Advice on led wattage

[Iron boar]

Hey!
I am getting ready to start my 1st journey, but I need advice on size (watt) and quantity of led lights I need to use. The wardrobe/box is 156cm x 56cm = 8736cm = 0.87m2.
I was thinking of 2-3 led lights to cover the length of the wardrobe.
Any suggestions?
Tnx

id recommend 2 mars hydro reflector 96x5 for that space. their footprint is 3'x2' each so with 2 it be PERFECT. i have 1 and my other will be here in 2 days and i cant wait!!! the links in my sig is using the same LED i recommended to you

I would like try 40w.sq.ft sometime as I have been blasting my plants with upwards of 60w per sq.ft

I am thinking you could always add a 3rd panel if you feel the need after trying two.

With a 3rd same panel it would bump the watts up to 60w sq.ft. , the harvest size should increase accordingly to watt draw.

The watts per square foot

The Reflector series 96x draw 200w x2 panels , 400w divide by 10 sq.ft = 40w sq.ft , is a energy efficient draw more then a maximum growth rate number.

There is no shortage of help from people doing well with Leds with threads writing journals or just visiting the Mars review page.
I predict you will not be a Novice for long !
