Default 400W HPS Light help
permalink
I bought a sun systems 400w hps light for a room that was going to be 10 square feet. Well, I used another area and it has 13.5 sqaure feet in it.

Will my 400w hps bulb be enough light to fill this room with 10 plants? I could buy another and put this in my veg room, but really wanted to just get t5's for clones and veg em with that.

should I buy a 600w hps and throw it in the room with 13.5 square feet and move the 400W'r in the veg room? should I just throw in some cfl's for more more lumens? any help would be much apprerciated....

need help...

a 400w watt wont do 10 decent sized plants.
a 600w is better for 10 plants tho.
Id stick with the t5s for clones and veg so it'll be easier to keep them short while the others flower.
