keep the floros on the sides if you want but only use the HPS during flowering.. MH is for veggin. if you have two ballasts just get a conversion bulb for your MH.

The more light the better!!! I have roughly the same same area with a 1000watt=) so IMO if you have two 400w ballast run both the MH and HPS during flowering if you only have one ballast.. MH --veg and HPS for flower

Ive read ever other water but I know caligrown uses nutes for every watering and several others do as well.. I'm going to try use nutes every watering myself.. watch your plants they'll tell you if there unhappy or not=)

I use nutes every third watering. If you use it every watering then you will most likely need to flush them about every three weeks to keep salt buildup to a minimum.
