2400x2000x2000 tent
2 x 600w hps in coolshades
1 x 600w in standard fitting until i aquire another cooled one.
1x 6" rvk fan extracting through 6" filter
1x 6" blauberg extractor outside the tent sucking through the light shades and blowing out into a 6" carbon filter.
1 x 6" an 1x9" oscilating fans inside for circulation.
temps still seem to creep upto 28-30 if the room door is closed for too long so gonna get a air con in there to hold it at 19 then the tent stays at 26 no probs.
1 tower oscilating pushing air round the back and side of the tent..

is that enough lights or do i need 4 in total?

cheers for any advice.

Thanks @Growtogrow
would you recommend a fourth light at all mate?
because its been so long, i just tried to match what i used in the past but make it bigger and better.
for now i dont intend having plants in the front left corner, its perfect for sitting working away and kinda just staring at them :smoking:
i have been doing some reading on the scrogg idea for sometime in the future, but for now im trying to keep it simple and get my hand in again.

It's real nice set up. If you add a air con.. It will help cool it down this is true.
I had heat problems when I ran 1000w hps... I had heat problems when I ran 600w hps..
Then I found 315 CMH lights. Now I have to add heat sometimes...LoL but not to much.

Like hps and have use good LEDs. But cmh is right now a better over all grow light.
So what I'm getting at. Is the money you'll spend on aircon and power to run it. Maybe better spent on new light technology.
Just my 2 cents bro:cheers:

Well you know about the light's.
Scrog net is fun. If you've not done a scrog net.? You want make sure all the under growth is cutt away all the time and good ari flow under the canopy. To hold back the mold.

I use super cropping and lst est techniques rather than use net's.
But that's me. Outside I use a net. Because it's easyer for me to get all around my plant's

Oh my word :worship::worship:

ive done absolutely nothing prior when it comes to training.
seed in pot an leave till ripe lol

those original lowryder back then were awesomely uniform little things.
i was expecting all these to be similar but already they are 2 foot tall and one has gone to 3 foot.
i tried lst to start with, saw some splitting at the nodes happening with tension so in the end i unhooked them all an left them to go.
today i did some trimming of the fluffy growth at the bases.

im currently reading up on the scrog methods, i think i can handle that when i do a next full run.
i had to get 5 photos out the tent round to a mate as im only interested in autos.
i currently have another 6 seedlings at a week old and another 2 seeds waiting to pop through.

i wish id looked more into the better tech on the go these days before getting the lights but i now know what im aiming for

an i see you can get convertor fittings to use my current shades and ballasts :)
 
Yeah man the CMH ballast that I've been buying they all come with the adapter socket so you can screw them right into your HPS sockets and then the cmh light bulb that screws into that.
on eBay I can got 2 CMH ballasts for under a hundred bucks with the adapter and on Amazon there around a hundred 30 bucks with the adapter. I think the last batch I just bought... I want to upgrade all of my lights from HPS to CMH just recently and I bought one that came with the socket and a cmh light bulb. And one that came with the adapter and no light bulb for I think it was just under $100 to the house. Those both came from eBay.

I'm getting ready to Super crop this plant I'm putting an extreme crack in it right now at just under a half way up so she's two foot tall so I'll probably Snap her around 8 to 10 inches layer right over proper up and tire down and that'll be it.

Well there you go. 1 super cropped. Not sure what she is. Somango I think ? This seed came from my bag of unknown seeds from harvest 2 last summer outside. And could be wedding cake somango mango HP Silver Haze incredible bulk big bud Afghan skunk blueberry cookies Bubba Kush and one other one that I can't remember off the top of my head. Blue's maybe?
But it shows mostly the characteristics of a samango I've been running this Somango since 2015.. We love them they're a great plant... everybody loves them and she always give me a kilo outside.
