hey all

so i have a "Average sized" closet about 8'x6'x3' and 2 400watt hps hung @ about 6' and i have a large fan venting to my attic so heat isnt much of an issue in this room (my flowering room btw)
so basicly i want 4 tree's or so in there:dance:

I am assuming you have 6'x3'x8' (length, width, height). That means you have a 18 sq ft growing area, so you only have a little over 3K lumens per sq. ft. Thats about minimum. If you are planning on growing trees, I am not sure how good light penetration will be as they gain height. Rule of thumb seems to be, as long as you can control the heat, you cannot have too much light, to a point of course.

Or he could be a midget and his closet is 8'wx6'dx3h. I wonder if midgets only need to smoke half as much. ;)
