You need to read up homie, no one is going to tell you how to grow but will tell you what i'd do in your situation But 60 under doing a SOG style grow with four 1000 watters is good, 15 under each will do fine but will get cramped so veg for around 2 weeks. (assuming you didn't stunt the growth) How tall are they right now?

its kind a funny how I used a month or more doing research, reading forums and grow guides, watching videos on youtube for hours, even tho I had some past experience with outdoor growing, before I even began to look at lights and bought a 600W and then keep seeing people in here with hugh set ups and next to no knowledge's on how to grow (no offend) but all that money invested in gear and all the power you will use kind a demand atleast a few days of research..

and did you consider a trail run, before throwing yourself out in managing 60 plants with what works that follow

best of luck

But not 60...maybe 60 one foot tall plants....I'd grow 2 montsers per light...8 plants

Exactly.....first time grower should start small, as most will have some kind of issues/problems that will impact the grow

.....so IMHO, keep it small and simple until you learn the tricks of the trade

Exactly. If this is your first grow I would assume you're going to end up with a couple of reggie plants. That's way too much work for little to no studying. I studied for 4-5mo before I purchased 1 thing. And even then I still felt underequiped with knowledge.

Sounds to me like you just want us to help you grow big so you can flip lbs out your trap. No thanks. I don't perpetuate horrible quality grows.

But if you want to learn and do it the right way, come back. There's lots of help here

they look good!

jealous of your wattage bro!

just be a little cautious, 4 1000w makes a big spike in an electric bill.

you wouldnt want to veg very long with that many plants, given the size they r now, id say a few more days to another week.

just my opinion.

Do your research bro, the more you know and all that.

good luck, and keep us posted

I had a buddy of mine running 8- 600 watters, 2 inline fans, a dehumid and an AC.... cranked his bill to just shy of a grand a month... that was 4800 watts and we live in MI.... wherever you live though it will be substantial and if youre in an illegal state look out!! They train employees to catch these spikes and local authorities often give them rewards for a bust!! Just a word of caution

Not sure on your setup but you most likely need ac. Those lights are gonna make a ton of heat.

I would do more research if I were you. You might end up with less than stellar results and lose money and waste time if your room and environment is out of wack.
