What do you think about a 1000 watt hps bulb for vegetative growth, 600 watt hps bulb for the first month of flowering, and a 1000 watt hps bulb for the last month of flowering?
HELP!!! Is 1000 watt hps bulb good?

I personally dont go under 600w hps. I use 1k mostly, but if you have a small setup I would say go for a 400w hps. The idea is to have 50 per square foot. Find out your space dimensions, and how many plants you can fit without crowding. If your only gonna grow 2 plants, you should just invest in a 400 or a 600... You'll upscale eventually anyway, why not have it already??

1-2 plants would work well under a 250w hps veg/flower
if using 11ltr pots and doing a basic grow, any more is just a wast
