Indoor Four autos under one 600watt sodium

[zaQ]

Iust thought i'd add that the soil im using is Plagron Lightmix 100% Terra,Terra Vega,Terra Flores and Rhizotonic,all of which are CANNA.

I haven't seen anyone using these products so i just want to check if they're ok to use

All input and recommendations are welcome

You can relax. Anything from CANNA will make your plants happy

600 hps will do ten, easy, i run 4 and a 250, 4 plants in that size pots under a 600w hps should be amazing big buggers as they will get enough light! keep the light 3 ft from top at all times, 20/4 all thro, and watch then do it all, as i say up to 10 or so (about 1m x1m sq area)

Hmm, 3 ft is a total waste of good light. I aim at 1-1.5ft MAX in the middle.

i was thinking 15-25 inches once they're all looking healthy as i've got good ventilation to keep the heat under control

I'm looking into these lights,views and opinions welcome

little update peeps,i've had to change my lighting setup as it turns out with the hps i would have heat issues so i've ordered 2x300w leds with a total of 15200 lumens to use in my 100x120x200 tent,hopefully this will be enough lighting

if not you could get a cooltube/bigger extraction fan or just for next time, the cooltubes are only around 50 pounds.
good luck with the leds

I would have said a 600w was perfect for your space.

4" RVK, and a clip fan for circulation and you're good to go....?

quick update,setup is now up and having a test run,to solve the heat issues i got a 6" cooltube,clip on fan for circulation,intake venting and an adjusta-watt ballast which switches to 250-400-600-660,hot vent goes through my ceiling into my loft and out through my loft vent,3 seeds have been soaked and placed in rockwool so lets see what happens,pics to be uploaded as soon as i see some action

Don't forget if you are temp testing with a bare tent it will read higher than what it would when there are plants/items in there to absorb some of that heat.

Also I run switchable ballasts (lumatek), bare in mind it pays to have the correct power bulbs for each setting. I'm no scientist but say you have a 600w switched down in power to 400 or below, although it will run the spectrums of light it puts out might be off.

Good luck anyway, Mitch
