Lighting How many lights do I need

[Mr Piggy]

Just a quick note, a 1000 watt easily covers 5x5, a 600 will do 4x4 in a tent or enclosed grow space with reflective walls. Not trying to step on any toes, there's just an immense difference in the square footage between 25 sq feet and 16 square feet.

What do you think for 120 Sqf? :smokebuds:

Absolutely no idea without knowing the dimensions. The shape of the room has a whole lot to do with it.

Seems like we have an anxious grower here. Living in cali I see too many people thinking that more plants = more bud. But it doesn't. Here is my set up...

5x9 tent with 2, 600watt XXXL air cooled hoods (this covers the area perfectly and close to the canopy) the most plants I can fit in there in 5gal GeoPots is 18 when they are mature and that gives me almost 3lbs with syrup autos from Buddha seeds.

Being anxious to spend 5k on your grow just because you have it is just little experience. I have a friend that has 6k watts (6, 1000watt lights) covering 75 plants and he only harvest 4lbs! More plants does not = larger yield.

That is my set up and my 2 sense. Take it or leave it, but I've been growing for 3yrs and have see too many people do what you want to do and not get the end result. Less is more when cared for
