Well I picked the 3 best clones and my soil was ready so it's day 1 of veg in my book the other 2 will be mother's or backups 1200 true watts beaming down like the sun wish me luck
I promise you...you will only wet one of them ballasts once Id nail them to the wall about 24" above what you got now good luck
You are wasting so much money on the e bill. There is zero reason for you to use this much power in veg with the number of plants you have. Also the basket will for sure faily . Once you water that plant soil gets heavy . You ever hear a 1000 watt digital explode ? Holy shit there loud . Soak it and it could just makea popping sound lol.
