What about a 2' X 4' X 8' area(closet) with a 400w hps and a 250w MH for flowering? Moving plants around every 3 or 4 days for an even light distribution, provided the temps remain within an acceptable range? I ask this because I have 3 lights with 2 closets - 400w hps, 250w mh and enough cfl's to light-up a small village!!
ButchieYost2001 Reviewed by ButchieYost2001 on . 400w Metal Halide for first month of flowering? Okay, right now i have a 600w HPS which covers a 3 x 3 area. I figure i can fit 6 comfortably. I was wondering... could i double what im doing by getting a 400w metal halide for the first 4 months of flowering then switch to the 600w hps for the the main budding phase. Someone was telling me that plants grow denser with sturdier stems under MH light, and since the first 3 -4 weeks is stretching could MH light help control stretch? Could a 400w MH keep up with 6 medium sized plants for a month Rating: 5
