dont plants need "resting dark periods" ?? I read that somewhere in some marijuana lighting guide
https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/292985-24-0-vs-18-6-a.html
check that out, its a good thread, but do your own reasearch (google) on the info you take from it also.
i veg 24/0 when the weather is cooler. but in the summer i 18/6 because of heat issues just. 24/0 is amazing under hps i'd say a good 30% increase in growth so i can reduce the veg time accordingly. but in saying that i find the plants are also a lot more sensitive and extra care is needed .
 
I have a question if any one can answer ...i was wondering if it would cause any problems if i veg my plants under a 600wat and then flower them under a 1000watt ...will this method be ok to try

if its an hps (sodium) lamp then it would be great. just remember to raise it a bit

Just new

i use florecent lights for clones , then re-pot into 10 ltr pot , put them under a metal halide 600. Then when plants are abt3ft tall put them into flower with a 600 sodium for 8-10 weeks and get at least 5 ounce . Nutrients are canna coco a+b rhizotonic, and canazyme for veggie. Then flowering is 30 of a+b 30 canazyme 30 topmax 10 rhizo , in a 10 ltr bucket. All wiith canna coco soil

Whats up ppl ... Starting my first grow soon and I'm looking to see what size and how many HPS i should put in the room ( 10' by 9' ). I want to maximize all the space, any advice i can get back ASAP would be helpful.

thanx, Letmetry
 
150W/150W x 2 and i think the biggest you could go is 400W IMO I'm generally always stoned though so measurements aren't my expertise :\ make sure you line the walls with mylar/tin foil/flat white paint, happy growing ;)

well a single 400w would cover a 4 x 4 foot area, so you fail.....

you would 4 400w and 1 150w, to get it right.....
