Should I use more watts in veg?

[Cflbegginer]

I have two 400w metal halides for veg but I'm only using one ATM coz I thought it would save power and I didn't see the point of using both for veg. But would they grow quicker during veg with more watts? Or should I just keep to the 400w and go 800w hps for flower? Opinions?

Any help would be appreciated?

probably just one, depends on the size of your space, number of plants, and heat

Thanks for reply, I have a 1.2x1.2x2 metre tent with 6 inch inline fan with carbon filter sucking air out and another fan blowing fresh air in, I have 3 plants on 12th day of veg. But also just had some seeds pop that i ordered so want to grow them coz the three plants that I have in there are just random seeds from a mate! Probably nothing special

I thought commenting on it brought it back to top so people would see and reply haha I should have 7 plants soon though coz I just got some white widow, critical ak47 and berry bomb. So 1 400w sufficient to veg my tent? Till flower where I can use both 400w,

Maybe if total is going to be 7 veggies then maybe some supplemental CFL's on the side, during veg. Sounds good tho, nice mixture.

You don't need much light to vegg 3-4 weeks

So you think 400w will be enough then 800w in flower?
