Hi everyone needed some advice on lighting I have 7 auto flowers growing they are half way threw flowering I have 3 hlg 100 lights on them and they are doing well. Now I have hps 1000 watt lights do you think I should put the 1000 watt hps light in their and take out the 3 hlg light out?] They are on day 53 prob be done in 80days I figure. Should I let them go or would it really increase my yield with the 1000 watthps if it's not going to make a big differance then I will just continue finishings grow with the 3 hlgs. What does everyone think it's actually 4 autos and 3 feminised all in same closet. Need good advice thanks

Your a little underpowered on light with the 3 hlg, 6 would be better but 1000 HP's would be overkill, how bigs your grow space

Space? Three plants could be in a 5x5 or 3x3 for all we know.
Generally you'll want around 30-40w per square foot.
A single 1000w HPS should cover a 5x5 by itself whereas a 700w LED will cover the same footprint roughly.

that's the right side left left. Side has 2 autos and 2 feminised blue dream the 3 on left side I think are okay maybe little underpowered bit the right side only has 1 hlg they all about 55 days in already been flowering for 3 weeks now. Should I just finish or add the 1000watt HPS

Okay I put the 100055 watt hps in their seem to like it didn't have room to add my inline and carbon filter but the small ac unit I have in their keeps Temps in check. I use my dehumidifier to help humidity at 35 to 40 percent so their is 3 auto flower blue dream on left and 2vmore auto flowers with 3 feminised blur dreams on right I have 1000 watt hps going in now. Now about height they are roughly 15 -20 inches from tops. I do have the one on right growing taller then other that is a little close 10inches from top. Maybe have to bend and train the top of the one because light can't go any higher

Also they are 30-38 inches tall 55 days I believe 850ppm 6.1 ph using Lucas method with some cal mag and little hydro guard. Right now it's 72F. 44%humidity

Next time train those babies like the one in front of the lanky tall one so you can get light closer
