How is that 1000W HPS/MH I have the same light but veg with the T5 30k lumen because of the electricity bill... One thing I will say though is that 1000W HPS is kick ass in flower.. fat buds !!

i ran 2 1000s and ill take 3 600s over the 2 1000s any day of the week. keep in mind that you get more distribution of light and can place the 600s far closer to the plant than a 1000w bulb, thus more lumens to your plant.hers the lumens for a 1000, 1 foot from bulb is 140,000 2 feet away is 35,000 3 feet away is 15,555 and 4 feet is 9999. the 600 is, 1 foot away 90,000 lumens 2 feet away 22,500 3 feet away 9,999 and 4 feet away is 6428. now keep in mind that most people who run 1000s keep the lights 2 to 3 feet above the colas. i can place my 600s as close as 6 inches and still see temps below 85. i prefer to keep the lights about 10 to 12 inches from the colas. so for example, a friend of mine runs 2 1000s and keeps his lights about 3 feet from the tops, so his plants recieve approx 15,555 lumens. i keep mine 10 to 12 inches from the tops so my plants receive far more lumens ,approx 90,000. to each their own. do what works for ya.
 
here is a little update on day 2 of flowering. i currently alson have 2 midnight kush, 2 blue widows, 1 black widow, and a superlemon haze veggin right now under an ufo led light. i have the haze autoflower in the 12/12 section is that ok or does it need more than 12 hrs of light? the leaves are starting to turn a bit yellow.

I read that in Jorge Cervantes Growers Bible thanks dude for showing the number of Lumens for the different type lights.. Maybe after Uncle Sams tax refund I will invest in 2 600W .. Thanks again dude.

no problem man. if you run the 600s your electric bill will thank you too. my 2 600s run on 240 and they pull 1.6 amps when running.

count me in, ive packed my bowls and ready to enjoy this show.....
i assume the "show" is an uneducated argument on whether a 600 or 1000 is better??? not gonna happen here buddy. i simply stated my opinion, a few facts, and left the conversation saying do what works for ya.

Funny how everyone wants an argument when all you did was back up your opinion with true facts on lumen output. I guess he didnt read the +rep I gave you for all the insight you shared. Eveyone wants to be a expert when I myself learn something new everyday.
