Veg Light Question?

[yagayo83]

I replanted my 2 week old AK47's today from round 4" pots to square 9" pots. My question is the light I've been using is a secret jardin 2 x 36W CFL, when the plants were in the small pots they all fit directly under the light but now that there in the larger pots they are more spread out, do I need to buy more lights or is this still enough light for my veg stage??

looks like your going to need more light

that's plenty, but lower your light to one inch above your canopy's highest point.
of course more would be better, but those will work if you'll lower em..

what size tent is that? the 4x4?

oh sorry missed the veg phase part, you could prolly get by with that for veg (although more light is always good )

Stupid Question but what is the canopy's highest point??

Its a DR150 so its 1.5m X 1.5m

If you really want to maximize your yield for the size of space your useing I would definetly look into more light. what are you using for a flower light?

 

[yagayo83]

Im using 600W HPS

Im using 600W HPS

lol that will do the trick, Imo I would prolly use it for veg too, along with the flouros for supplement lighting.

I have a dr120t running a 1000w with a cool tube with no problems and the bottom space is only 4x4x5

 

[yagayo83]

Is it ok to use the 600W? Should I leave it on 24 hours? Didn't think it was possible to use that light for veg..

yes sur thats right bros

 

[yagayo83]

yes sur thats right bros

Is that sarcasm?

I would do 18/6 unless electricity isnt an issue, from what I,ve read if your only going to use one kind of light all the way through grow and bloom the hps is better then the mh, but if you can use both then mh for veg and hps for bloom.
