I would go with a 150W HPS if you want however in the case if you think you want to do more than 2 then you should get a 250W HPS

WE might if you would quit posting the same question in multiple forums.

Is your Question that important ?

If so read the GrowFaq and get the answer.

So you can only do one plant under 150 watt HPS ?

How many can you do under 250 ?

Do you think it's better to get a 400 if he only does one plant ?

Can he get his stuff from Attitude ?

ya dude, GrowTech is right.
and im not pro. dont learn from me. i just dont go cheap with anything. i use the most light (lumins) as possible. many growers disagree but i never go cheap with my shit. a 1000w hps bulb works well for me and i only have 2 plants

He's bitching because you felt your 1 questions condoned multiple posts. It's annoying. You might not plan on being here, but I think the best responses to whichever qestions you might have are easily stored in one thread.


Just don't make duplicate threads :)

Just a note, cannabis has an optimum lumen range. So be careful to not overdo it, otherwise you're just wasting money.

I'm sorry, you are right. Here is what you need.

I would get a 70 HPS, don't listen to everybody telling you that you need more. Here is the fixture you need.

Buy Lumark 70 Watt HPS Falcon Floodlight

That will do up to 12 plants. You should be good for awhile. Getting the 150 HPS is just wasting electric.

Plus you won't have to worry about heat or the cops flying over with infrared.

I can find several posts recommending the new UFO LED lights, you really might look into them, sounds like you are one of those people that would like that sort of thing.

I got a 1000 watt too and it is the shit! I have only four plants right now but under that thing they just take off! I just put them into flowering and they are probably 20 inches or so. Its a sweet light, set me back 280 bucks, but it works well and im glad i got it.

if you're looking for answers on the prices of lights you should go to htgsupply.com I think they have them for 100 bucks for a 250 watt metal halide or hps, but its a good setup. I think they have the best deals you can find. Or go to ebay and try to find one, there are good deals out there, you just have to look around for a little while. It took me a couple weeks then i finally found one that suited me.

And if you're looking for seeds, dope-seeds.com is the place to go
