i'm looking at a 1000w complete kit for 8-10 plants. what did you veg with? i use a butt load of 40watt floroslowelz said:The 250w worked good for my two plants but you might want more watts or two lights if you have more plants.
a 1000w HPS handled my whole room 6'x8'x7' with 25 plants so you should be cool if you only have one room use the 1000w thru veg and flower if not try to get a 400w MH and use a couple compacts for secondary lighting low to the ground to create total light penatration from the top and bottom also for 8-10 plants a 600w HPS will work fine but its a good bet you will eventualy grow more plants so get the 1000w anywayPUFF MONKEY said:i'm looking at a 1000w complete kit for 8-10 plants. what did you veg with? i use a butt load of 40watt floros
.. untill the stem/stalk is dry enough to "snap" when bent...lowelz said:Hick how long do i dry them before jarring?
6X8=48 sq. ft. @ 5,000 lumen p/sq/ft("optimal" as recommended by grow guides and veteran growers) = 240,000 lumensa 1000w HPS handled my whole room 6'x8'x7'
unless you are in an exceptionally arid climate, brown bagging them 'now', could promote mold. "Open air" either hanging or on a screen with abundant air circulation, is paramount in more humid climates.lowelz said:****... i dont remember reading that.. they have to be out for a whole week?
How should I "leave them out"? Paper bag or screen or.. ?
so what your saying is i was at the minimum recomended for flowering in that room and for more optimal conditions i should add another 1000w or 600w HPSHick said:6X8=48 sq. ft. @ 5,000 lumen p/sq/ft("optimal" as recommended by grow guides and veteran growers) = 240,000 lumens
One, 1K hps emits around 145,000 lumens "new".
..or 145,000 into 48 sq ft. = 3,000 L/p/ sq ft(minimum recommended)
Yes, if everything else is dialed in especially.will i get that much more production going from 3,000 to 5 or 6000 L/p/sq. ft.
exactly.. "I" would believe that if all other factors were "dialed in" for maximum benefits, that those extra lumens would definately make a significant difference.bombbudpuffa said:Yes, if everything else is dialed in especially.
It won't 'triple your grow' if the other requirements/needs aren't met.lowelz said:Pothead420 If your dropping all that cash on your grow it might be worth picking up some Co2 I've read it can triple your harvest. I'm planning on doing it for my next grow I just invested too much in this one so I couldn't do it.
Thanks for the help guys.
