    Hello new grower here

    in Grow Community

    Okay for starters I would like to apologize for sounding like a newbie.


    I will be purchasing two Vivosun 1000w fixtures; will leave a link for reference.


    vivosun.com
    VIVOSUN 98% Ultrahigh Reflectivity 3-Mode-Adjust 1000W Double Ended Reflector Fixture
    3-Mode 1000w DE system w/ PREMIUM VEGA aluminum (99.9% Pure) - 98% ultrahigh lighting reflectivity Ballast 600/750/1000/1150w optional; Excellent lighting performance & premium VS lamp holder Microprocessor controlled with electronic safety circuit provides overheating and short-circuit protection Operates on 120/2

    My questions are: 1. How many plants should I put under those 2 lights? I was thinking that I should max out at 8? 4 under each?

    2. What are the height requirements to hang these fixtures so I dont burn my plants?

    3. How often are you feeding your plants?

    I will be using an organic soil and nutrient lineup to mix together, and was planning on using a compost tea. Do I just use the compost tea as a feeding day, and then on another day just give it pH water?


    I apologize for all of the questions

    Ok, so two of them would cover a 4'x8' space

    Sorry for the delayed response, I am working with a 10x7 grow area. I will be amending the soil with Down to Earth Organic All Purpose Fertilizer Mix 4-6-2, Down to Earth Organic Vegetable Garden Fertilizer 4-4-4, some kelp and bone meal and added bat guano as well with worm castings.

    @Jackson White Ok, unfortunately that grow light will not cover a 10x7 area. You would need multiple grow lights for that.
