Which way to go??

[LifeLess]

My space is 8 x 5. Not sure which way to go as far as lights go. Should i do 2/1ks or would 2/600s cover it. Ill be running 16 plants in this space. I could extend it out to 6ft. Thnx LL

For coverage and for enough watts per sq ft, go with 2-1000's. That gives you 50w/sq ft which is adequate. Good luck. -granger

more light is always better IF you can keep things cool IMHO

Thanks for posting. I was thinking 2 /1ks but didnt wanna over do it. Figured id ask here. Icmag comunity hasent ever let me down. Peace LL

How high is it? I'd strongly suggest sealed ac hoods and at least an 8' fan/ducting to cool them or its going to get about 120 in there with the quickness. Plus another 6' fan and filter for the smell.

BC I use aircooled hoods and theres a 12btu a/c running in there so the temps stay just right. Theres plenty of head room in there. i think its 9ft ceilings. I have the 2/1ks running now and things seem to be perfect. Very bright. Peace LL

Granger nailed it - the Goldilocks zone!
