Actually, 4,000 lumens a square foot is okay...5,000 is more of the optimal range. And 16,000 lumens is 3.2 sq. ft. at that level. That's three small plants. You'd be better off going for two larger plants, IMO. And I gotta say that four plants for a 150w is probably dreaming, unless you're doing a scrog or something. My grow area is 27" x 28"...5.25 sq. ft. I've got a 250w ballast with a 270w Hortilux light that puts out 29,000 lumens. Four plants in my area is tight. Just my .02 there.
Roughrider Reviewed by Roughrider on . cabinet suggestions for 150 hps i am currently saving alitte money to buy a 150w floralux hps with glass lens.The 150w can flower 4 plants but im finding it completely impossible to find any cabinets that are more than 1 foot deep,2 feet wide and about 5 foot high.The cabinet im looking at right now is a storage cabinet at target for 49$,it comes with adjustable shelves but its only 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep.Im planning on growing nothing but bag seeds for a while so i dont think ill need to be cloneing until i get pretty Rating: 5
