400w hps

say if i was to buy a 400w hps light, how many plants would i be able to grow with it roughly.

thanks for anyhelp.

4 would be pretty standard

but you could grow 16 or more even if you're doing little SOG grow

what is a SOG grow?

thanks for your help mate

I have 7 plants in flowering under a 400w HPS right now. They're all thriving, but I wouldn't add another.

planing on a 3x3 set up with a 400 in a room 9 plants 1per sq ft flower at 12 inches

here ya go

SOG,,,, is sea of green mate,,
this is flowering when the plants are small
so you can get more under the light
hope this helps you:thumbsup:

in a roughly 3x3 space, I usually don't exceed 4 plants during flowering although I have had 5 in there and things were fine.

i have the same plans as unlockit. it might get a little crowded but mj can produce nice buds w/ as little as 30w hid per sq ft. at least thats what ive been reading and would like to keep it around 40w or a little higher. my area though will be 3x4 with the light directly over the 9plants and have room to put in a fan and whatnot.

I would saw 6 very very very comfortably...:stoned:
