right now i have about 40 plants going. some are in flower and will be done in 20 or so days. the rest are 6 weeks old now and have been in flower for a week.
im wondering whats pushing the limits...
in one spot i have like 25 plants under a 600 with 3 4 ft t8 floros. im also using a 100 watt hps to add to the side lighting. and im getting full light penetration.
in another spot i have 15 under a 400 with a 4 ft floro and a 100 watt hps for side light.
im groing in 2 gallon bags and someone told me id never get that many plants gooing with the lights i have , but they seem to be doing well.
so i have 15 in a 3 by 3 under 500hps and 2 floros 4 ftrs
in the other spot i have in a 6 by 6 room i built the other 25 under 700 watts hps and a few floro t9 4 ftrs. am i pushing it , should i move the other 15 into the 6 by 6 and hang all 1200 watts hps and the 6 floros i have? what do you guys think?

the majority of your plants looked pretty stretched. only you can really judge how many you can put under your lights, it depends on the size of your foot-print.
 
i have 4 in flower, a mother and 14 clones under 393 watts of CFL red spectrum. not a single complaint from any of the plants
 
k jord i will try and answer if i was you i would put then all in the same room with all the hps. If they all fit in a 6x6 if not mind need to expand :) keep updated
 
I have:

6 plants under 400 watt MH/ HPS.
12 clones under 240 watts of fluoro tubes
and 5 seedlings also under 240 tubes

:)
 
Are these plants more Sativa or indica they might not be streched at all i dont think they are seem very Sativa and other not so much nice plants they should do fine whatcha feeding them?
 
hey man wuts up.. so still have the 2 different hps lamps in different rooms? Im runnin the 400 and the 600 right next 2 each other over a 7' x 3.5 foot area (hps) w/ 12 girls under
 
flower room 6 plants under a 1000wtt HPS and my veg room any where from 6 to 12 lplants under a 400wtt MH soon to add another 400wtt MH
