I have a 1000 watter and it covers a good 8 square feet but...BUT....those outer couple feet ARE getting alot less light...so I try to keep my plants in a 6 foot by 6 foot area.
My advice would be to get a 1000 w HPS.
Also I move my plants and spin them under the light...as to even out the light each plant gets and make sure every angle is covered by moving and spinning.:thumbsup:
J DOG 6000 Reviewed by J DOG 6000 on . 400W hps enough for this set up??? the Space is a 5'x5' basement room with lots of ventilation. actually the room is about 8'x11' but i've sectioned off a part of the room for the flowerin stage. in another part i have the vegitation area where i am growing under 8 32W four foot floro's. i have the two sections light tight and i am getting ready to purchase a HPS. Is 400w hps enough to grow 8 plants in a 5x5 space? or would i be better off just getting a shit load more floros and light them that way. i figured that haveing Rating: 5
