Just starting

I have never grown this plant i will be getting 2 1000w hps lights. Next week i dont want to overwhelm myself to start...my question is how many plants can i put under 1 light. If I use soil do i need nutrients of i use supersoil or should I just go hydro ....i will start with 3 fem seeds and 3 auto flower both under the 2 lights....please remember im new to this dont be to hard on me i might be bugging you guys a lot.....thanks for any help

If u can manage hydro setup ( and can take proper care of it) then go for it, personally its too complicated for me. If you grow in soil, you dont need nutes for atleast 1 week ( depends on soil) especially dont stress your autos. Give 1/2 recommended nutes to autos. Personally when i see a little bit of yellowing on bottom leaves thats when i start giving nutes. Dont hang lights too close( biggest problem i have). As for the watering, be careful with autos, cus its easy to overwater them (my plants tend to lower leaves when they need to water).
Good luck i hope this helped

Supersoils only need a little boost of dry amendment during flower. Two 1000w lights is a lot to start out with, you know you can easily get 2-3 pounds off a single 1000w light right? Are you growing in a tent? How are you dealing with the heat from the lights? Got a dehumidifier?

I find 10-12 autos to fit pretty well under a 1000w unless they are XL strains then its anyones guess some of those fuckers get HUGE.

example of what a 1000w can do with proper conditions

Open room no tent still have only 1 light 2nd light is backordered room is 10X12 I already burned 2 of my babies but they are coming back to life as fat as humidity I live in Vegas I have water heating up under my light for that finally got my humidity at 35% usually below 20. I'll need a swamp cooler for the room just waiting on this power bill

Are those autos in the pic...and thank you all for your time and advice I have learned sooo much
