|  ** 400-Watt Talk & Shots ** I was getting tired of the same post sitting in the fore of this forum. Not much posting/commenting going on here. So why not start a new thread? This one hopefully will be ongoing. I myself use a 400W light. Thats the topic of this thread. Pictures of 400W light produced bud....Questions about 400W lights specifically and just general conversations weighing pros/cons of the 400W lights will go here. Maybe after a few months we can have a multi page thread. I encourage other light users (1000, 600, 250 Watt) to start a thread for each perspective light. So..... Show what you grow. I'll add a few pics in a few days. I just updated my grow journal and dont want to be redundant.

| I use a 400Wt. IN my small grow space I think that is my maximum before heat really becomes an issue. Plus electrical usage on that circuit is also a constraint. actually I was quite shocked by how well the plants grow under these myself.

| 400W is one of the best, Mr Lizard. It doesnt generate the heat of the bigger lights and can go closer to plant tops. Using 2 or 3 400W lights in some instances is better than using a 1000 or 600. They cover more area and can get closer to the plants. Venting with ducting/inline fan is optional with a 400. Its almost mandated with a 1000. It saves money on the extras. 1000's kick butt.....but have their downside too. Split closet....1 - HPS, 1 - MH 400W.

| Right on Blood,I have two 400 watt.Blubs are cheater and the cost to run them too.My DWC bucket in the closet, the light is about 8" from the top of the plant.The light is air cooled and two fans blowing in the closet.The closet stays 72 to 76 degree with the lights on.Small places the 400 watts are great.If I could grow in a 10'x10' or bigger I would get the 1000 watt. PEACE

| Hey I have a question for you all what is your average yield per crop under a 400wt ? My first try I estimate between 3-4 OZ's. Is this typical? I am sure that the average may be somewhat higher. Anybody actually grow a monster under one of these?

| A monster is uder the 400watter I dont know what the yeilds are under 400 or 600 or 1000,I think that has to do with the genetics of the plant it self and alot of other conditions too.I have a large girl in DWC right now the stem is about 1"1/4 inches around and she is taller than me at 6'foot.Looks like about 4 or 5 weeks left.She has out growen the closet depth of 2'.Veg her under cfls for 4 weeks than 400 MH,and now 400HPS. The longer you veg the bigger they get.The 400 watt is cost effective for me and I like that.I would think in perfect conditions in all light food genetics water air movement you could get 1/2lb or more from one plant.Look at what they do outside on there own.They get good soil and food and light they reach for the sky. Hope that helps a little. PEACE PS here's a few pixs of her in the closet.I know I will be tieing her up some.
