    Lighting...your thoughts

    im wondering the same thing..... sounds like TONS of light for the amount of plants you have....... how big is the growing area? do you know the strain of the plant?... seeds come from a 14' mother?

    400W HPS is perfect for you to flower under then. Less heat to worry about than the 600W. Keep to about 1sq/ft per plant 15 plants max. and you'll be very happy.
