doin the organic thang in 15 gal smartpots with a 6o day veg...right now i've got 1-1000 watt hps for flowering..how much difference would it make if i put another 1000 watt hp in there?
frenzy,it's about 10x8x8...small bedroomA big difference.. Twice the yield if done properly.. But how big is your growspace though?
are you thinkin twice the yield with the same number of plants?...4A big difference.. Twice the yield if done properly.. But how big is your growspace though?
If you're air-cooling I'd say 2k. If you have a light mover that would really open things up for you as well.

1 per smart pot...4 plantsWait...how many plants do you have in each of the 15 Gallon Smart Pots?
1 per smart pot...4 plants
i figured bigger pots bigger buds...what if i put 2 plants in each container?If all your growing is 4 plants 1K will be plenty. But you should have 2K if you wanted to fill the room with plants. Why such large pots? Awful big.
i tie em down as soon as there is enough plant to lst..they are usually about 30 inches right before flowering..Damn'.......I don't know how long you plan on vegging those but 15 Gallons per plant using smart pots is WAY overdoing it if you are not eyeballing vegging your plants to monsters.
When I say monsters I am talking about vegging them to 6' to 8' plants.
If you look @ my grow in my signature those plants vegged for 2 months, that's from the day the clone was taken 'till I switched to 12/12.
When I switched to 12/12 they were all about 30' tall. I just chopped them this last Saturday and I should yield about 3oz per plant.
Now...my post is not about me so here is why 15 Gallons per plant is way overdoing it:
You already know the advantages of Smart Pots (no root bound plants) and if you do not veg your plants to the already mentioned 6' to 8' you are wasting resources hence growing medium. Your plants will not get to utilize what you put in to your smart pot if you veg them the common 2 or 3 months max everyone else does.
I am using 3 Gallon Smart Pots and if I had not as many as I do I would switch down to 2 Gallon ones.
