 New 4200 watt grow

Hey all starting up a whole new grow. In the process of finishing up putting together my new grow room. Going to be running 8 lights but im running it with 4 ballast with spiliters so that each bulb will be pushing 525 wats so i can get more light spread. Im going to be running co2 in this room. I also am going to be going hydro this round with deep water culture setup. I will post pics of the room in a couple days when im finished seting everything up.
Im also going to be doing a test with auto flowers. Cause were im set up i only have one room to do a grow in so with auto flowers they need 20 hours of light a day in growth and flower so what im going to be doing is have 10-12 plants under 4 lights under mh for growth and when they start to flower ill put then under the other 4 lights that will have hps. So also with doing this set up the plants will get full spectrum of light.

Wow, that's going to be a pretty-to-watch-grow lineup. I'm growing black cream and as soon as it sprouts I'll start a grow log. Together we're growing the whole red family

so is it really 4200 watts or is it really 2100 watts split to run 24 hours a day and is there a difference?

its four ballast that are running at 1000 watts on boost mode so each ballast will be pushing 1050 wats. so ballast will have a splitter on it so each light will be pushing 525 watts.

you dont wanna run those ballasts on turbo mode with new lamps. turbo is only for old lamps so you can pull another couple months out of them.

crush... the reason im running on boost mode is so that each bulb is a 600 watt bulb and the ballast is a 1000watt so at 1050 wats that is split between two lights each light is 525 sooo the lamp is not being over powered. so they will be fine.

pluse im using all the same brand between ballast and light bulbs and splitter. solis tek designed it so that everything will run just fine. just wont get full 600 watts out of the bulb. but wich is why im also running 8 lights to make sure i have a great light spread.

well here are some updated pics the plants have been in the hydro set up for two weeks today. but the first week i did not use enough water in the hydro buckets so i think that stunted the growth for the first 7-9 days till i upped the water.
    
oh and right now im using mbferts nuits line. figured i would try something new. right now the nuit are at half strength so when i change the water ill go full strenght . when i added what i added the ppms were around 430-450.

thanks, i cant wait for it to finish to see what my over all yield will be sense all my girls are auto flowers. want to see if my set up i have makes it worth using auto flowers or not.. cause if i can pull 1.5 to 2 pounds for 12 auto flowers that is 8-10 weeks from germinating the seed to harvest, it will be so worth it i think.
