I'm wondering how good a 1000 watt hps will work inside a 4x8 tent until I get more wattage? I wonder if I could flower a 4x6 area of it really good? Sent from my LGL322DL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Depends on your reflector . Yea you can do a 4/4 area best high output over kill .. You cant do a 4/6. But if you were to put the light in the very middle raised it three feet above you can get up to 6/4 flower not the best on side plants . But not having the plants is even less yield. / Here is what you do.. Day one plants under the light. Rotate that plant to the outside. The outside to inside . Continue to rotate them so there sharing the strongest light. This will work. Not the best but it will give you a good yield . Go for it . In the future better to get two 600 watts in that room cooler temps and trade off for yield.
Brian Oconner do you think 1000 will yield as much in 4x6 of that 4x8 area then 1000 in a 4x4? As I have seen people get 32to 40 oz in a 4x4? Sent from my LGL322DL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
i think the rotating idea works but it is a labor of love thats why i dont scrog i am forever rotating and rearranging under my HPS but i am a hands on gardener no timers either and use 7 gallon pots with 6 plants and you can get close to 2,000 grams
if you pick a good strain and top ,LST and veg for 40 days it can be done also maybe some LED side lighting
