Hi people.
I have a grow at the moment consisting of 9 plants all doing well, 4 of them are in a hydroponic system and 5 in pots (Not enough room in hydro) I currently have a 600watt sodium bulb above them. when I first did a grow I had 8 plants again with a 600w sodium above them and they yielded around 9 Ounce all together, for me not enough.

I am considering getting another 600w sodium for the grow as I have just put them on flowering so not too late (I Hope) which would then mean I have 1200w above them. Will that give me a much larger yield? I would be a happy man if I can somehow bring in a Kilo to keep me going for the year

Or shall I just stick with 600w and save my money???

Please.....HELP!!

Yeah I woudl love to site address, So I take it if I did get another 600w then I would get a larger yield?
and I'm unaware what cfl etc means can you please explain? All I know is that sodium bulbs are really good

cheers and looking forward to your reply!!

Sounds good I'm liking the prices of the CFL's if I have a 600w Sodium in the middle of the grow and say maybe two 125w CFL's, one either side of the sodium bulb do you wreckon it would increase the yield?

You don't need one per plant I would say you wouild need one in a moderate size grow room, Use your noggin, if the room is massive then get a few in, if only growing in a small cupboard then one could do it.
