I currently have 5 vert to a 1kw. I veg for about 6-8 weeks generally. I've got 4 plants in rdwc that I will also be flowering under a 1kw bulb vert. I'm going to try and get them about 80cm -1m high before flipping.

Right now I'm doing 4 plants in a 5x5x7 tent with two 600's and they are usually about 24 inches or smaller before I flip, 10 gallon pots, this is my first time doing 4 plants, last time I did 5 plants and had serious environmental issues and still had a yield of 27oz...This time I'm aiming for at least two pounds, here's a pic 3 days into flower.

I run six plants under my 1000 watt. Veg for 6/8 weeks and average height is 2ft tall when they're put into flowering. I use 3 or 5 gallon pots at the moment. Gonna try a 10 or 15 gallon pot for my next transfer to see if it really makes a difference.

I do 4 under 1k and this is how big I like them when I flip. In #10 pots and vegged 6 - 8 weeks. This strain doesn't stretch much, if it was a og, I would have keep them a lot shorter.

Man you suck ass. If he already has a 1k light, why would you tell him to get 2 600's? You really need to stop posting because you only post dumb shit. This thread is not about which is better, one 1k light or two 600's.

Thanks for the input guys. Because of numbers I'll only be able to do 12 this next run. I top, then lst. i usually ran 18 under 2 1000 watt hps. I would top, lst, and veg for 3-4 weeks and get 60+ ozs per harvest. The strain I run is extremely awesome. It's a sour diesel cross that stretches very little and yields excellent and also is dank as hell. So i figured if I up my size of pot, added 1 more light and vegged twice as long I should be able to pull same yield or maybe more. I started a journal but they are still small in 1 gallon pots currently getting ready for there next pot size. (I included a pic of some finished product) haha

2 600 would be a little increase in electricity but u would double ur footprint same amount of lumens

One wouldn't double the foot print. Pretty sure you gain 2 square feet.

The op didn't ask if 2 600's are better than 1000. Dude everyone on this site can add 6+6, thanks for letting us know you can too.

this would also depend on reflectors used but it def would be better using 2 x 600's than 1 x 1000 but it also depends on the area he got to work with

op already has 1000 watt lamps. i don't follow what you mean by depend on reflectors.

different reflectors reflect the light different as in parabolic reflectors , adjustawing , budget etc and different reflectors can reflect different area space as in more or less

So you would grow out side of a 3x3 with a 600 depending on what reflector the bulb sat in?

No you wouldn't and no it isn't. Its not worth it for him to spend an extra 500-700$
