So I just ordered a dimmable 600 watt MH/HPS. I already have the 5x5 tent set up in the house. The light will be air cooled. Am I gonna have enough light to reach close to 1g per watt? Is the tent to big or is it ok?
600 watt in 5x5 tent?

tents ok, gpw capability is not light size dependent. what have you achieved on your previous grows ? my best after 4-5 grows is .7 or something

What determines this? Or what is the primary factor?

grower skill / growing conditions and strain/pheno to a lesser extent

I was gonna order a 1000watt but kept reading the 600watt is more efficient. Forgot the tent was that big.... Oh well. I keep reading the max tent size for a 600 is the 4x4. Is there that big of difference between a 5x5 for the same?

I'm worried about going from 600 to 1000 cus of heat concerns, but its going to have to be done
I have a 120x120x200cm tent whatever that is

That comes out to 3.89x3.89 ft. So it's about a 4x4. So you have the "ideal" perfect setup almost . From my research I've found to go up to 1000w you should also go up to 5x5' tent size.....for maximum light efficiency. What are your yields like in the current setup?I'm worried about going from 600 to 1000 cus of heat concerns, but its going to have to be done

That's a couple short of a pound...I would love results like that. I'm not worried about heating issues right now cause it's gonna be the coldest month here when i flip mine on in a couple weeks. Gonna run my in line fan through hood as low as possible. In the summer I'm gonna have to crank that guy up to the max.
I'm gonna do
3 afghan skunk
1 purple Pineberry freebie.
Should be a good time

Always wanted to go there when I was a kid...I guess everyone does. I'm in Colorado. Things are nice and legal here now. It's gonna make this grow nice and paranoia free! Thanks for all the data.

penalties are quite harsh here regarding growing

Keep your head down and be safe.
I'm allowed to have 3 plants, a medical license allows up to 6. You can get a Dr's letter stating you need even more and are allowed up to 12. If you get caught with more than allowed you get a marijuana manufacturing felony charge... And some time out.
But cops are really not interested in doing all the paperwork unless it's WAY over the limit....like 50 or 100 plants.

yeah I think if its not blaringly obvious or it is a troublesome house they don't care too much here.

So if you're not even medically licensed you can have 3? Without any permits or anything? Is there a size limit on the 3?
Amazing how the laws have changed, seems incredibly fast from over here.

Yup it's called "recreational marijuana" here and it just means you don't have any medical license. You have to be 21 years of age or older to posses or smoke it. They have shops that are recreational and/or medical where you can buy buds, clones, wax, or edibles....and there are possesion laws for buds too. Like you can have up to an ounce without any license and it goes up from there.... 2 ounces with a license and if you get approval up to 4 ounces possesion.
Weird thing is you still cannot smoke or consume it in public anywhere or you get a citation. And if your high while driving can get a DUI.
So it's quite similar to alcohol laws, no public consumption etc..
Oh and it's legal to "trade" weed here or give it away, but still illegal to sell to one another.
It's still hard to believe..
They do have size limits but they call it "mature plants" or budding plants, but no one pays attention to that.

Sounds about perfect then lol? As opposed to here where people still get arrested over a gram lol. Oh well. Thinking people will see it and catch on.
They test for it here for driving too and i think you loose your licence if they snap you. Also for a large % of jobs they drug test too (imagine that's the case there..probably gone up even now weeds everywhere?)
Here if you give your mate a bud the police would try charge you for supply and all sorts. Like a txt can be conspiracy to supply and all kinds of bs like that. Does depend on the cop to a degree - some of them obviously realise the laws are nuts.
So you could have 3 2 footers. or 3 15 foot tall by 15 foot wide ones haha that's what I'd be doing.
Might have to save up and come to Colorado for a holiday haha.

Yea they definitly test for it for good jobs here and if you even smell like it while driving will be arrested, but you can grow trees all day long as long as it's on private property(your property). I think most people are too impatient for that unless they are outside...the state is making so much money off of taxing it from the weed stores, they have more money for schools etc..
