Thanks for the + rep danny i'm always happy when i can help a fellow grower in some way 

if it were me i would run 2 1000w super hps in a 3x6... but if it were me i wouldnt try to grow 8' plants indoors either.
anyhow, i dont see how you could do more than 2 1000 watt air cooled lights in such a small area (i dont think you have room for 4 reflectors and ducting in a 3x6), so i would go for 2 and 1 nice fan to cool them. and if needed, maybe some low watt/low heat side lighting as you mentioned.
i would concider the chart above as a very bare minimum... a 1000w hps for every 4x4 is usually a pretty good method for maximum results.... you can use slightly more light then that, but at some point you will run into heat issues, hot spots, leaf bleaching, ect... You can also get away with less light, it is possible to grow and flower a 10x10 canopy with one single 1000w light but quality and density will drop quite a bit and i have found that most people that have tried several lighting methods (including myself) use the 1000w per 4x4 method and in my opinion is kinda the standard set up.
Hey there, new to growing and i have one plant under 2 4' 32-watt fluorescents, my question is if I could technically grow on one bulb instead of two since it is a single plant.
Any info regarding LEDS?
hi dudes, i have 11 northern lights just had them in water for 48 hrs then planted them in all mix soil. I have a grow tent, have them sitting on heat mat, and pots are wrapped with clear film for moisture, they are under a 30watt flourecent, is this light okay rite trough vegging period, and is everything else done rite so far????
thanks for rply.. well i wasnt sure wat to do next, how many more lights will i need and wat colurs if it is important. yes they are only seedling at the minute. and wat do you mean by a light underneath?? when do i start vegging?? when true leaves apear?? i also have 400watt hps but i am not going to use this untill flowering.. is everything else sound ok??
if you dont want to keep replacing so much money on cfls bro shop lights with aquarium or reptile lights from a pet store there worth it in the long run bro trust me
