    Default How many XXL autos for 600W?

    Hi there,

    How many XXL autos (Moby Dick strains) are good to grow under 600W parabolics HPS (space is not a problem)?

    Haven't grown any XXL autos before ... whats the pros and cons for regular autos versus XXL autos?


    Cheers!

    Never grown them either but, usually, a minimum of 100w HPS per plant is good

    Pros and cons... the pros are, they go massive!

    Cons... they don’t ALWAYS go massive.

    Its a 4' parabolic . Spread light very nicely over the 5' . Any other reflector i would do 2-4 tbh especially the cool hood types . The spread is not good at all and would say a 3x3 area at best
