I was about to buy a 150 Watt HPS light today online when I came across a few more bucks. Gotta love money u weren't expecting till Friday haha. But now I'm startin to reconsider getting a 150 and thinking about gettin at 250 watt. I'd be growing in a 2x2 area startin 2 girls in there. I'd like to eventually have anywhere from 4-6 tho. So I'm hoping to one day upgrade to a slightly bigger area with a couple more plants since you can only really fit 2 Max in there. ANYWAY, what I wanted to ask was if a 250 watt HPS would be too much heat or light for a 2x2 area? I don't know if it would be too hot prolly manage even with a fan or not. Or if the plants would burn out from all the light. I know I plan to upgrade too but I don't know forsure when ill have more space available to use. It could be a while. I have about 6 ft in height so I do have a decent amount of space to hang the light from also but I don't want any tall ass plants goin in there. I don't know if that would help me decide easier but I figured I'd bring it up anyways haha. Thanks for takin the time to read this and thanks for any response. And Happy Turkey Day!! And if anyone knows of any legit sites they've gone with before that ship discreetly feel free to add too cus I'm still not too sure on who to order from. I was gunna order from growwurks.com but still thinking about it.
I own a 250, and surprisingly to me it doesn't get too hot. You would need a fan though venting out or in fresh air. I don't think a 150 would be enough wattage for 2 female plants. Good rule of thumb is 100 watts per plant.
no such thing as too much light.....do yourself a favour tomorrow...walk outside and look at the sun....if its a clear day....that is still not enuf lite!!!!lol
Will this be too much light? Please give me your feedback on at what stages to adjust how far the led is away?
