Im not near the flowering stage yet but I would like to think im prepared for it... My question is can I flower 5 supergirl plants with two 50 HPS bulbs? Light specs are about 5,000 lumens 1,900K temp per bulb...

Im using FoxFarm medium, temps stay between 70-75F, I dont know humidity yet gotta get a sensor for that, my venting/filter system and space is shown in the pics, also I have 1 4ft 40w 6500k CFL.. another duel CFL HO fixture w/ 2ft 100w 9300k's in it.. and another duel CFL fixture w/ 4ft 40w 6500k bulbs that i still gotta figure out where ima put still

for 5 plants .... i would get a 600w hps - 1000 if youthink you can handle the heat from it for flowering , youl see a rediculus difference.... supposedly sais hydroguy.... 1000w will produce about a pound in hydro if all goes well

so 600 should produce just over half a pound

What if I got another 50w HPS... that would be 15,000 lumens. You might start asking urself wat the fuck is wrong wit this guy... why does he keep asking bout adding 50w HPS lights? Well the answer is because where I work I have access to them from free... The thing is i think I would have a heat problem if I added something like a 600w + light in my 2.5'x6' closet. Or maybe wat if I had the Two 50w HPS and kept some of my flos in the mix and just changed out my 6500k bulbs and replaced them wit 3000k bulbs?

u should get two 400 w hps then if its longer then it is wide like that ,

Im not using the whole closet this round im using about half of it.. maybe next round ill use the whole closet. I do have a 400w MH ballast and fixture sitting in my room but didin try it yet cuz i was afraid of the heat

400 HPS in a 4ft x 2ft x 6ft cabinet with 4in air intake and 120mm pc fan for exhaust and my temps are between 77-81degrees with the lights on. More then enough light.

i have 5 in a 6 x 4.5 ft by 8 ft tall and they barelt fit........ there 3.5' wide and 30 inches tall
Arent u running 600w+ HPS tho? Im figuring if im running two 50w HPS's and a few 4ft CFL's im not going to get HUGE plants since my lighting is not quite that high but high enuff for some better then half decent bud? id be working with over 20,000k lumens with the CFL + the HPS

u want smaller plants use smaller buckets,, limiting ur space like that and putting them right beside echother .... man fucking think about it each pot is guna be a foot wide .... 5 pots in 4 ft wtf are u guna stagger them , and still the veg will get all mixed up its guna be a bitch to water, change , flush, move around, and when there cramped and veg is all mixed up its easy for fungus or molds or mildew to form because bad air exchange though the plants , they emitt oxygen and there h2s waste

is this ur first grow , have you seen a plant through to the finish of ur strain supergirl.... is it guna be bushy or a 4 ft tall sativee ,, because the air flow through ur plants will be essential, and if u have a sativa itl be easyer to get lights on all the bud sights and better air exhange, anything hybrid or indica id say ur fucked,,,,, how big r u buckets , and how tall ar eu vegging befor u put in flower....

So maybe I would be better off growing 4 plants cuz of light/space and prolly end up with a better yeild since those 4 would have more space/light?
