Tropical Sativa Indoor Lighting Question

walkabout

Member
Hello everyone,

So I don't post much, more of just a read and learn kinda guy but I cannot find the answers I am looking for anywhere. Considering this seems to be the most knowledgable cannabis forum I visit I am hoping you guys can help me out!

Long story short, I am growing tropical equatorial landrace sativa's in a "micro" setup. Looking at growing them sog style from clones in a 2'x2'x5' area. Restricting pot size to keep them somewhat manageable along with my knowledge of bonsai techniques and plant training methods. BUT for lighting I have yet to find a definitive answer. As equatorial species, one would assume these plants will favor a greater light intensity. I have a 250w HPS for the space but I am wondering, 1. Will this be enough wattage? 2. Would these plants benefit from a mixed spectrum? As in would it be beneficial to throw in a 70w MH or some blue spectrum t5's?

The strains are specifically:

Durban Punch - Tropical Seeds
Destroyer - Cannabiogen
Queen Mother - Original Delicatessen
Zamaldelica - Ace
Green Haze - Ace
Double Thai - Ace
Double Jam - Underground Seeds Collective

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
