hey I am going to be using one or two 600 Watt HPS lights and a 600w MH for vegetative growth.\
I was going to try and do a perpetual growth system this time. with threeT5 HO's for the seedlings also and then I will move 4 plants along the system each week with two lights and 4 every two weeks with one HPS light in hopes of continuous harvest every two weeks.
I have a room for each light that is 4x4 and 4x8 for two lights if I do that.
My question is how many plants can I fit under an HPS, I was thinking of doing one per square foot in the flowering room after they can veg until they're about two to two and a half feet tall.
I've heard that 100 watts/plant is good but I think that wastes space because I want a bunch of tiny guys each week not a lot of the same kind at once.
Now I was thinking about 1 Gram/Watt. if I wanted one to two ounces per plant then I would need them to take in 48 watts each, this puts me at 240 watts every new cycle so that means that 580 watts would be good for 10 plants, but I want to try 20. Do you think if I put 20 plants under 600 watts that they would each get close to an ounce of bud once dried?
Any input would be greatly appreciated as I'm waiting on two minor decisions to start this grow and this is one of them, so as soon as i get an answer I can hopefully start posting my first online grow journal.
thank you
