600w or 1000w?

[lantho650]

What do you guys use/prefer? Is there any difference in weigh? I use a 1000..she runs kinda expensive but I get dense buds. Growing in a grow tent.. about 6'7.

I use 600w so I would say 600! <3 Also something involving more lumens but hey its a 600w! Once you get one you're in the club.!.

i prefer 1000w hps for denser buds..but u got to love the energy efficiency of a 600 hps

But do you use 1 600 to get 1 pound ?

 

[jacob213]

1000w yield more...600's are the best cost effective yield

 

[RawBudzski]

you can get 1lb with 1 600w. I personally use 2x 600w and shoot for 1lb per month.

you can get 1lb with 1 600w. I personally use 2x 600w and shoot for 1lb per month.

how long do you have to veg with 2?

 

[RawBudzski]

Honestly I do not know, I keep my vegging & mother under a 4ft t5 setup. So I try to keep plants under their @ all times & add however many I may need to replace space.

Per month, how is that

 

[jaydiesle]

so a 1000 would give a better yield than 600w so y does everyone use the 600 just cuz its cheaper

 

[RawBudzski]

600w put out more lumens than a 1000w.

 

[jaydiesle]

so a 600 would help u yeild moe than

 

[jacob213]

between both ive always yielded better off the 1000w but i never used 2 600w...ur electric bill is ALOT cheaper with a 600w

 

[jaydiesle]

it is cheaper but if a 1000 watt yields more than its worth it it all depends on the space i guess

i got 600 hps and a 400 mh so im running 1k, and im in the 600 and 400 clubs, woot woot

 

[Prefontaine]

so a 600 would help u yeild moe than

a 600w will put out more light per dollar than a 1000w, so yes if you have two 600w you will out do any 1000w grow,

 

[Prefontaine]

it only has to do with efficiency, the 600w is the happy medium between a heat wasting 1000w and a wussy 400w, the 600 you get the most light for the electricity you run through it.

 

[jacob213]

yea it does just give it lots of root space and co2 and she will get BIG...the trichnomes are larger with the 1000w in my opinion

 

[jaydiesle]

puts it simple and easy

a 600w will put out more light per dollar than a 1000w, so yes if you have two 600w you will out do any 1000w grow,

 

[Prefontaine]

yea it does just give it lots of root space and co2 and she will get BIG...the trichnomes are larger with the 1000w in my opinion

what? if you want bigger trichromes you need proper wavelength, i believe UV light is what promotes heavy trichrome production, this will depend on the actual light range that your bulb emits,
