so i just picked up another hps system.
my grow room/style info:
ocean forest soil, ff nutes, 5 gallon pots (currently), 2 600w hid systems (one mh, one hps).
im looking to find out how many plants (in which size gallon pot) will work best under 2 600w systems with the key goal being the best grams per watt average as possible.
originally i figured 12 would be enough but now i think it may be too many as im struggling for room with the 5 i have flowering under my system now. i trained them into bushes so space became an issue...height isnt.
so more plants in smaller pots or less plants in bigger pots? how many? what size? etc.
any help appreciated.
and for your enjoyment....my bushs 20 something days into flowering (all under one 600w hps with 23w cfls in the middle for side/underside lighting.)
would it be worth is to spread these 5 plants out between 2 600w hps systems now or would it not have too much of an effect on yield at this point (they are fast finishers...52-56 days indoors)
to do...or not to do? ($$$ is an issue right now so id rather not hook up the new hps now unless u guys think it would be better for me to or not)
thanks
