I run 2 600,s in a 5 x 5 with ac hoods you might want to throw more par ,ppfd at them if yields is what your looking for
Would adding in a couple 100 watt CFLs help?I run 2 600,s in a 5 x 5 with ac hoods you might want to throw more par ,ppfd at them if yields is what your looking for
Really? A buddy of mine runs pretty much the same setup with 1000w lights and yields about 1lb per plant so I was expecting closer to a hp? Crazy how much of a difference lights make!If your just vegging until Plants show sex then flipping plants yielding 3 or 4 oz under a 400 watt hps light isn't too shabby for a new grower.not too shabby at all.most new growers expect way more weight than they usually get. I definitely did.remember that the weight of a freshly chopped plant can lose up to four fifths of its weight so if u harvest five oz of fresh chopped nugs you,l usually get about 1 oz or there abouts of dried ready to use nugs.some strains lose more weight some less but it's usually around four fifths or three quarters or there abouts.alot more weight loss than a new grower would expect.

Yeah, I’m a spare bedroom too. Not sure about lowering the wattage tho?What about a 315 lec lamp
Ive use this in a spare bed room, worked better than i expected...LED Grow Light - BoulderLamp

sounds like your g oing to have to live with your current setup. Any light you can add to bring the ppfd and par spectrums will help but then as you mentioned your limited with your cooling situation. And summer is right around the corner. But adding more light = more heat gain. My 2 600 hunnies vent out of my tent to the attic so my temp controls are excellent. Hope you find a solution that allows you to hit the mark your looking for.Yeah, I’m a spare bedroom too. Not sure about lowering the wattage tho?
What’s you opinion in switching from MH/HPS to CFLs or LEDs? I know there’s a big heat difference. But is it worth it?sounds like your g oing to have to live with your current setup.

From what I have seen better led tech is the way to go. I just pulled the trigger on led but personally cant speak to it until I get a couple of runs in and compare them to my hid runs with mh/hps grows.What’s you opinion in switching from MH/HPS to CFLs or LEDs? I know there’s a big heat difference. But is it worth it?
Yes! That’s what I’ve heard about a solid LED set up! You just gotta put out the cash. Thanks for the info brothamy bro is killin it with his spyderx plus led but thats a 1500 dollar setup . But it is paying for itself with solid yields and he is saving a ton on his cooling /electric bills His ROI should be realized he said within 8 months at this rate.
Yes but he could be just growing one huge plant he vegged for 6 months or he could be growing in coco or hydro or a huge yeilding strain or a million other variables that can make a difference ,the most important of which is experience.Really?

Thanks Mr Bee! What’s you opinion on switching to 300w LEDs to save on heat and energy?Don't get disheartened, your doing ok for a beginner. Your on the right tracks.
That's more than twice the watts you have so if he,s got 1lb (16oz) from a 1000w and you got 2 plants with 4 oz on each from a 400 w your doing better efficiency wise than your buddy getting a lb from a 1000wReally?

I personally havnt tried led yet as they'r a big investment but I know theres good ones that are way more efficient than hps and grow better quality more resinous nugs and the money you save on electricity alone makes it em well worth buying if u have the money.my bro came into a wee bit o money and he bought a couple a few days ago.lookin forward to see what they can do.if led,s what interest u then there's a sticky thread some were that sixstring started about led,s and he was churning out some truly epic nugs.most pro,s are using led,s.its just getting the upfront cost isn't straight forward if your really only growing for personal.Thanks Mr Bee!
