So I'm having a few small issues right now. Trying to figure out what would be better. I'd love to get some advice from y'all, I have some newly flowering plants in a small tent under a 600wHPS light, the tent is 4x4, I have some other plants flowering in a bigger tent that is 5x5 with a 1000wHPS.
The original plan was to move the plants from the 4x4 into the 5x5 once the 5x5 were finished flowering. But because we are noobs we started them all at the same time. The plants that were still vegging got too big and were going to outgrow the tent so we had to start flowering them under the 600w. In the 4x4 tent, we don't have an AC unit and it's a little warmer than we'd like, plus I don't have enough fans hooked up to the carbon filter to completely keep the smell down. So I thought, why not move the plants from the 4x4 into the 5x5 and just put the 600w light in there in addition to the 1000wHPS. So the tent would be pretty full, BUT, there is an ac unit in there keeping the room at a steady 75 degrees. Plus several fans hooked up the the carbon filter bringing fresh air in and taking it out of the tent.
Would the additional 600W light be better for the plants that are already in there budding now? They still have 2 1/2-3 weeks left I'm guessing. Or would the new plants put in the tent hog the 1000wHPS and be less beneficial for the plants that are almost done? Once the plants that are towards the end of flowering are finished, we would move the 600wHPS back to the smaller tent to start the new batch. Just leaving the 1000wHPS in the 5x5. It does seem right now in the 5x5 there is a lot of wasted light, as the plants in there now take up roughly half the space of the tent.
Look forward to hearing your guy's thoughts on this!
