Apache, Do you allready own the 1KW HPS lights?
:icon_spin:
No, not yet. My room is framed and I am waiting for my buddy to wire every thing in.
Cheers,

My questions are lighting and spacing in nature. What strain or strains are you planning to grow, size being my concern? Is the 2K lighting limit at this time because of electrical limitations, cooling, budget , all of the above?

Ok guys, I finally got the skin on my room and door in. I hooked up one 1K hps and it runs fine so I figured that I would hook up my other 1K HPS and everything runs fine also. My electrician buddy was telling me that my current set up will not support the two lights. I figured that if it was too much then it would pop my breaker but no problem so far.
Actually my room is too cold and I had to add a heater to keep it around 67-75. My humidity is about 45%. Is this humidity ideal or should i go more or less? I hear conflicting views.
Thanks guys,
How many 1K hps can you run on a 20amp dedicated breaker?
I would set the plants up in a triangle so that 2 plants would get 2 lights and 1 plant would get 1 light. I hope my x o pattern comes through on here x= plants o= lights
.............x
..........o.....o
.......x.....x.....
I ended up running with this set up. My room is sealed but no insulation and the temps range from 86-63 through out the day. Is this too much of a swing in temp? The Rh is about 35%-40%. I have to make this run in soil until the next time but my 2 1K hps are hung vert and naked as the day is long!
Cheers,
On this lay out would you use 600 watters on the out side two?
Boots,
Apache69 has a 3 plant limit...at least its legal.....

Apache69,
Did you figure your electrical out. How many amps do you have to work with? 600w would be good as the Gurus say light = growth. It also = heat, electric bills & rock hard budz!!

I missed that, sorry bout that. well still, 3 in 30 gallon grow bags will rock too, just veg em big, my main point was vert does work well with soil too
I would run 3 600w instead of 2 1000w. You will be able to place the lights closer with the 600s getting more bang for your buck. How long are you going to veg the 3?
Also, How close are you guys lights to your plants? I have them about 17" from the center of the bulb to the edge of the plant.
Thanks!
