Hello everyone! I am new to the site and just got my 4'x8' tray running sog style! I am having problems getting nice full cola's... I am running 2 400w HPS spaced evenly accross the tray and running ionic nutr's! Is my lighting enough? should I go to 600 watt'rs? If anyone has some advise on this I was looking at 2-1000w but the elect cost would break the bank for me.

Welcome to the4 monkey house!
I would go with the 600's. I am using them and they are great for me because I have to watch the heat.
Have you looked into using digital ballasts. I am told they are less expensive to run. I am running 2 of them and they are much cooler.
Orzz thank you for ur response! I was thinking about doing the dual 600 lumatek ballast! Are you happy with the output of your 600's?

welcome newb.... I was running dual 1000's over my trays and it worked great! And yes you will see A jump in ur elect bill and now that I have said that, I have since switched to the 600's and love them! You may want to take acouple of peoples advice on this and use that to base your next move off of!

For the size of my room, I can get the 600's closer to the canopy. The ballasts by Quantum rock!

What are you using now?
Why do you want to change nutes?
I am running ionic! I was told that it is A great nutrient just that my lighting needs to be upgraded! Has anyone ever went from 2-400's to 2-600's and seen a diffrence? I am looking at the lumatex ballast but just dont want to spend the money if it is not gonna help with the flower size!!!

Why do you want to change your nutes then?
Yes, all things being optimum the 600's will out produce the 400's. Remember that temp, humidity, water quality and strain all play an important part in the process.
I would recommend kicking back and chilling out. I hear that you are worried about your gro but just get the basics down first then start your climb to maximum yields. Get a grow or two at your present location and see what the problem areas are. Does it get too hot, cold, humid, dry ... ???? There are so many variables that locations just a few miles apart can have drasticly different requirements from each other.
Hope that ramble helps ......

Newbi I would recomend that you don't skip out on your system at all. I am running nextgen ballast and am in love with these thing's, I can hold them after 10 hrs running and your vent system will make or break your grow!
And funny seeing you around here onthedl! how are thing's going your way? I thought you might like to see the system stable!!!!

I love them! They get fairly warm but they dissapate heat real nice, and the internal therma stat is pretty sweet! And as far as all the kinks being worked out I would love to say yes for sure! But I don't want to get to happy yet, and on the other hand they are only looking better eveyday.....
