Sounds good and you should get good weight out of it , but why are you firing up 7 different ballasts? This will cost you , maybe furrther down the track consider 2x 1000w hps and a 600w mh. Hps are slightly more efficient. Also these ballasts and lights produce lot of heat ,are they cooltubed and room ventilated?

Cheers 4 the input
I hear what ur sayin about 1000s
I went with the 400s
Because i wanted a better spread
And yeah the lights do get hottttt lol
But the temps steady @ around 82 when all the lights r on
I'm not air coolin the lights but have very good exhaust and circulation

82 sounds good. The 400's have more advantages like vertical lighting as long as the ballasts dont bump up the bill too much.

why would you say 400's have more advantage ???? i run 10,000 watts and average above 2360 grams per 2000 watt over lapped spread area ??? which also produces a hell of alot more lumens

Ok so it's been awhile since my last post
But I'm pleased with the way things r going
I decided 2 add a 600w hps and also changed
1 of the lights over the main tray
So there's 3 400w mh and 2 400w hps over there

Ok so I've had a bit of stem rot since my last post in here
I've been treating whith h202 in the res and sprying the stems
I wasn't having much luck
And the the guy in my local hydro store advised me
2 try thornit canker powder
I came home looked it up and could only find 1 4 animals wtf ??? Lol
Anyway after a bit of research I found that the same type bacteria
That affects the plants affects alot of household pets
So I mixed it up into a paste and painted it on the stems
I am happy 2 say all seems 2 b going well
The stems have started growing again and the rot is shrinking
And it's only been 2 days

Yesterday I added a 120x120x200cm gro tent
2 the room as a clone/mothering room
I'm very impressed with it £55 free p&p off eBay
The 1 that was 2 sizes smaller was £80 from my local hydro shop
