six string how much closer can you get a 600 ??? i have run 1000'sthem 14- 16" from tops with air movement between canopy and light
also note that closer the 600 gets the less canopy space it will cover so your screwed that way so outside plants are stretching like a mofo
Ask our self what are average yields for 600's
Here i will make it easy for you expect .5 per watt for novice grower that equates to 300 grams
Intermediate grower lets go .7 maybe .8 gpw 480 grams well below 1 gpw now lets look at a pro who has everything dialed in maybe 1.1 660 grams this is lets face it 600 watts is going to be in the 480 grams or 17 oz range 3 x 3 6 plants the more plants you add actually less yield per plant occurs cause of compaction and foilage but hey i guess you can always strip them leafs off them plants so lower bud sites might develop lol
with 1k's there is no need to run them that low to the plant running 1k at 16" or 26 " its litterally same dam penetration as in umol
so your defeating the purpose of lowering the light and getting less coverage
pretty simple really 600 maybe more effcient cost wise watt or watt but or every 6" that 600 gets moved away from the canopy your losing the effciency by 15 percent every 6 inches so really
me and buddy all we grew was pure power he ran 600's i ran 1000's i always beat him in yield his plants were tall stretchy one bud top bud was nice rest was small in comparison difference he ran 48 plants i ran 12 lol truth
most cases people use 600's cause of space and possibly heat but its always been known 1000's produce more bigger buds bigger plants and more yield
If you average it out what are most 600 growers achieving ??? 480 grams per 17 oz ??
what are most 1000 watt growers achieving 2 - 3 pounds per 1 k remember your talking about 1000 that is almost double the power :) seen it over n over n over n over did i say over n over there six string ???
2- 600's would struggle to beat 1 1000 watt at the end of the day its numbers that count like i said around DEC i will be firing up a journal here jihadi kush and train wreck x pck ,, under 1215 watt nano's i'll show you growth rates and most importantly yields like 3 + pounds per no worries there

Nice thread man. As I'm about to go water 48 good size plants I'm looking at the labor involved in maintaining those beds u have, I'm thinking hmmm...
Have some extra space to experiment, think ima keep my build options open.
Convince me haha.

cant wait to see some magic. Positive vibes.

Edit: those are some of the biggest 600w buds I've ever seen. Fukn killer job.

i finally have all the plumbing done. and have enough girls to plants all my new rooms and the one i just took down (10 pounds from 8 600 with lots of room to improve)

now all i will do is cover the beds in poly, hang the lights, and plant some plants

i have my lemon head-band and strawberry fieldz ready to go. and a plethora of others; i just selected

Well there would be a huge difference 1000 watt would kill it althogh 600 watts are more efficient watt for watt there is no comparison when it comes to horse power or in light terms Umol 1000's 2100 umol new bulb 1925 stable vs 600 @ 1170 output stable
when comparing them into 4 x 4 600 @ 37 watts per Sq foot or 1000 @ 5 x 5 at 40 that 3 watt per sq foot difference is a huge difference in comparison lift that 600 light in 4 x 4 area and power drops drasticallyy or umol readings is pushing its limits outter edge of area plants will indeed stretch would be better off 3.5 x 3.5 or een 3 x 3 its sugested 2 - 600's or 5 x 5
Even 2 600's would struggle to compete with one 1000's there a force to be reckoned withView attachment 548252 View attachment 548253

Is that actually you in the newspaper?
I always like to put a face to a name.
For some reason I had you pictured like Bubbles without the glasses from Trailer Park Boys. No offense meant either.
