How many Plants under a 400 watt HPS???

What is the max amount of plants i can have under a 400 watt hps. I have enough room for 10 but i'm thinkin just 4 or maybe 6. Any suggestions? i have them in individual buckets.

How big are they? I'd recommend putting about 4-6 plants under a 400W HPS, anymore and the other plants on the side won't get the necessary amount of light they need, which meand they'll eventually stretch to get light. Have you looked into getting a 1000W?

1 week old. clones. ya i thought about it but this is my first indoor so i kinda want to start small and get the hang of it, then move on to bigger better things. i see what you mean though, very true. Thanks

Dude nice quote too! hilarious!

Thanks bro. Check out my outdoor guerilla grow that me and my buddy are running.
I love my quote Best quote ever and I made it up lol

Im using a 400 watt hps right now with 6 plants and the are all doing awsome
They are in a grow box and the base dementions are 4 feet by 6 feet and 4 feet high.
I started flowering with one week old clones.
Im gona try doeing 8 plants on my next running using a trellus system.

ya i have 3 plants going now but vegged them for way too long now i have swamp monsters in my closet lol....but like the first guy said it really depends on the size of the plants and keep in consideration that you want the light to get good canopy penetration so that lower buds get enough light as well... also I have a growlab 120 in the mail so i think that will increase the potential of the 400w since i am currently operating out of a small closet w/ no mylar

also rotating plants in circles and also rotating the order of the plants (moving outside plants inside/ vice versa) will help to prevent uneven growth of the outside plants, probably an obvious statement but im high and it sounded helpful haha

Nice, Thanks definitly. I'm gonna veg for about 2 more weeks or so. Right on laxstar, sounds good! I'm gonna go with 4 for now and see how it turns out. All the clones are between 55-65 days of flowering too so that help a lil. Thats true Mr. S&H, i rotate my plants twice a day to get every part its share.

Keep it up! Are you going to put any pics up?

Yeah for sure. i actually already have pics up on other posts and my journal. check em out!!
