What should i expect a better yield from covering a 4x8 growing SOG style. A 1k on a mover or 2 stationary 600W lights.
What I've heard is that using a light mover will increase efficiency by as much as 40%. So hypothetically it would be like running 1400 W on a moverMost likely. I would prefer two sixers. Better spread and more watts overall is a no brainer.
I was going to grab two 1000's to begin with but if I can save on the power bill I would rather put the 1000 on a moverWhy not spend your mover money on a second 1000. Then you're in biz.
go for the 3 600s if you are going to use 2 1000s less wattage and as good of yeild with light overlapI was going to grab two 1000's to begin with but if I can save on the power bill I would rather put the 1000 on a mover
I was planning on using two Air cooled double ended reflectors on to Solis tek matrix ballast. In the middle where they get cross lighting I'm going to put my cob fixture that I built for my last grow. I also plan on running CO2 in the room as well. All of the girls will be on a flood table and wI'll be flooded twice daily. Anybody have an idea on what kind of yields I can expect. I plan on vegging them to about 12 inchesI've used light movers in many ways for almost thirty years. They spread light, they don't create any. The only way they help is to spread out crazy hotspots.
If you're looking for a magic technique to get more growth from less watts, it already exists; COB LED. These can easily produce light at well over 50% efficiency, roughly twice what HID can manage.
Back to your 4x8' table; more light will get you better buds, up to a point. That point is between two and three thouies- and between four and five 600W lamps.
I've pulled almost four from a 7'x3.5' using 2 HPS thouies in Magnum XXXL 'Ocho' hoods.
You may want to flood more often, that's a lot of light.I was planning on using two Air cooled double ended reflectors on to Solis tek matrix ballast.

Dude, this is indoors. Most of the time that extra height ends up just being stalks stripped bare because the canopy is up higher.just because if height isnt a problem veg 18 inches for a 5 footers and will get a few nice pounds out of it
Get two 1000w. The difference in cost is minimal especially if you are going to use it to flower.I was going to grab two 1000's to begin with but if I can save on the power bill I would rather put the 1000 on a mover
Gotcha. I think I'm going to go with two 1000'sA 600w is optimal over a 3'x3' area. So keep that in mind when trying to light up a 4'x8' area.
2-1000's over 4'x8', or rock two 600's over a 3'x6' tray.
I'll go with stationary lights all day long over light movers, and I use to rock light movers all the time a long time ago.

Would you think it's possible to hit the 5 pound mark with this set upA 600w is optimal over a 3'x3' area. So keep that in mind when trying to light up a 4'x8' area.
