    4X3...? 600w...?

    Okay here we go will a 4X3x5 area be sufficient for a 600w Mh/hps light? How many plants do you think that I can get away flowering in there.? Do you guys think I should go 4X4 but I wanted to keep bout 50w per sq foot.? Any suggestion or your thought greatly appreciated thanx again.

    4x3 surface area = 12 sq ft

    600 HPS light produces ~90,000 lumens

    90000 / 12 = 7500 lumens per sq foot

    so you should be pretty golden in there as 5000 lumens per sq foot is considered enough to give optimal growth... at 7500 you have another 50% ontop of that!

    Thanx for your opinion I already knew this tho, I was also looking for more exp. opinions as I am wondering the max plants that I could get in there. Would this area be sufficient to lets say yield me 22 Os.? Or would I have better luck going with a 4X4 box. I find myself able to smoke a whole lot,so I wanna have a decent amount into the stash box for a while. And smoke with all friends so i am not greedy person just want enough for me an enough for them to. Also if I go 4X4 that will still be optimal growth as it will still have 5625 lumens sq. foot give or take a 100 or so.
