Using 1/2 square meter for this grow and and having about just under 6ft height. 2 Pots flood and drain where the plant will most likely sit 10" from the ground. I am looking for the most convinient strain that fits the above setup. I would also like to know what hps wattage to use. The plan is to get the most yield out of 2 plants, therefore the more the better since there is only that space available. I would like to hang the hps verticaly in between both plants with a fan blowing directly at it. This tent is litteraly next to a window so there is a very good cold breeze coming in (cold air of about -0 C). Could someone please tell me what strain and what wattage to go for considering the space and all the other factors?? I would really like to know the heat difference between a 150w, 250w and 1000w. Would a 1000w be x4 hotter than a 250w? Would a 150w have a huge heat difference compared to a 250w? Any suggestions? Ty.
Lamp Type Wattage Growth Area (SQ.FT.) mh 175 9 250 12 400 25 1000 64 hps 150 9 250 12 400 25 1000 64 from the Hydrofarm lighting guide...
Rule of thumb is 100 watts per plant, could go with a 250 hps but i would rec a 400 damn near the same cost
250w would work, so would a 400. Because of your limited height, go indica, they are typically shorter.
