Just curious as to whether you guys think 2 Stink Bud systems for a total of 28 plants is too much under a single 600w HPS.

It sounds like a lot to me but Im just wondering.

Its a 600w with EasyCool 8 reflector in a grow tent thats 7' x 5' x 7'

Thanks.

600w should work well with 4'x4' area and you shouldn't exceed 5'x5' so it depends on how big each system would be. I think it would work fine.

Personally, I'd use (1) 600w light per 12 plants. I know a few people who do it like this or with a 1000w HPS. But work with what ya got man.

If you can fit the two systems in a 4'x4' or a 5'x5' space then you should be A-OK

it also means for the win, which is what I think he meant.

I guess ill just go with one StinkBud system then, as i do not want to have to use a light rail, as this is my first grow and am not trying to make it unnecessarily complicated.

Thanks all.

Edit: If I can fit them, wont the dense amount of branches in the small space block a lot of the light, im planning on SCROGing it.

light movers are not complicated at all. It will double your grow space without having to buy another light, deal with more heat, and more elec usage. I got dense ass buds using my mover. But I can understand if it is too much to start with. But before you expand, check out the light movers.

yep not fuck the world....
for the win!

and yes, im sure you dont want to mess with it, but why not. it makes the best use of your existing system... for less than you can purchase another light/ballast/hood setup.... it is my best investment so far.
please dont be a typical "stoner" and shy away from somthing because it takes a few mins. honestly i get high as i can and then do the work. (i am a bit more saavy then the avg bear) so i can reccommend this but hey it works for me =)

i wish someone was ranting like this about them last year when i started up... i would have a happier wallet

I realize the benefits of a light mover, but only using 1 System, I see no need for one. I decided on one system of 14 plants instead two, because its my first grow, and I would like to keep it from becoming unnecessarily complicated.

Next time I do expand, (which might be the whole room next time), I will use two 600w HPS on light rails and motors.

Thanks all.
