For OPTIMAL YIELD is it reasonable to have five(5) plants per 1000watt HPS lamp? Will there be enough light for each of the 5 plants in the space provided by each light? Would you recommend fewer plants per light? Should I add another 1000 Watt light and go 4 plants per light? Would the difference in yield be worth the added costs of the extra light (hood/lamp/ballast/electricity)?
- OR -
Going the opposite direction, is five 1000 Watt Lights for 25 plants overkill? Could I even increase it to 6 plants per light without it affecting the yield or the other 5 plants? What is the cut-off point of diminishing returns?
I'm definitely going for top shelf high quality and high yield, but don't want to waste money unnecessarily either. Thanks in advance for the knowledge!
Necessary Info: 25 plants (Indica OG Kush), soil grow, well ventilated, (5) 1000 Watt HPS Lamps, CO2 generator
