How much light

Hi all, how big of a metal halide lamp do I need to keep my 2 mother plants in veg stage? They are 2' tall. Thanks. Cybro :bigjoint:

1 1000w Mh will penetrate 21 inches of foliage
but a couple of small mh bulbs will do the trick as well.

I would go with no less than 150 watts of MH.

400 watts o power is what you need for plants o that size cybro especialy if they are recovering from cloning

Perfect. I was going to say 400 watts but everyone here seems to be a CFL freak. HID baby and grow better bud than fucked up CFL kiddie systems.

I say you should just get a HO FLURO for you're mother and clones.... all the moms need...

use the MH for veg growth....
