What lights to use

  1. About to start my first indoor grow room but testing my space, 2300mm tall X 600mm deep X 1750mm width with a 600w running the temp gets to 30-32c degrees and 400 is pretty much the same even with a 150mm exhaust fan. Would LEDs run cooler and if so what would be the best light strength to use?

  2. led's do run cooler. you're going to want to find a way to circulate air in the space... an exhaust fan blowing warm air out of the top and an intake allowing cool air to be sucked in through the bottom is ideal.

    if i remember correctly, you're going to want about 30 watts per sq ft for veg, and 50-80 per sq ft for flower.

    so an example.. if you have a mars hydro that's 120 true watts in a 2'x2' area (4 sq ft), you'll be at 30 watts per sq ft.
