hello fellow growers, I finally got enough patients to care give for 200 plants and have never used the 1000watt system. I am growing using ebb and flow and am wondering how many 1000watt units i would need for a grow like that? also about how high above the plants do you place those lights from the top of the plants? your help is greatly appreciated. :weed:

How tall are the plants you're planning to grow? SOG is probably your best bet considering the size of the grow.
I was thinking 4 ft per plant finished. If i did a SOG would i just do trays and have a drip line feed 4-6 times a day?

ebb worries me for the amount of water and nutrients i would need to keep going. they sell a 244 pot kit with 7 55 gal res ( thats a ton of water to be pumping)

haha ya I made the materials list and just needed the final thoughts on lighting. I was thinking 25 1000w Digital lights. that would give me enough room for expansion to 250 plants when i get more patients. I was thinking 10 plants per 1000w.

i HAVE to ask, how is your rep red??
Its red because i told america that their weed wasnt as good as BCs weed haha. I think he should do a 6 lighter, 200 isnt enough for 8 lights. I have 150 under 5 1000s. you dont need more that 6 to get 200. But 4 footers on trays? good luck.

if you use light movers you can get away with way less.. depends on how big your pockets go pimp.. I have seen 23 1000's yes 23000 watts on 15 plants.. so you do the math,..
