    How much do you think I'll yield?

    i have 2 600w hps in a 4.5foot x 4.5 foot room. about 9200 lumen per square foot. in your room your getting about 1500 lumen per square foot. you will not end up with anything. lumen per square feet is an important number. take the total lumens your lights put out and divide by the square...

    bigger yields?

    are you guys getting bigger yields from: a crop of many small plants or a crop of a few bigger plants?

    Opinions please...

    fox farms makes good ferts. Ive had great success with them. I started with a 250w hps, and it will grow a pretty solid plant but when i switched to mh bulb it made a world of difference. Shorter fat plants with way more bud sites. Anyway regaurdless of with brand ferts you use stay with organics.
