| 1000 watt is better. More light= tighter more dense buds Are you going to soil grow/hydro grow? If hydro what method fllod and drain NFT bubbler, Drip etc Read the grow guide found at the top of the germination forum. When you finished that ? Read it again. Happy growing man | ||

a 400/1000watt hps in a small space without fans and venting could be a big problems.. new growers most likely start in soil  i second everything king fern said and the part after you read the grow guide, read it again, then again

| and here i was about to say the 400.... i dont like overkill, but then, a 1000 wouldnt be overkill in this situation. what it all comes down to is your budget and seriousness if you have the money, and are serious about a good grow, get the 1000, but thats not to say you couldnt easily get away with the 400 you mentioned a small space though, and well, a 400 would support a smaller space...and then, there are heat issues...DEFF more of an issue with a 1000 than with a 400... all comes down to what you want... good luck with whatever you decide  | ||

| Look up bubblers or DWC in the search area here. basically they are: 1 bucket and lid 1 air pump and 2 airstones from petstore hydroponic nutrients. cut hole in lid of bucket place pot in hole Fill to 1 inch above bottom of pot to begin with, the nutrients. Then drop to one inch below pot level, when roots poke through holes. hey presto hydroponics And as the infamous mr doobster says just how big an area man? if its too small dont use a 1000 watts | ||

| i love it how soil growers always recomend soil, and hydro growers hydro.... will it ever fail? i doubt it, y must we try to press what we do on other people? is there such thing as being neutral...i mean, its not like he was asking advice on what medium to use.... just a thought... | ||
