How many Watts to flower this BIG Mamma? 3 gal coco hempy bucket (pics)

[stuckinabeat]

Hey everyone,

I had a delay and couldnt flower this plant when i needed too due to circumstances. She is in a 3 gal coco hempy bucket, been vegging for about 3 months. Can anyone tell me what kind of watts i will need to flower this girl adequately? I'm not used to dealing with such big plants.

Thanks

150W hps would do it

150W hps would do it

a 400w would be better though.

Well an 1000W would be best but hell...I figured if he's just planning on that one plant

I have a 600 hps and a 400 hps, both adjust-a-wings, but my plants got a lit bigger than normal this time. I can fit 7 under my 600 wich covers about 3.5 x 5' area. 4 are very large like this one and 3 are medium, but canopy is very full and just hoping the light will penetrate enough. I have a 6 x 6 tent that i might put in use. i think with those two lights i should be able to flower a good 12 plants in there

::fingers crossed::

Also any ideas on what you could pull of her with a 400 hps?

from what he said its not flowering yet, so that plant is gonna get alot bigger than it is now. tbh i dont think a 150w or 250w for flowering a plant 2.5-3 times bigger than it is now would penetrate enough and really thicken up the buds.

sounds like you got it under control.

a 600,by it self on her would do you right,only time will tell what you get.
600 and 400, 12 plants is very good,imo.

hard to give her too much light.
