HID Lighting Coverage Area Data

HID Lighting Coverage Area Data

On average you need 50 Watts of HID lighting per square foot of the area you intend to illuminate. This rule does not take into consideration the shape of your grow area. Below I have added a more accurate method.

250 Watt HID Light illuminates a 2'x2' Grow Space
400 Watt HID Light illuminates a 3'x3' Grow Space
600 Watt HID Light illuminates a 3.5'x3.5' Grow Space
1000 Watt HID Light illuminates a 4'x4' Grow Space

In some situations you can have a slightly larger area however HID light diminishes at an advanced rate the further it is from the plants and you stand a chance of the edges of your garden being in the dark if you try to use too large of an area with a less powerful HID light.

Why?

Thanks for the love,

-turtle420 :cool:

400watt... good for vegging and beginners/small spaces..

1000watt.... welcome to the world of BIG BUDS.. get that light close and make those BUDS thick as baseball bats

now 600watts.. where do they fit in...

a 600watt bulb is for an obseeeive SOB that is determined to get more for his/her buck than a 1000watt bulb... how to do this.... for starters... you cheat... you get 2 (600 watt bulbs)... Euro systems sells a ballast that gives off ZERO heat and makes ZERO noise and it runs 2 600 watt bulbs... last I checked it only comes 220volt... not a probelm.. call you r electrician buddy.. : )

need I say more.... : )

i love you

of course I should say more... hahaha

with 2 600's you can cover a 3x6 space pretty darn GOOD....

keep the lights right on top of your plants... lots of air flow.. I mean TONS....

SOG muther fucker.. SOG!!!!!!!!

i am starting to sweat...

i love you

Great info! Thanks GKnowm

Dboy

1000 watts grow buds the size of your forearm!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I'm in a dilema then...
I don't have a 1000W bulb, and I've got one of those strange 600W bulbs.

I was thinking, when flowering comes around, to use both my 400W MH and 600W HPS.
I trully don't know why the hell I'm asking this, as I'm opening up to cheap-shots by Garden. :(

Yeah he will sucker punch you. :D
