So im setting up my grow room (walk in closet).and i have a 4oow hps sun system hood and bulb. i was thinking of growing 6 plants but im not sure if thats enough light for 6 plants so maby ill do 4 in stead of 6? also im thinking i should buy a metal halide bulb for veg and then put the hps bulb on for flower? if its not enough light maby i can put some cfls with it? The seeds i have right now are, LSD, Supper Lemon Haze. Chemdog, Blueberry, New York Power Diesel (NYPD), and Heavy Duty fruity. i was planing on growing all 6 at once is that a bad idea? What Would You Guys Suggest!!!! ? Thanks peace.
I grew 6 plants under 400watts for a few years, but I changed my setup so now I veg 24/7 under a 400w and then bloom under a 600w. I use a Lumatek adjustable ballast, so the only thing I have to remember is what mode I am in (veg or bloom). A "rule of thumb" is 100w per plant.
