i have a seperate veg room so i run 4 plants in 5 gal buckets and harvest 2 about every month. with my 400 watt im only pulling 2 -3 ounces a month and im trying to double that and get 6 oz a month. so i figured y not upgrade my shitty light. just dnt know if i should go 600 or 1000 watt dimmible......
With 4 5gal buckets, even if they are tight together, I think that's enough grow space you could benefit from a 600. Just remember your increase in yield might not be the 50% you are increasing wattage by. Let me ask this, how tall and how bushy have your mature plants been?
