then one billionth of a percent of the power of the sun ... so your friends math was off a little bit.
You need to worry less about trendy terms and nutrients that you read about on forums and more about the basics of growing marijuana. Like I said before, your way overcomplicating this.

Try not to take any advise peronally, you will likely find as I did that many growers are very pationate so sometimes things come off like they are being curt with you when in reality they are just trying to help. I just harvested my first ever plant and got some great advise from some wonderful people here. I am not really in any position to give advise about growing as I am a total newbie here but will say that this forum is full of great people with wonderful advise and the fact that they take the time to try to help is awesome. Growing should be fun and you learn much more from failures than successes. Happy growing. Welcome, time to RIU.

It draws a total of 400W so you would actually need two gold those lights just to be at a suitable output level for a 4x4 tent. Adding CO2 would be a waste of time and money even if you had two of these lights running in your tent.

I will say that you can get decent results using LED. I have only grown 1 plant but I feel the results were pretty good. Than again I could just be a proud parent and cannot say what would have happened using other lighting. I used 1200 watt LED lights which only consume 150 watts each, 2 of them in a 2X4 grown tent and the plant seemed to be quite happy.
This is not to say that there are not much better lighting setups but for me it did provide what I considered a decent result. I chopped my first lady 2 days ago and this was result.

You need to hang out around more intelligent and knowledgeable people.
