Why not or should not?

Got a 4x4 table with a 1k hps, and a 4x8 with 2k over that .

I gave been turning my 400 w mh and 3 t5 fixtures with 41k lamps for 6 hours when the hps come on mixing all this light together



Or do i just do the hps lamps???

What r ur thoughts?

3- 1k's
1-400w mh
3-t5 fixtures 4 lamp 216w ea 648 watts worth but imo those are equal to the 400 watt mh
So in to total 4048 watts when shes all on...
Hps are over center with all mh and t5 lighting just kinda filling in

Do i just keep it hps during flower or do i light that bitch up with what i got available?
Mixed spectrum thoughts ???

Ideally I'd use 4 600 Gavita set ups. That way you can get light to the edges better...OR get some ginormous hoods and run 2 1000's..AND make sure your walls are shiny reflective too..

But im poor and this is what i have available.
Not really giving a shit about the power bill..

Gonna try to up my lighting this summer for next winter as i only grow in cold months as it get hotter than u can imagine at my house
108+ f all summer

if you dont care about the power bill obviously more light the better imho.

keep doing the 6 hours thing or even run it full-time

(i only use led but have dable with hps/fluro, it aint my thang so this is just a bump to your thread really)

Yup, as long as your temps are in check, the more light the better! IMO.

running 3 1000w Super Sun 2's over each 3x6 table (plants hang over the edges so canopy is bigger than 3x6). plants are loving it.
