Hey guys, I'm getting ready to do some major upgrades starting with my lights. I was considering buying 2 mars II 1200's (5w led for those who don't know) in my 5x5 tent. I really want to push for 3lb yields out of that space I'm going with 12/5 gallon pots with a coco mix. advanced nutes for the most part. I've dialed in the heat/humidity to near perfect with a 10000 btu air-conditioner. Any thoughts?

That's 48w sq. ft. I'd say it's a bit much for LED. But, TopLED uses Epistars which aren't as efficient.

Not sure about the coverage of two square fixtures in a square tent. I think four smaller fixtures would give you better coverage.
