I've got a 4ft wide x 8 ft long x 6.5ft tall grow tent that is currently holding a 1000 watt light dimmed to 600w as the plants are still under a foot at the moment.
I'm running dwc 5 gal buckets and am housing 6 plants. Right now the buckets are next to one another but in a couple weeks I plan on spreading them throughout the tent so they are evenly spaced while occupying the whole floor space of the tent, and then finally applying my scrog net.
In order to get the best efficiency would it be best to add a second HID light? Would I have very uneven growth considering the plants near the edges of the scrog won't be nearly as close to the light?
If I add a second light should it be another 1000w light and have each covering a separate half of the tent? I'm really wanting to maximize the efficiency of my grow space and if the benefits of adding a second light would outweigh the electrical cost that it would impose, I most definitely want to go this route. Also if suggesting an additional light should I use both lights during veg and flower or only during flower? If during veg should I use mh/mh or mh/hps? what about flower mh/hps or hps/hps?
Really hoping to get this figured out before I start the Scrog net, thanks!!
