Yes, I did use side lighting though.

Now this is Purple MoRon @ 6 wks with only a 150 hps and NO side lighting

Looking good!!
What did you use for side light?
I was using 150 thought I would up the yield with 600w & a new room.
Did not turn out good.I've had it a few years now & haven't done as good with it as the 150w.I came here looking for supplement lighting,now I wish I had went with 250 & 150
I could have several for the price of this 600w..
Now what kind of side light did you use?
Thanks!!
 
150 Watt HPS at about 51 Days flowering. My largest one is getting real close to getting chopped.

How do you guys grow for the first two weeks with a 150w hps? How close do you place your lights over the top of those tiny seedlings?
 
I answered a lot of questions this run. I setup the 150 on one side of my tent and a pair of hanging shop lights with cfls on the other. This allowed me to keep that 150w 8" above the top of the plants over 1.5 feet. ( my tent is 3' wide.) I used 4 cfls on the other side. I'll have a pic of my setup here.

I tried a few different ways to train but basically grew 4 plants under one, 150w hps. Here's one FS c99 that I supercropped and lollipopped under the 150w. It's still growing today BTW.

I think to cover 4 square feet a 150w works just fine. It would cover more but the closer you have the light the more weight you put on per plant.

I learned you could do a lot in 4 square feet and a 150w and have no plans to upgrade.

You could greatly increase yield by training down those lanky girls lol.
