    600w HPS vs 400w HPS

    I think I sort of overshot and got the 600w on the assumption that it produces more lumens per watt and that I would probably need it

    I was thinking about downgrading to a 400w HPS since my growspot is rather small and I keep getting heat issues

    can ya take a look at my logs and tell me if I would justified in getting a 400w and selling my 600w?

    600w HPS vs 400w HPS

    if you plan on staying small I would go with a 400. Th extra 200 is nice but if you have problems with heat you might as well downsize.
    And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

    yea thats what I was thinking

    the procyon is within my budget but i would have to wait a few months to save up some moola and it seems that there are some kinks still needing to be worked out on that

    how about a 250? too small for 2 plants at a time? cause thats probably what I would be doing

    Your last grow looks really good. :thumbsup:

    To get good light penetration I would go with the 400. If the plants max out at only a couple feet a 250 might be enough it all depends on how tall you like to grow them.

    if you wanted to you could get away with 6 in there with a 400 on a sog. Just a thought

    they are as small as I can possibly get them o__O

    12/12 from seed and they still end up monsters lol

    maybe its the superthrive haha

    either way im happy with 3oz+ per plant but I probably will downgrade to a 400

    is there such thing as a 300? or some other odd number systems?
