if u invest in a 400 watt hps you could easily pull 1-3 ozs.. plus you could get rid of all those cfls

Thinking of cutting the top 5 nodes off the biggest plant, and cloning it. is that a good idea? thinking about putting the clone + 2 other plants into flowering, but keeping the "mother" in veg in another part of the shed.

it depends on if you plant on investing on new lights...

what would u flower under?

BrokeFYC · May 5, 2010

I'd flower the 2 plants + 1 clone under 150w hps, with 46*4 cfls in additon.

JN811 · May 5, 2010

yea that may work.. dont expect a huge yield with that but you can def. expect some bud

JN811 · May 5, 2010

do you already have the hps?????

no.
planning on getting it day of flowering. actually, the 150 is only $86, and the 300 is 200+, could i get 2 150's?

JN811 · May 5, 2010

go with the 400 watt from htgsupply.com .. they are VERY much supported here on RIU. I searched for weeks till i finally decided to get it. It works amazing and Im still using it today.. give me a second, ill find it for you, its like $140 after s&h

JN811 · May 5, 2010

how long did you veg?

JN811 · May 5, 2010

only like 3 weeks i think.. dude get it if u can have or can save the cash.. the light will absolutely pay for itself by harvest time plus much more

BrokeFYC · May 5, 2010

140 might be a bit of stretch for me to shell out in 2 days. Might have to stick with the 368 cfl watts i had planned.

JN811 · May 5, 2010

alright well heres what ur missing out on..

JN811 · May 5, 2010

you can always get one later if u decide to clone i guess.. peace.

hahaha. listen to Dark and myself and you'll succeed! btw you will eventually need way more than 3 42 watts for every plant.. Light is SOOO crutial to the growing process, I really dont think u understand... Read this to understand it and ull be 100x better off..

Things to know about lighting

Approximate light production:
Incandescents: 17 lumens/watt
Mercury vapor: 45-50 lumens/watt
Fluorescents: 60-70 lumens/watt
Metal halide: 90 lumens/watt
High pressure sodium: 107 lumens/watt

How many lumens does an LED give off per watt?

vonneffdobermans · May 7, 2010

Quick question. How would one of the UFO LED lights do for an arewa 3x3 or at most 4x4?

And if known... which one is best for $$$... Tryin to save...

Thanks in advance
