New Grow Tent!!

So I picked up a new grow tent which is a huge upgrade from my previous setup.

It is 60" x 31" x 70" and I got a new a 400 watt HPS. Plus I have transferred my 250 watt HPS into there from my previous setup for a total of 650 watts. Is this too much light?

I plan on having 3 autos in air pots under the 400 and 3 autos under the 250. So 6 plants under 650 watts in a 5' by 2.5'(approx.).

Does this seem doable or will I get too overcrowded?

Looking forward to my first harvest this Sunday!!! and then my 2nd and 3rd staggered grows. :trampoline:

Sounds good man , throw up a pic or 2 and people will respond more I think ;)

Nice tent ! , I use 1200w in a 6.5ft x 2.5ft closet ... So I think you should be ok if you have proper venting

I cram 24 plants, 12 under each 600w and flip em ... Flip small to not over crowd

I do 2x600s in a 5x6x8 and i get some bleaching if I'm not careful. Everyone will tell you something different, but my grow mentor always advocates a 1:1 plant/light ratio. I have heard of other "commercial" growers advocating the same thing. Less upkeep, same yeild. Know your state laws. Often times more than a 4 will land you in the clinker. You could have 24 x quarter ounce plants and they will still call it a factory. http://webold.norml.org/states
