I want to make sure I have the right light requirements for my flower room. the room is 8x5.5, I read that for every square foot you need 50 watts of hps. So that would be 44sq. ft. times 50 which is 2200. should I just purchase (2) 1000 watt hps? also I understand lumens is the correct way to measure light. I am looking at the hortilux eye bulb with 147,000 lumens. since I am going with the higher lumens. would I be able to get away with (1) 1000 watt hps? weill be using mylar as well. thanks
