hello..

Im gonna use a 400w hps lamp for 1-3 plants

is this ok or should i use something else ??

thanks

Most growers determine that by the size of grow room and not the number of plants, but with that being said, Yes a 400 will work for that many plants, if kept a reasonable size.

Here you are again my friend

i have one room i dont use in my house so...
im gonna grow there, but its a big room so i think i must find a solusion
becouse i need only 1-3 plants

its an open space,it is ok to put it there in a corner ? or i should put it in "smaller place" ?

i see somewhere some grow tents! it is "Must to Have" if you are going to grow in a big place ?


and i think i will need a MH lamp for the veg perior im right ?

the system i will use is..
Complete Grow Lamp System 400W

Electronically regulated ABT Power Booster - starter and condenser are electronically integrated in the throttle

Ballast can operate BOTH Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium bulbs

The System includes the following:

400W Electronic ballast (ABT) - Power Booster with Thermal Protection
Hammer blow reflector with handle
E40 version bulb holder
400W Philips SON-T PLUS Bulb giving 56,500 lumens!!! with enhanced blue wavelength

You could either try to put them in the corner and seal off an area like 4ft by 4ft or yes a tent is a pretty good option. I have a homebox very high quality love it and it would be about the right size for you probably. The light your getting sounds good definately want to have a digital one with a switchable mh/hps light. Personally i would go with a lumatek but they all work. Anyways good luck with your grow. peace out

Yeah your either going to have to box the corner off or is there a closet in the room??? or tent it up.. i love my tent.. i know theres others who love theres.. hehehehe.. umm you can go with the MH for veg.. personally i use the HPS all the way through.. i dont like the factor of using 400w and getting less lumens as you do from a mh.. so i just flower and veg hps..
personal choice once again..
you wont be getting 56 500 lumen from your MH...

do you have a closet available? I like to grow that way and hang the light from the clothing bar..

I have a closet but i dont know how much high in "CM's" are the plants, so i cant be sure puting them there...


here we dont use inches/gallons.
we use cm/litres.

I was think the same bud..using the HPS lamp will be nice.
