2- 1000's would light a 4 x 8 area very very nicley
If you are going to keep your plants short.. Flowering around 6-10 inches with a final height of about 20 inches or less then you should consider 4 - 600's.. and they could cover a 3 x 12 space
If you incorporate a light mover into your grow you can stretch 2 - 1000's over a few more feet of length
Easy question..
Use 4x 600W... More lightspread and more power all together.
I use 1000 W on tracks and they cover up to 8 by 12 ft although you need to rotate and have under a 2 foot canopy
So I think i am going to have 1-400watt then a 600watt then another 400watt. Going horizontaly over the plants. What do you think about that. Or would just have 2-600watts horizontaly be better.
I hang mine straight down with umbrella shades. Tracks are amazing. You can cover about 30% more space and up the yield by atleast 25%.
What are umbrella shades. Should I change my setup to 2-600watts and one 400watt in the middle?
That up to you. Umbrella shades are parabolic shades which and no one ever knows what I am talking about when I call them that, so I call them umbrella shades. Basically they are shaped like an umbrella.
Shit I can't find any 600watt mh ballasts so it looks Like I am going to have to go with a 400watt then a 1000watt then another 400watt. This will be lighting 16 plants. And on the other side of the room I will have the same thing. Any suggestions? Would this be a good idea or not. Is there a better mixture.
My suggestion is get more plants. My plants that up 8 sq inches and you can get over 100 of them , single cola , under a 1000w
will do. Ill just take cutting from them and have alot of plants. a very lot of plants
My house feels empty with under 100 but that just me.
Good to hear I love a very lot of plants
Much love my friend
Thanks. I will have alot of plants. What strains do you grow. What type of ventalition do you have.
No ventalation. Use ac to cool the room and make co2.
I have grown amoung others
NL
AK
Jack Heraer
Haze
Ripple
Blueberry
Jack Herrer sounds good. So you would rather have added co2 rather than a good ventalition system
Definatly I like my rooms airtight.
Jack is 50% NL , 37.5% skunk, and 12.5% haze from the word on the street
Why air tight. No leaking oders or what. What is the best way to deal with smells. A carbon scrubber or a vaportek 4000.
Never used either. Whats a vaportek 4000
As long as she is airtight who cares about the odor. I like ozium
karmaxul
what size containers do you use
and what medium.
i like the idea of a bunch of single colas
better than a few bushes
