How many lights to use?

[Bruda1001]

Looking to plant a lot of feminized female plants. Can someone tell me if using MH lights for veg then HPS for flowering stage is good? and How much can one 600w light cover? and what’s the recommended distance between plants

400Mh for veg and 600HPS for flower you’ll be happy in a 4X4
If you want bigger you’ll need more light
2-4 plants in a 4X4 you can fit more you just can’t veg long

You have 5 different threads all with one question just post them all here

yes you can

obviously a 600w will return you more bud per plant, but a 400w will give you a nice return.
what are you planning, soil hydro?

If you want some real good advice? Start small. Learn how to care for and successfully get a few plants to harvest while healthy throughout. Then progress to a larger grow. GL.

Highly (pun intended as I’m high as a kite right now) recommend what twentyeight said.

Helps in several ways. Plus if you end up giving up, you won’t have too much invested. Seen this happen a few times to friends. Dump X amount and just give up because they can’t figure out how to grow. Easier to eat that cost if you don’t have several grand wrapped up in your first setup.

When your beginning like the two guys above have said, keep it small, when you learn to have one plant be good then move up, the words above are gold.

What do you mean alot? Some that would be 2 plants other 2000. So to gauge what you'll need we kind of need to know what you mean by a lot.
