awesome thread!
i've been wondering about getting a light mover myself.
recently i flowered with a 400 w hps in a 3x4 foot room with 12 lst'ed plants in 18 liter pots, and 4 more in one gallon grow bags. using only budswel (which is only one ingredient in my usual feeding schedule) we harvested 212 grams with 2 weeks veg and 8 weeks flower. i admittedly neglected the up keep on the training, allowed the space to become overgrown, and was ignorant of a calcium and magnesium deficiency.
i felt good about the harvest considering all the bugs.
this time around i have all my nutes and developed a feeding schedule, all environmental aspects are squared away.
currently were doing a sog in one gallon grow bags with 24 rooted clones that were put straight into flower. were at the end of the 3rd week of flower and have full colas on the top 6-8 inches of each plant.
from what i have read, i could expand my space to 3x6 with a mover, and keep the light closer to the plants? everyone else is talking about using 600 watts or more, does the equation still work with a 400 watter? should i use a 2x6 foot space?
thanks in advance for any replies!
wman44 Reviewed by wman44 on . Light Movers - Yield Effect? I am blessed with plenty of space in my first grow situation. I have a 5'X5' closet with a 430W HPS that now contains 10 unsexed (hopefully females) plants in five gallon pots (in potting soil) under a 24/7 light cycle. Veg. growth has gone well (2 months), these plants are now 3-4ft. tall and are ready to be sexed and cloned for use in a SOG setup in the adjoining bedroom, which is 12'X12'. I plan to use a 1000w HPS lamp for the main room. My question is, how many clones can realistically Rating: 5
