Im veging under a 1000w MH after plants get past the t5 fluro stage...
and then ive got a grow room with a 1000w hps reflector... but i want to get away from the reflectors and go vertical.
my gut says tons of 400s is the most efficient way to go, and deliver light as evenly as possible...
however, ive been told that 1000 wat bulbs make denser buds regardless...
so should i average the 2 and go 600s?
i plan on getting as many as it takes...
the 400's i could get 5 and have about the same watts used as 2 1000's
the 600's i could have 3 and have same watts as 2 1000's
so, i think im leaning towards 600's to average the 2 ideals, and also worried 1000's might burn plants.
right now my 1000 is turning leaves a bit yellow that are directly under reflactor, and all the rest of leaves in the room are deep green.
im wondering tho, if my nutes were more concentrated... would this make up for the yellowing leaves? Obviously i cant do it right now or all other plants would suffer...
but if being able to put 1000's close to plants and being able to cure the leaves yellowing somehow... then maybe id consider 1000's as well.
dont worry about heat, ill have a vacuum line above each light. Im not going to go cool tubes tho because every lense a light travels thru steals energy.
