Right now I have 24 girls under (1) 400w ceramic metal halide. They are taking up a space of about 2x2 currently. At what point do you think I will need more light, or do I already need more? This light has a broad spectrum, but i am worried about the lumens, as it only puts out about 40,000. The girls are pretty young, only about 1 week out of the cloner.
I have a few options for adding more light-
1. Barrow my friends 600w hps bulb and add that to veg (no cost, but lots of work setting up the room to add this light)
2. Buy a 1000w ceramic mh/ or conversion bulb ($150 or so)
3. Swap in my 1000w hortilux hps. (no out of pocket costs)
I want to save as much money as possible, while still optimizing my harvest. Thannks.
