How many 1000w bulbs for 200 plants

motoracer110 · Jan 29, 2010

hello fellow growers, I finally got enough patients to care give for 200 plants and have never used the 1000watt system. I am growing using ebb and flow and am wondering how many 1000watt units i would need for a grow like that? also about how high above the plants do you place those lights from the top of the plants? your help is greatly appreciated. :weed:

How tall are the plants you're planning to grow? SOG is probably your best bet considering the size of the grow.

I was thinking 4 ft per plant finished. If i did a SOG would i just do trays and have a drip line feed 4-6 times a day?

ebb worries me for the amount of water and nutrients i would need to keep going. they sell a 244 pot kit with 7 55 gal res ( thats a ton of water to be pumping)

haha ya I made the materials list and just needed the final thoughts on lighting. I was thinking 25 1000w Digital lights. that would give me enough room for expansion to 250 plants when i get more patients. I was thinking 10 plants per 1000w.

Its red because i told america that their weed wasnt as good as BCs weed haha. I think he should do a 6 lighter, 200 isnt enough for 8 lights. I have 150 under 5 1000s. you dont need more that 6 to get 200. But 4 footers on trays? good luck.

cool so putting like 20-30 4 ft plants in 5 gal buckets per 1 1000watt light would be enough? (it dose not seem right, correct me if im wrong)

if you use light movers you can get away with way less.. depends on how big your pockets go pimp.. I have seen 23 1000's yes 23000 watts on 15 plants.. so you do the math,..
