TXZ BIG P:rastasmoke:

1.What kind of nutrients are you planning on using?
2.Which are you using? what size containers?
3.Describe your room... temps/humidity,distance of lighting from plant.
4.Are they clones from a mother? Or did you start from seed? That clonex stuff is rather expensive... I've only used the gel and still usually get 95-100%
5. Are you running a 1000w now? If so, what are you doing about heat? unless you have good ventilation then you will need a air conditioner.

I would suggest getting the General Hydroponics 3-part. Imho these are the best and simplest nutrients to work with and if you mix them right the ph stays about right too. Just read latewood's 3-part legacy in the hydroponic section. Another good additive is liquid karma. This works as a catalyst and really makes the plants grow more vigorously but use sparingly in the flowering phase as it makes them crank out alot of unwanted leaves.

If you can get a light mover then I highly recommend getting one. A mover will eliminate the "hotspot" that on a stationary light under the bulb. It will increase your potential growing space by about 50%. Also movers will spread light more evenly over the canopy resulting in more uniform growth. It would be especially badass if you can hook up like... 1000watt HPS, and a 600w MH both on a mover for a 4x8 space. Another good thing about movers is you can keep the light much closer to the canopy.

Btw.. Your lightcycle(photopeiod) should be 18on/6off for vegetative growth and 12on/12off for flowering. I recommend vegging for at least a month or 2 before switching to flowering if you have the room.
just a couple questions/suggestions...
