you can get real stackd up nice nodes if you start with smaller lights and work up.its easier to just veg for a few weeks with the 1ks and blow them up.but i agree with using a t5 right ontop of them for some strains it realy makes those nodes stack tightly which is what we want if were going to flower them smaller(colasickels) but if your going for the flip the lights when there up to your nutsack in the room the bottom third is kind of a waste accept for clones cause its gonna get lolliepoped

hi im growing for the first time I am planning to grow 1 plant under 2x 600w mh/hps how long do I have to veg I read that if u use more light per plant u have to veg more weeks to get bigger results in harvest and I also want to use co2 tank but I am not sure is that co2 tank used for growing same as people use in the kitchen natural gas?

I wouldn't worry about the Co2. If you have 2 x 600 watt bulbs to grow one plant, then yield shouldn't be an issue.

If you're growing from clone, then I would say 4 weeks or so veg should land you a big plant when it's all said and done. Don't be afraid to use a large bucket. At least 10 gallons+.

edit: I would hang those lights vertically too.

I was initially intending in doing 6 weeks for vegging & 6 for flowering .. I read up tho tht 8 weeks & i should expect a bigger return on the plants which does make sense, ive read else were tho tht it may nt make a noticable difference?

Depending on the strain it's about the best way but people forget that 8 weeks of veg doesn't include germination period and sprouting. I go by 8 week from second set of leaves for my 8 weeks of veg. Then at 7 weeks I start keeping eye on the tricombs. 100% cloudy for me. Some like to let go till they mix cloudy and amber. Cell phone best by taking a pic and using the zoom imo works the best. Goodluck

Naturall has not the same. 1 plant per 300 watts best.
