5 plants in a 1 meter square area? That is a lot of vegetation(cramped?), if you don't keep them short. At that point you are on the bleeding edge of coverage, especially when in flower. IMO, if I had a 3'x3' box/tent, I would use at least a 400W light, but don't let me discourage you, from using what you have. Maybe reduce the plant count to 2-3, and use fast flowering autos. Good growing!👍

Auto and regular plants in one box.I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

600w hps Wouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?

Anyone have any history with vibrating HPS lamps? Mine keeps making a buzzing/rattling noise. I’m thinking it’s the metal inside rattling on the glass so if I slightly rotate it it may stop? What do you think? Thanks!

Cloning area lighting I have a 4x4 tent that has 2 plants growing, and 1/4 of it I wanna create a little box that light cant get out if for clones to grow, and set an LED in there. If I take clones, set my main plants to flower, takes 4-6 weeks, how much light is needed for the clones to survive?

LEDs Please help me understand LEDs as mains. Same amount of money I can run double the plants and produce larger sticky buds with hps/mhl combo. I was always under impression LEDS are a just a better florescent.

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?) Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?

at the moment I'm using a 250W HPS and 2 40W CFL, this takes humidity down. When I will afford LEDs do you think that the humidity will stay as per night or drop down like maximum 10% or it will have same behavior as with hps/cfl combo? Thanks
