I have 7 trees.... 4 babies and 3 2ft tall girls, all have been vegging under a 600 MH...

I just was given a 1000 HPS, so I wanted to put the 3 big girls into flower with the 1000 and 600 and keep the 4 babies in veg with floros....Can I do this???

Thanks

a 1000 watt is plenty for 2 plants if im reading rightand yes flouros work great for veg no need to add the 600.
i think a 1k can flower up to 8 plants easy

yeah but i figure if i flower 3 big plants with 1600 watts in total, i figure ill have a huge yield.

this is my first grow so correct me if im wrong, im just trying to achieve less plants + more lighting

youll be fine..

I switched from MH to Fluorescents.

I am using 2000watts for 6 plants.

I now have 8 plants under fluorescents that used to be under fluorescents first then 1000w for a month then 2000w for two weeks and now back to fluorescents.

For a large yield you will need to have your plants in large pots. Any thing over 3 gallon ( 15 liters ) will highley increase yield. What pot are you in now???

Im in 9 gallon pots and im expecting the worst but hoping for the best if you know what i mean. Some pic's would be good too.

True. Well, being that I am doing hydroponics, DWC, my plants are in 5 gallon buckets. 6 weeks into veg. Post pics in a bit
