Hey everyone welcome to the high wattage thread. I've been poking through here and haven't found a thread like this but please let me know if one already exists. I know that when I'm looking for info on here I look for threads that are environmentally similar to my grow but they're often hard to find because I run 3400w in a 15x10 space. I'm trying to get a collection of HWG(high wattage growers) to join up and give tips and info on these BIG, BADD systems. From construction, electrical, and cooling techniques, to dealing with equally BIG yields and everything in between. So come on boys and girls let the info flow and show us what you got!

im in on this one and subbed, hope this one takes off too should be fun. im running 2400 watts of hps in flower the room size is 13x17x8 but the platform i built for the plants to sit on to keep them off the carpet is 12x7. here are a few pics the smaller ladies in the ebb and grow system where transplanted to the system in early flower from my prior sog system (flood and drain tables) so they where not vegged long next run should be better for sure.

thanks man yours looks great too, my ceilings are 9' the white widow is doing good im hoping she will hit the 12 to 16 oz mark she was vegged for 8 weeks and topped twice so she has got branches everywhere. here are a few more pics she has grown since that pic. also just ordered some green house super critical and they are supposed to have amazing yields so if i dont hit that mark this time around soon i will lol.

Hey sudynim, I'm glad I can take part in your thread. I may have a friend adding some equipment to my grow and adding two more rooms as well. If this happens my grow will be 1000w x 5... crossing fingers!! I'll update more later. I'm going back to bed :)

hell ya guys! I think 600s r the way to go anyway, with enclosed hoods and the proper air flow u can lower ur lights right on to p or ur canopy (10-16") allowing max penetration without the temp issues! Of course if u have 1000w lights u can cover more space with a higher output of initial lumens to degrade over distance. I do 3 girls in a 3x3 per light. Some ppl swear by the 1000w i am a 600w man myself. lol But Id love to see some pics!
