Hello everybodyy!!!!

SO! i am trying to a different method this go round. im going from 7 gal smart pots in roots organic soil with master schedule (which came out VERY nice) 4-5oz a plant, i was impressed with the smart pots. I have switched to my made supersoil and base roots organic into 15 gallon pots!!!!! Hoping to grow trees not plants :weed:! I have been training them (LST) and it is AWESOME, seriously its so cool! the stem is thick the shoots are everywhere and its low and spread out like a bonsai! i will take pictures tonight when i re-tie the branches to open them up.

SPECS:
7x7x7 grow tent
1000w Hortilux bulb x 2
Magnum 6xxxl reflector x 2
6inch inline fan
Galaxy digital ballast x2
Supersoil
Top feed when water
but i also (I tried flooding the trays last week and fully submerged the bottom half of the pots for 10 minutes and let the pots wick the water up but idk? what do you guys think about that with soil, am drowning the roots?)

My plants are at 10 weeks in veg and I'm going to go 12 weeks then switch to 12/12 i have 2 fire headband and 2 OG Kush. Looking very healthy!
I'm predicting these plants are going to MASSIVE ! but thats why im doing the LST method to keep them low.

My question is in the 7x7x7 tent is one 1000w hortilux bulb in the xxxl magnum reflector sufficient lighting for all four plants throughout flowering? or would it be best to run both. if i run one light i can maintain temp under 80, but if both are on i cant seem to get it lower than 85 (i dont plan on turning the other on until i go 12/12......

The more light the merrier :) if you can fit it i dont see why not but also one should also do you decent haha and possibly get another exhaust that is on same switch as other light :) ? idk

i dont know how big 7x7x7 is. It does not look that big. The minimum you need for 2x 1000W bulbs is 3 square meters. The more light the merrier is bullshit. But I have heard the more nutes the merrier too

7x7 is just over 4 m2. Going by the minimum space rule you just made up, he/she will be all set.

As long as you can keep those temps in check, certainly fire both.
