...................No idea what an sj dr120 is. If you want to use a t-5 you can do that. A 600 would be gud enough. And dual arc do indeed put out mh and hps at the same time.
Another week, another bunch of stuff to do, another chance to try and get my plants to grow.
peace 600
We are not bagging on you or your post by the way. That's a good tent and you definitely have the right idea so far.hey all im buying a sj dr120 i want 2 use a t-5 but any help is great being my first grow. is a 600 watt gud enough? what about a dual arc, i want to do mh/hps. thanxs any advice will b helpful...
Where are you planning on using that T5 fixture, and what size is it you're thinking of. I take it that tent is about a 3x3 so like Jig said, the 600 hps is enough. MH vs HPS watt for watt will have less lumens so when you combine them, to get the benefits of MH, you sacrifice with a loss in lumens.hey all im buying a sj dr120 i want 2 use a t-5 but any help is great being my first grow. is a 600 watt gud enough? what about a dual arc, i want to do mh/hps. thanxs any advice will b helpful...
4x4 leaves room for extra lighting down the road then. I have m2 tents (40x40). Speaking of extra lighting, I'm seriously thinking of trying some UVB lighting in one of my tents. Anyone else?That tent is 4x4 Duchie.
A 4x4 will still work with a 600 just fine but you'll want to try and keep the plants centered under the light. Whatever is around the edges may end up with buds that are a little fluffy. Ideal size for a 600 is 3x4 or 40"x40" tents
Like Duchie said though, a T5 is great for veg and those dual arc are actually like running two 300watt bulbs. I would run a 600w HPS personally instead.
Nope, but my exhaust is good. My winter issues were cold night temps/cold ground.Anybody ever have heat issues in the winter with a 600w HPS (non-cooled)?
