Hi everyone. I have a storage room that I would like to use as a grow area. It is connected to the attic and does not receive air conditioning, but is well ventilated. My problem is that I would like to grow 5 plants. However, I only have a 5x5 (25 sq. ft.) area to grow. I would like to light this area with a 600w HPS light (75,000 lumens), which is 3,000 lumens per sq. ft. of grow area. So 5 sq. ft. and 15,000 lumens of light per plant. I will have one intake inline fan at a low height and another inline fan for an exhaust at a high point on the opposite side. I may add in some extras such as an ozone generator, carbon filter, dehumidifier, etc. Please let me know what your thoughts are
Ummm okay...well I'm open for suggestions. If HPS isn't the way to go for a small space like that, then what should I use? I just know that HPS is the most efficient light. Can anyone suggest a better alternative?
600w hps in a 5 by 5 is fine just get lots of venilation in the room......i have a 1000w in a 4by 4 box... i have to run tons of fans and an ac machine but think of the yield.... but knowing a little more now...i should have put a 600w in my box they run alittle colder and you can get them closer to the plants...... air flo baby air flo..
