Lighting Autoflower t5 ?s

[SAVAGE]

I'm growing 12 plants with 3 bad boy t5 4ft 8bulb with veg bulbs after about week 6 I will switch to bloom bulbs. Now my quation is that going to be enough or should I put a hps bulb in the room for diff light spec? Or would it not be worth it? I want to get a high yeild I'm growing thing differnt if that helps in 5 gallon dwc buckets

5'x10'
I don't have a huge budged
432watt each light

How many watts? What's the budget, and the size of the grow space?

Would i be right if i said it was 432w? Depending on your space i thing you will be fine during veg. but for 12 plants and wand wanting high yeild and tight hard nugs you might want to add some more Light, how much exactly idk i will let someone with more knowledge help you out but they will need to know exactly what late asked.

*WAIT you said "3" bad boys oooooweee:Holy Moly: my bad thats almost 1300w! unless you growing in a warehouse i think you good!

The bad boy lights you have use 488 watts ea so that's 1474 watts of juice they say that's put out what like 40, 000 lumens each so thats 120, 000 lumens in the 3000 k range. I have two in my room. Rumming 5 under them in a 9sq meter /21sq ft ish scrog 3in apart. Did those on my last grow got 1.5 lbs off 8 plants my first try. I only mention that cause I messed up things along they and that seemed good to me.
Sure you'll be good on lights.
So I would think. Hope that helps.

would a 1000watt really give me more yield or is it worth the cost and power bill?

Maybe add some leds, start with one or 2!!

If you go to 1000 w hps you will need to spend a lot of money on fans,cool tube,duckting and the light. I would stay with the t5 and keep them around three inches from flower tops when they get to that point.

My room stays way cool have to put a heater in it most the time so heat is not an issue with me and LEDs are way to spendy for me right now but would love to switch next year to all led
