I have 10 THC bomb feminized seeds and 5 low ryder #2 seeds. Im looking to grow 5 THC bomb seeds and 5 lowryders at the same time. The space is a 10x10 room which will be sectioned off into two areas. One area will be for veg while the other for flower. I have purchased a 1000w MH/HPS switchable ballast, Big Kahuna reflector, and a huge carbon filter and fan to clean the air. I also purchased ducting and an inline fan to vent the heat from the light. My question is about the light. Do I have enough light to grow all 10 plants at the same time? Also how far away from the light sould the plants be? I have experience with 400 watt lights but a 1000w is all new to me. I just want to make sure I dont burn my babies. Thanks in advance guys.
how would you light both areas that need different light schedules with 1 light? also i just read someone saying that their 1000w hps cost them 95$ a month on the energy bill. i say get 2 600w or 4 400w.
Sorry. I ment to include that Im going to use fluorescent light fixtures in the veg room to get them started. once they are a few inches tall, im going to hit them up with a mh 1000w. Once they start to show hairs, they are going to be moved into the floor room where they will be under a 1000w hps. I have an old sunsystms 1000w mh setup that is going to be used in the veg room.
oh. ok then. sounds like it will be fine. and i think hps is like 2 ft away. it can be closer tho if you keep the rooms cold. just have a good exhaust and you wont have to worry.
