[Wllbuckhunter]

Ok, im in a 6x6x4 grow room and im wondering if I bought the right light. Im using a 400w met and wondering if its enough or to much. Also just wanting to know what the temp and humidity range should be around. Thanks.

May want to read a few thread in the Lighting section! Good luck, sounds like you are starting a nice grow area! And good for you!:rasta: pr

hi buckhunter. i am no expert and you might do a bit of reading yourself, but a 400w covers 3x3 and 600w covers 4x4 something like that. roughly 50w per sqft.
hope this helps.

So what your saying is im a little short on light,right. What you suggest I due about that. I might be wrong with those measurements, how do you really get the right measurement. Is it height x width x depth. Let me know and thanks for the help.

hi buckhunter. like i said , i am no expert but my room was 3x4x6 dxwxh so half of yours, and had 400w hps. if i was you i would make that room 4x4 with 600w hps
OR get another400w and put them side by side with two in there OR a light mover.

good luck,hope all goes well.

Hi i have 180 h 110 w 65 d and used a 400w it was to hot when lowering the light to the plants, plus it helps if you have good intake and out take fans, the humidity i had at 50% but the lighting was suspect, i have now lowered to 250 w have industrial intake and outake fans and it works fine for veg i use 250 w spectral blue and then 250w red for harvest, seems to be fine for me, you should really set it up before plants added to get it right and keep temp steady.
