  1. What do you guys believe to be the largest area in square feet that a 400 watt hps could cover??? Would is cover a space of 4'x4' with a sufficient amount of light for a canopy?

    thank you all
     
  2. Hey Sauch, a 400w hps will do about 3x3 area or 9sq. ft.
     
  3. thats what i hear, but if you look at the grow journal of LBH you will see that he uses almost double that space 4'x4'. I thoguth 3x3 was the max too, but it looks lke LBH is doing pretty damn good in an area of 4x4.

    i'll prolly end up doing a couple 4'x3's or something....
     
  4. 1 SQ meter a 400W will cover, trying to cover anymore will affect yields.
     
  5. 4x4 is also what my local hydro store recommends for a 400w HPS as well. They state it will get very good coverage.
