Flowering question

Could you leave the light at 400 watts for flowering stage i have 12 so 400x12=4800. Is that good enough for flowering stage. Im having trouble maintaining temps with each light at 600 watts. Would it effect the grow for lower light intensity. Will post the set up below

Running 400s is the least efficient.
You use more power and produce less lumens per watt. It will def affect your yeild.

You can do it
You waste electricity
You reduce yield
You increase flower time
But since you keep asking the same question
Try it and tell us how it works because most of us wouldn’t attempt what you are without cooling especially if your in the Southern Hemisphere

Why not do 4 1000w hps? If you can fit 12 lights you must have a big enough space. Do 2 rows of 2 lights and an in-line fan each side. Little less wattage and way better quality/yield

I thought you had experience. A lot of it according to you. Any idiot could figure out that many HID fixtures are going to produce heat and a lot of it.

Edit add: I'll take that back about any idiot because you're here asking. So . . . ..

Point of being on here is for help. Not to see whos on idiot anyway thanks for your input
Well
No money to make needed changes

if I were in that position I would start a smaller grow till I could sell the spoils and buy what I needed
You aren’t the first to try going big without the knowledge to do it
You are asking everyone to help you grow in an untenable situation
Good luck with that

In order to help, you have to be able to help yourself.

i haven’t commented on ALL your other posts about this subject but I have read them.

to me it seems you have a couple of options.

Option 1
Dig deep and make the necessary changes to your cooling/air situation

option 2
Stop running some of the lights or reduce the power.

option 3
Stop making so many threads about the same god damn subject and adjust your setup or buy what’s needed.

you clearly have no idea what you’re doing so my honest advice would be fuck it all off use 1 light.

grow in a 5x5 and make some money to be able to support the 12 light shit show you actually want to run with.

Keep the change ya filthy animal.
