What to do with my 2 1000w mh/hps cool tubes?

well you will definitely get a lot of bud. quality all depends on you. expect some big colas with those.

have to love when someone says that!!!! gets me excited

haha well with only two plants under one 1000 watter you are going to have to expect BIG things.

also my main pic is my cloning chamber, I have 2 46w cfls and 4 24" t12 grow bulbs

Unfortunately I learned way too fast to be practical lol, I overdid some things but better now then when I want to expand I guess

Leave it to the noob to invest in 2K watts of lighting and have no idea what they've got. You've pretty much hit the apex of indoor grow lights. Take advantage of the light intensity and go bigger. That much power in such a small space is such a waste, IMO. Otherwise, keep up the learning!

just a waste on two plants. plants can only yield so much compared to the wattage you are getting.

This is what I mean. By growing only two plants with that many watts in that small of a space, there is no way you can reach the potential of what a 1K HID light can do.

so you suggest moving into the two closets? 2x8' and 3x5'?

Which closet would be better utilized for what purpose?

The shorter closet for Veg, and the taller one for Flower.

thats width and depth not height both are 8' tall roughly

put the two cooltubes in the 2x8 and use cfls for veg in the other. you could fit prob 6-8 plants in the flower closet there. prob yield close to 4 lbs, maybe more.

What size should I veg too? my cfl closet doesnt have much space

4-6 weeks and top for four main colas. you can always add more cfls to accommodate more space

you dont think i should use one of the 1000 w to veg? in the other closet?

nah. if you have the money get a 400w or a 600w. a 1000 watt to veg is kindof a waste. are you wanting a veg and a flower room?

I figure that would be the best way to have a continuous yield

well not continuous but faster yields. then yes either cfls or get a 400-600 watt MH. a 400 would run about 200 with aircooled hood.

Ok so I mounted the 1000w cool tube in the 3x5 closet I have 8 1/2 ft clearance from floor to cool tube when it is in its highest setting.
