So I got something awesome today and I am really excited lol, but have some questions and concerns. I got a 1,000 watt hps/mh light set up today with a bat wing hood. I wanted to go for a cool tube but I seen on youtube jorge said the bat wing is the best for spreading the light so thats what I went for. I also have 4 Mars Hydro old model 300w (140 true watts) for a grand total of 560 watts from LED, and 1,560 total watts. I've done four grows with auto flowers but that's it, moving to photo period now! The wait is gonna suck, but hopefully the results will be better with photo period plants. I pulled two ounces off each auto, besides the grow that went bad, and my last one. I've done four grows total. 1) Do you use both lights, one for flower and one for veg, if so which do you use for each stage of growth? If you use one light throughout your whole grow, if so which one? 2)Should I do away with the 5x5x6 grow tent and just use my whole room? Kinda worried about the heat of the summer, plus when I have 4 five gallon buckets in the tent at the end of my grows there isn't much space to get around in there, and thats with autos 3) Should I be concerned about running my 1000 watt light on a 24-0 light schedule for a month? Also, if not would it be okay to cut the hps/mh off, and leave the LEDs on if it is not okay to run the 1000 watt light 24-0 4) How many plants should I do with that much light. I was thinking 4. I know I could do more, but would i see any gain from it? If so how many should I do? 5) How do you guys light proof your grow room door without alerting any visitors that something funny is going on in there? Need ideas! 6) If you grow photo period plants when do you switch to 12/12? At a certain height/width or at a certain age, and what are your harvest results normally. I hope I got good equipment, its all from hydrofarm.... and xtrasun bulbs... are they any good? Thanks in advanced also!

I normally always order all of the same strain but I wanted to mix it up and stock up on seeds for multiple grows this time, I can't wait to smoke some different bud... Been smoking Fast & Vast forever now. It will be nice to have 4 different kinds to choose from! My plan is just to do 4 at a time, then chill and smoke until I'm almost out!
Hang the LED's in your tent plant all 9 of your seeds directly into 5 gallon buckets when 9 plants reach about 18 inches tall change your LEDs for your 1000 watt HPS and start your 12 on 12 and in about three and a half months from the time you planted your seeds should be harvest time..... plus you can cut clones from your plants right before you flip and veg them with your LEDs outside of the tent so you have something ready to flower after your first photo period Harvest Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
You should pull at least a pound probably more every 8 weeks after your first harvest Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
While all that sounds really nice I just kinda want to grow for myself. You're talking about something I do not have enough equipment for, though I wish I did Shits expensive, and i'm poor! By the way, thanks for responding... I didn't even realize you did until I went to check... forgot to subscribe. But yeah if the police do happen to come, I want them to know I'm growing just for my own personal use, not the whole neighborhood. I doubt I'd get in as much trouble with 4 plants vs. 18 plants... or at least I would hope. How much can a average grower normally produce with photoperiod plants? I know the seed info on herbies isn't true... just looking for a good goal to set for my first photoperiod grow (per plant) Also wouldn't the plant be shocked due to the change of the lighting?
i think you should pull a pound with that 1000 watt light in your tent. you can do it with one plant if you want you have all the equipment you need...more plants = less veg time. me with lb every 8 weeks = not enough for personal use..........lol Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It might shock in a little bit but people change their lighting all the time I go from t5 in veg 2 HPS in flower and they take that really well Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
That picture is 8 plants 1000 watt HPS I could have yielded just as well with four plants I just would have had to veg for about 2-3 more weeks to get the same 1.25 pounds Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It's telling me I have a message but I can't look at it Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
