What about 2 150s in each level? that would give her a little more room to grow vertically... But would the lighting be intense enough?
I like the idea of 250s + flouros in each level, and that's probably what ill advise her to go with....The only reason I suggested the 70s, was because she currently has a small closet grow going on with 2 70w HPS + about 150 flouros, and her 3 girls are looking pretty nice...the 70s are about 5 inches from the tops and the flouros (t5s and CFLs) are about a half inch from the tops...I figure she will yield at least an ounce or two.
The 400s in each level is my goal, i want to get some more info and maybe find some good 400w grow logs, talk to the guy at the hydro store- but I would really like to see the 400s in each level work because i think that would obviously yield most. FG, are you mostly just concerned with plant height restrictions if she uses 400s? Like I said, I'm pretty confident in my LST and ScROGGing abilities...the lights have about a 8inch vertical profile, the 6 gallon soil container has about a 7inch profile... So I'll round up and say that's a foot and a half. then there needs to be about a foot between the tops and and the light so thats 2 1/2 feet...that leaves me with a foot of vertical growth height to work with.......I don't think that would be so hard, with an indica dominant hybrid...or even a sativa with a short veg.Like I said before I once vegged a haze plant for 3 months, then scrogged it with 450ws of combined HPS....and the lights were about a foot or a foot and a half away (not air cooled, and poor ventilation) and i yielded about 6oz dry.......
If bleaching or heat will still be an issue I'll probably have her go with 250ws plus flouro supplements, but if i can find a way, I wanna make the 400s work
