1. Anyone know much about generators, I need one that will run 9,000 watts. I found a few 4 sale, but all of them where overkill.

2. I read some where that all HPS lights are not created the same. And some are better equiped for the vegging stage then others. I would prefere to veg and flower off HPS, rather the metal halid and then hps for flower.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for what brand of HPS is good for this?

Also from experience do you guys find vegging for 24 hours is better then 18/6 because anything longer then 18 hours. I have read you really just get deminishing returns.

Thanks,

Try High Tech Garden Supply He has the enhanced bulb you are looking for in
(I believe) all his lights.
Peace

PS what your doing sounds interesting.......getting large??

no veggin all day and night. and as far as generators 9000watt generator is a big en.... you need to look at amps and how many breakers it has. even most 6500 watt generators can still only make 18-22 amps 120v and 40-50 220v
however they usually have one breaker limiting you to X number of 120 amps

Are you worried the hps will use a lot of electricity? Whats the deal with the generator?

I have not fully decided on how many lights yet, If I go over 20 600 watt HPS. Then I will probably use a generator.

THanks

20 600w hps SHIT! BIG ROOM!

If you have that much money, and need that much light, why not use the sun? Install sky lights, or better yet.....sun tunnels. It would be free and you can still add some, abit less though, grow lights to supplement.
I like the sun tunnel idea.
Peace

Well its not sunny that often in Oregon...

well you know your looking @ 140 amps for the lights alone. that converted to KwH is 4480 here in my city thats 640 a month. how are you cooling this space. you got alot of thinking to do

and thats based on only 12 hours of use @ residental/ light commercial prices
