OK so I plan on having a grow space of something along the lines of 3x2x6 or 4x2x6, and I plan on having 2 plants. How much wattage should I use?? I plan on getting a MH/HPS switchable system so that I won't have to buy 2 sets of lights, but I was thinking 400w. Would that be too much for 2 plants?? Thanks for the input guys.
Not too much light, but possibly beyond the point of diminishing returns. For 2 plants a 250w kits would be fine. But your space is larger than just 2 plants, so you might want to get the 400w or even 600w if you think you'll ever want to use more of that space.
I honestly just want to grow about 2 MAYBE 3 plants at a time, what size do you think I could get away with?? I don't wanna have to get them too close to the lights or running into each other that would result in bad quality yields
I use a 250w mh for veg and a 400w hps for flower. I can do 4 plants, sometimes I just have one flowering, 3 is average for me through a grow.
i just pulled 5 oz off 2 plants with a 250w hps. 18x36 cab =) 400w you should get a very nice yield =)
Wow, that's awesome!! What kind of soil/nutes did you use if you don't mind my asking?? And did you do any lsting?? How big did the plants get?? I was thinking about a foot would be used for the pot, and another foot would be for the light, so that would only leave about a foot to work with for the actual plant. But then again I've never grown, so there's a chance I'm way off lol BTW sorry for the question bombing
