    lights

    I was thinking of blowing some more money, my friend seems to think another light would be good, we have a 600w Horti right now. Is there another light we should add or is the horti enough? I told him I got the Horti because it does everything through veg and flower but he feels another light will give us more bud

    A 600w in that space would give you 37.5 watts per square foot. It's a bit on the low side but possible. You'd just have to keep swapping the plants around every week or so, so they all get their turn directly under the lamp. Or if some plants are taller than others, have the taller ones around the outside and the shorter ones in the middle.

    A 1000w lamp would be ideal for that space, giving 62.5 watts per square foot. It's over the 'recommended' amount but your garden would be well lit all over.

    the heat would be crazy, Iwe are stable at 84 give or take under the light as it is. I had a fan on the light and he added another floor fan to move air in and out.

    some of those babies will be male so the space will shrink allowing more light to each plant
