Temporary Lighting

[brocious719]

Will the following lights get me by in a 4x4x7 tent until my new 400w set up arrives? I have a 150w hps, a 90w led "flying saucer", and a 125w cfl. Greenhorn grower recieving 2 clones from a friend ... new lights to arrive in a week or two. In the future I would like to have 4 in the same space ... is 400enough or will more(600w) be necessary?

you'll get good results from a 400w but a 600W is better for that space!

TY Thatboydean ... much appreciated! That said do you think i'll be ok for a week to week& a 1/2 with the existing lighting I listed? Clones are anxious to get here as they are feeling crowded @ my friends place. Shouldn't they stay in veg a few days anyhow after transplant? Thanks again

Well ... the girls have arrived and seem to be taking to their new home. For the moment the lights I have will have to do. I'm still leaning toward 400w for the new light only because of the cost issue ... that and I could always use the lights I have now as supplemental. I think. Any input, suggestions or ideas from the community would be much appreciated.

There is know problem using a 400w mate! You'll get good results with either.

Thanks much ThatBoyDean. I ended up with a 600 after all (couldn't beat the deal) and the girls seem to enjoy basking in its rays ... that and the addition of a much better reflector have made a world of difference.

good choice and good luck with your grow!
