That answered my question, without a doubt. I figured it would be ok, but I wasn't sure. I'll be starting my grow in Colorado when I get there, so I'm not worried about the humidity being too high, just too low. Also can you take a look at my other question up there about my supplimental lighting idea?

It depends on how you manage them -- manipulating with LST, FIM, etc. or just letting them go au naturale -- and how long you plan to veg them out, strain choice etc.
But all that said, a 400W will support somewhere between 2-3 grown out, branched bushes to 6-8 plants just grown straight up. It doesn't sound like much, but you'll be shit-kicked how much weed those few plants can put out, though.
Kriegs is right... You can have up to like 8 plants depending on strain and how you train them.
Example: 6 indicas vegged for 3 weeks then full flower without any training would be fine depending on the height of your cabinet/closet/room etc.
With Sativas of Sativa dominant plants, you would have to do some topping or fimming and if you didn't want to go that route, there's always low stress training to achieve the desired height. If you look back a page or two, there's a good example of a guy that has 6 plants under a 400w.

thanks for being honest lol. the other post i had, no one sayed anything about them. I thought i was over watering too, so i didnt water for like 3 days, and the bigger plant's leaves were drooped all the way down, then i watered it, and an hour later i took those pics. idk
oh and idk wuts wrong with the leaves... ever since i switched to hps thats how they came out.. mabey heat stress idk

possibly, wats the temps?? yea heres the best tip i can give u fer watering....let em dry and b4 u water pik the pot up, feel the lightness of it and keep it in mind, then water with a few (or a couple) hundred Milliliters of ur juice then pik it up again and feel the weight then and do that fer a while u wont even need to worry. but remember as the plANTS oops...as the plant gets bigger it will need more food just keep up with it and dont go crazy feeding them, they like more dry enviorments

My space is 2'x4'x7'. Growing 2 super silver haze plants in a box wrapped with mylar, flourescents hang 2 inches from tops. 72-75 degrees 50% humidity. Fan for circulation and spraying plants with carbonated water to produce Co2. Been growing for two weeks now and about 3 inches tall. Last night i watered with GROW BIG from fox farms 2 tsp per gallon. How is this set up?

Carbonated water is good as long as it's the right one. Certain selser water and club sodas have sodium(salt) in them which is bad to spray on your leaves. Mke sure your using one with nothing but water. and the best thing someone who has problems getting the water cycle right can do is go pick up a moisture meter. They are at every nursery and in the garden section of most stores(seasonal though). They usually cost about $5 and you'll never over or under water again. You simply push it in the soil and it shows you how moist the soil is. When it reads dry, you water if it doesnt, you leave it alone.

scopin these buds is makin me ansy to have my own again, finally. Just flipped last night. Should be a good one. Purple Kush, Blue Dream, and my favorite I think, Sour Grapes (Sour D x Chemdog x Purple Elephant).
Here's a couple photos. Topped the rest to the level of the Purple Kush around a week ago.

this is off topic but i happen to have a 400 watt hps and i cant find a viable thread anywhere...sooo
Is there any regular difference in the calyx formation of sativas and indicas? im aware of their differeing maturation times but just curious as to whether the density is species or strain dependent..
also i have 2 plants going right now (in my sig) but the calyx construction is entirely different, both are bagseed but one seems to be much denser while the other has a very high leaf to calyx ratio..(the denser one is maturing much faster as well, is this maybe just indica dominant possibly??)
in the event you link to my sig the big one on the left is 9 weeks in (since first pistil sighting) and there MIGHT be 5 orange/brown hairs on the whole thing, gotta be sativa right?

I have to agree with the overwatering, but there's more to it here. What's your RH (relative humidity) and your room temp? Looks like heat stress. No apparent burns but definitely signs of too much heat.
