I have 15 clones which are about two weeks old that are under a 600 watt metal halide conversion bulb with an HPS Ballast. I started them in a soil mix specialized for staters and recently transplated them into Coco. Im also using rhizotonic for root growth along with the Coco A and B for food. I plan to begin the bloom stage in a month and transplant them into bigger pots. Should I get another 600 watt HPS or is 1 sufficent? If so, how big do you think my yield will be per plant?
a 600 watter will produce roughly 90,000 lumens...
you want 5,000 lumens / sq. ft for optimal growth....
that gives you coverage for roughly 18 sq. ft...
If you are able to fit those 15 clones in 18 sq. ft...you should be fine

Depends on the nature (genetics) and the nurture (your environment) of your plant...This means many factors will influence yield (light, air circulation, nutrients, grow medium, watering schedule, disease, humidity, temps...)Quote:

From my knowledge, 5000 lumens per sq. ft. is the bare bones minimum for the production of any decent product, the more the better :) (to an extent of course) :thumbsup:Quote:
