:mrgreen: Hi people.
I have a grow at the moment consisting of 9 plants all doing well, 4 of them are in a hydroponic system and 5 in pots (Not enough room in hydro) I currently have a 600watt sodium bulb above them. when I first did a grow I had 8 plants again with a 600w sodium above them and they yielded around 9 Ounce all together, for me not enough.

I am considering getting another 600w sodium for the grow as I have just put them on flowering so not too late (I Hope) which would then mean I have 1200w above them. Will that give me a much larger yield? I would be a happy man if I can somehow bring in a Kilo to keep me going for the year

Or shall I just stick with 600w and save my money???

Please.....HELP!!

you want to have more than 70 watts/square foot, 70 being minimum. you should start checking into getting some U.V.B. bulbs now. you wouldn't need more nugs if the ones you had were more potent. easier on your lungs too.
