Hey how are you? Im new to this forum and I have posted 2 threads already with no replys.... I hope this one has better luck. Anyway I have a question.. Right now I have a tent that is 4x6x6 I built it outa pvc and 3 mil black construction plastic. I have 14 kush plants 2 white widow and 2 skunk #1 plants going. They are anywhere from 9 to 18 inches. They have been vegging now for about 5 weeks. I have a 1000 watt mh lamp in a air cooled reflector, running with a switchable mh/hps ballasst. I am getting ready to put them into flowering, in 2 days as soon as I transfer them into 5 gal grow bags. I will be switching the mh lamp to a hps. I have 3 room fans going inside the tent and it seems to be about 65 degrees in there. My question is If I get another 1000 watt hps will it be too much for that space? I am planning on getting a squirrl cage fan to cool the lights off as well. How much bud do you think I will yield with 2000 watts of light going? Here are some pics of the tent with the plants. LEt me know please. also any advice on how I can make this tent better. Please dont be shy!! Im trying to attatch pictures but its saying my submission cannot be precessed. anyone kno why? They are.jpg they should work. any suggestions?

If youre doing everything by the book, you should harvest approximately 2.5 lbs per light. As long as the room temp doesnt go past 80 degrees, the more light the more food the plant makes. look up the are your lights cover and then you'll know how many plants you can grow with the lights you have.

"lol over 80F is fine.anything can be acclimated"

I highly disagree. A plant will slow its growth at 80 and will stop growing at 85 and will start dieing at 90 degrees, acclimate that.

since you rang!!!


ill answer!!!

you n00bs need to put away the damn growing books and get some damn experience.

btw, if a plant slows growth @ 80F, stops growing @ 85F and starts to die @ 90F....tell me Mister Know-it-all, why are some (if not MOST) of the dankest most trichrome covered weed come from places around the equator?

get a few crops under ya belt and then you may attempt to try and 'sass' me




now what does my thermo say?

Lol there's a reason for that! At 85 degrees the plant goes into protective mode and stops growing. I do my best to stay at 75, I even switched from mh to T-5s in veg, One of the best moves I made.:bigjoint:
