Yield with 43xP?

rbahadosingh said:

If you were doing SOG i would say that 1000 on a light mover would be sufficient. Al B. uses 1000 over a pair of 4x4 trays. for those of you who cant add thats 1000 covering a 8x4 area.

Al B. uses 3x3 trays (actually 900mm trays which are 2.95"x 2.95")... He made the correction in his post, but Ive seen a lot of people still saying that he uses 4x4 trays.. A 1000w hps over 2 4x4 trays (or a single 8x4 tray) works ok, but not great, because you will only yield slightly more (and sometimes less) than having just a 1000w sitting over a single 4x4 tray for the whole 12 hrs a day.

You are right, two 1000 lights are better. How about 3 or 10 1000 watt lights. You see the point is that with the 1000 hps on the mover You will get fantastic buds and you say no in a 6x6.5 area. You are so wrong. Plenty of light to go around and so in your perfect world where money is no object, or you just like want to make the guiness book of biggest ever bud the only way would be to follow the math and put up 50000 dollars of light, electricity, and risk even though you would get way mucho bud from the set up I described. I know what I speak of. You go right ahead and waste money but I have SEEN It DONE!!!!

At best you will yield 1.5 lbs ... Thats if you have every thing rite There is only so much one light can do..You come on here and ask for people's opinion then you get all pissy when some one tells you what they think. If you think you know then dont ask...

see the problem is people think they can go to wal mart buy all the equipment and grow fucking pounds with a picture of the sun, god forbid you put time and fucking money into something, man i just tried to help do what you want, dont cry to me when you cant even pull an elbow off one 1000 watter though dude cause thats the kind of dude u sound like u are, to stuck in your OWN way to do it the RIGHT way....someone said it best once....you have your opinion and ive grown lots of dank herb

yea, if the plant is to close to the bulb it will bleach em, we can agree on that

but what would be the point of filling the ceiling with lights and keeping the plants 5 feet away? You should always try to be efficient especially with lights. you want to make use of lumen intensity (not sure what light intensity is really, maybe you can fill me in on what that means exactly) and you can have to much of that. even on earth, from the sun, it's been known to happen at high altitudes (really high altitudes).

the only reason i posted here was to correct your statement. you made it like it was a simple straight fact and its not.

most people never find out about light bleaching because few people run rooms where temps are not an issue (like a sealed room). I dont wish to argue and im not going to. it's just that this site seems to be filled with these kind of partially true statements.

look at it this way doc, when the sun shines down on earth becuase of a mixture of the way the sun shines, the way the earth is sphered and the way our atmosphere is, the light on our earth has a wonderful was of spreading itself out over a wide area. now with that being said, say im running a 2x4 room with a 1000 watter hps inside of it, if optimal conditions being 10k lumens per sq ft the 1000 watter easily beats these ''optimal conditions'' now im not gonna do the math because i dont care enough for exact numbers not needed for my statement, now that doesnt mean u cant run a 1000 watter in a 2by4 just many dont because its inefficient, theres no reason to run more lights than the sun runs, but at the same time, running that 1000 watter will not give you bleach or ''to much light'' unless you do 1 thing and one thing only, putting that specific bulb to close to the top of that plant, i have bleached my plants with 400watts and 600 watts let alone 1000, i guess what im trying to get at is the sun is the sun, its this huge mass millions of miles away, we're using these super bright intense lightbulbs on these plants and they are simply not used to it. im rambling and im high and im going to stop trying to help now so with all this said, using1000 watts in an 8 sq ft area is possible and will not give you ''to much light'' it just becomes inefficient to do so which is why many dont...you just have to do it the right way
