Hello me and my girlfriend just moved to a perfect house to grow in. i used to grow autoflowers when i was younger but now im gonna planning on growing regular og kush. i would say im a good grower. not the best but def not bad. Im just wondering here. i bought a 2m high tent thats 120 cm on each side. will i be able to sustain me and my girlfriends smoking from that combined with a 600 watt hps/mh light. my goal is to not have to buy weed in the future. im hoping 600 watt is enough to keep us blazed. Otherwise i was planning on buying a smaller tent with a weaker light for vegs/clones And maybe buy another 600 watt hps for 1200 watts combined in the large telt. Opinions anyone? Experience anyone?
Get some quantum boards and you won’t have to replace HID bulbs. More efficient. “Tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.” — someone awesome
I would but i used to grow with 1x 90 watt led light and 1 x 50 watt. and it didnt end up as much as i wanted. though it was a cramped tent with not much room. It also says like quantom board 240 watt. why would i spend that money on something that has lower wattage? Is Led really better?
To answer your question. a 600w hid bulb will be providing plenty of light. You can even use an MH bulb for veg and HPS for flowering Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
This get on LED's cult is getting ridiculous on this site. The OP didnt ask about leds. Total fuck nuggetry. OP - to answer your questions depends how much you both smoke! In a space like that I would expect a bare minimum of 12 oz every 5 months.
i Bough an MH for Veg and HPS for bloom with a tent kit. came with ballast and reflector Im mostly anxious if i shouldnt blow the extra money on another 600 watt light setup. Just dont wanna be dissapointed in the end
In a word, yes I believe they are better. Quantum board LED watts aren’t the same as HID watts. And the LEDs coming out today are far superior to the old blurple LED crap boxes. Current LED tech is full spectrum white light. Imo, HIDs do grow good cannabis, but they will soon become a thing of the past.

we smoke from we wake up to we go to bed. mostly hash though. i dont like the 5 month thing. i would like to half that time. i need to get like a production up and running. so maybe best to buy another tent so i always have plants in grow?
But in the end it is all about preference. “Tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.” — someone awesome
Just get QBs OP. You dont even need plants, it will produce a yield of whatever number you pull out of your arse because everything else is just fucking shit and anyone else who says otherwise is stupid/a has been
600w of HPS in a 4x4x6 tent, oh yeah. It will keep ya'll blazed and have leftovers unless you grow some long flowering sativa's. Can't add another 600w in there I don't think, but the last grow i just finished I added another 600w for a total of 1200w of HPS and it did well, very well.
I use 600 hps it should provide more than enough . Some people need the heat from a hps and not every one can afford good led lights even if they are better .i want some led for side lighting with my hps .
It’s hard to say because I just changed the way I do my perpetual grow. I harvest every 60-70 days, but this will be my first large crop under these quantum boards. If I had to guess, I’m probably looking at around 25 zips for this next crop (between 3 plants). “Tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.” — someone awesome
It all depends on how much u smoke. From the way u talk, keep us blazed, imo NO it won’t be enough. U tend to smoke more when u have it. Imo ud be best off getting another tent to veg in and flowering in another. That way u can put 1-3 plants in at a time and take them out so ur always putting n and taking out every(set amount of time). Since u already have hps I would use that to flower and get a QB or t5 to veg in other tent
This is good advice. I will second this “Tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.” — someone awesome
Good answer. I'll think ill get my tent up this week. means i still got some time to buy another tent for the Veg state and clones.
