Sorry, but I find that to be ridiculous. A good friend of mine grew in a closet larger than that with a 400w hps and yielded two ozs per plant on his first complete grow.

Baldy if you look through some of the grow logs you will find many many people here who easily yield more than an oz per plant without using three times the wattage, including me. I think you have enough light......it certainly would be plenty for me.

Peace.
The point isn't that he needs more light for his six plants, it's that he's wasting light buy using the whole room. He can get a better yield from his same six plants under his same 1000 Watts by reducing his room size.
And yes, he can probably also increase his yield by increasing his pot size to 5-7 gallon.
psteve Reviewed by psteve on . growrooms x 2 questions? Hi Folks. In a bit of a delema here,Ive just cropped 12 plants wich were from clone and vegged for 3 weeks potted up along the way finishing in 6.5 litre pots. Theses where in a room sized 6foot x 6foot x7foot high so 36 square feet,under 1 600hps and 1 400 hps & I only managed an oz per plant..roughly! Now after some maths I realise where I went wrong yield wise..not enough light covering the floor space :thumbsup: All Ive got are the combined 600hps and 400hps and without Rating: 5
