Indoor First grow - Green-o-Matic 600w HPS/MH

[budelee]

Hi @Dudeski hi @BigM with a plant that young 1200 watts would be overkill even if the electric is free..its good that you have both lamps for future growth but take it slow in the beginning,this will save you the trouble of pushing the plant too far and burning it..hope that advice helps you some

Just for reference/comparison,i grow up to 6 sometimes 7 plants inder one 600 HPS lamp and have had killer results..i had i go with an open grow style because i couldnt control the heat tho..

Thanks @budelee! Was thinking of adding it for flower only since I am concerned that my 600w wont be able to cover 23 plants.

It feel like Im geting a bad spread of light in the outer parts of the tent.

Ohhh i see,23 plants..lemme roll back thru your journal for more details

23 in a 4x4 tent? Thats not gonna work too well

Well, we ll see. I'd love some education as of why it wont work very well!

Just wanted to get as many as possible in. I think it might be doable...

Okay,caught up,ive never seen an auto scrog,i'll sub up.my grows of 6-7 plants can easily fill a 5'x 5'. Area and my best yield was 830 something grams in 75 days..i dont know anything about the strain u are using but if it gets bigger than 15" it will likely bush out,this will cause all kinds of heat and cirulation issues which may result in mold or powdery mildew,best bet in my opinion would be to set another tent and at least go with 12-11 plants

I wouldnt put money that it wont work,but you will have to work really hard to make it work,and it would be much easier to work less hard,if that makes sense

It kind of does. I will try to read more and educate myself in the process with this tent.

I will, however, keep going with 25 plants in one tent just out of curiousity.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it!

Edit: if I decide to continue this stupid projekt, do you wote for one or 2 light?

Okay,and i thinks thats a good plan to start,as the plants get bigger you have another lamp so the option of adding another tent is there..heres a bunch of andfor you ,heres a rep slap as well!!!
