stuck for plant space

[cester]

hey guys, i felt i needed to do this post as im kinda stuck, i have 3 ak-48's growing 18'' in veg, and now i have 5 full moons coming through in seed, im stuck for cash so im planning on letting the full moon catch up and flower them all at once, but the problem is that atm im vegging 3 ak-48's under 1 200w envirlite and there doin great, but now i have another 5 plants, will the plants get enough light, should i do sea o green?

any advise woud be great, +the space i have would be perfect for sea of green, but and ideas would go down a treat, thanks

You need more light.

Find a bigger light on craigslist. I got my 400w with ballast and 4 bulbs for $40. There is no way around not having enough light.

will envirolite red+ blue, 200w blue and 250w red be enough ?

will envirolite red+ blue, 200w blue and 250w red be enough ?

It is def enough to keep them alive but with that many plants under 450 total watts you will have a small harvest. A 200w will only penetrate the canopy 8-12 inches so dont veg them long or they will be too tall to get they light they need.

or would 2 enviro's+ some cfl's do the trick?

IMO the only right way to do it is outdoors or HID. CFL will get you a little bud but nothing compared to a HPS.

It sounds like your answering your own question.

 

[cester]

no, read what this is about?, i never asked could i use a hps, i said im stuck for space+cash and needed a sloution to fix this a simple way

flower what you have going and then start the new seeds. your lack of lighting will dictate how much weight you will get more so than the number of plants so why waste the seed

And I never said to use HPS. I am saying you should never have planted extra seeds. Without increasing your space and lighting there will be no increase in yield from 5 plants. in fact you will probably get less due to reduced air flow and litte to no light penetration with 5 plants.

Me.... I would just go with the original 2 and give a seedlings away with a view to getting some clones from them when your ready for more.

when did they breed the autoflowering out of AK48? Don't think you've got a choice when that finishes flower

If you know you need alot more light and don't have any cash .......... why do you keep popping seeds ?? The light you have is bearly big enough for one plant.

i kow but i dont have the cash lol

AK 48 started out as a regular strain. autoflowering was bred into it.
