im thinking of doing this instead of the 1 -1000watt oldschool ballast the area is less than 5x5. is this not the thing to do cuz of uneveness of light. even if they are side by side covering such a small area?????
thats the best you could hope for in that amount of space especially. good luck they should grow like..........well like weeds.. any pics of the set up?
I have try those setup, the best thing with that is to rotate le lamp each days for give all colors to the plants. Now i prefer to use an hybrid lamp for use only 1 ballasts and don't have to move everything each days. You can buy and USHIO HYBRYD LAMPS, it's a 1000w that fit in existent 1000w ballast but inside the lamp bulb you have a 600w hps and a 400w mh under the same hood, the best mixture...This is the link for the lamp on the manufacturer website...http://www.ushio.com/products/horticulture/hiluxgro.htm
