Would you get using say, a 400watt HPS? Soil or hydro matter? I've heard it does and it doesn't. I've heard 0.5 grams per watt per month, also heard 1 gram per watt.

since this question is asked on a weekly basis, and you didnt really do all that much searching, i'll give ya the answer you want to hear.....
for every watt you will get about 64oz with hydro and about 32oz with soil.........
if you dont believe me, look at some of the other people who asked the same question every week.
:(
I just got the "search" talk, I give it all the time on other boards :(
Sorry...
I'm just getting used to this new board....
Ok, well, to make this not completely useless...
are those 10lbs ballists worth th extra $?
Ya, the more light the better. Ballasts are going to help in that area. I thought you asked how many watts per plant, if you don't know that its 75watts a plant?? Correct, me if i am wrong. or maybe 75w a foot? Damnit Delete this page! lol
Heh, well, it's 20-50 watts per square foot I've read, the more the better. I'm not sure when it's overkill, however.
there are some ballasts out there that will help you save money. Look for the digital ballasts, the start-ups are smoother (no flickering), use less electric, and depending where you get your stuff can be just a touch cheaper. Your still gonna get the lum's as you would from the coil ones, but saving the cash and smoother start-ups are huge plus for me.
damn...guess whos gonna pull a metric ton with his 400watt hps!!!!!Quote:
