Hey ladies and gents. . . Well to clarify it up a little bit, My grow is gonna be SOG. . . Plan on harvesting a decent amount every 3 weeks... My grow method will be Flood and Drain (diy), and more than likely the plants won't reach over 2 feet tall, TOPS. . . .

Now for the original question.. For this grow, I was planning on using 2: 600w hps lamps for a grow area about 4ft x 14 ft. . . But I'm thinking I may need to go ahead and get a 3rd one???... Money is no issue, don't get me wrong, but running 1800+ watts with just lights will definitely have the electric company curious . . . So just let me have your opinions if you could, Because if it the extra light is really worth it then I'll get it, but if it's not necessary then Ill stick with the 2. lol. Let me know guys !

Btw if you took the time to open the thread you should take the time to answer this simple question. :-o

1800 Watts for 4 X 14 doesn't seem like enough to me. I run 2000 in a 4 X 8 space for one of my flower rooms and it's almost not enough!

Click to expand...

Well Those dimensions I gave are just an estimate.. I havent gotten all the materials in hand yet so Im not 100% sure on how much space it will actually take up... Could be less.... I actually intend it to be less but just gave a little larger to be safe... But looks like Ill go with a 3rd light :) ... Im sure the girls would like it anyways.. Might as well treat em with some love. thanks guys.
