Default HPS wattage and grow space size

in the growfaq it says
" A 250 watt HID will illuminate a 2' x 2' garden.
A 400 watt HID will illuminate a 3' x 3' garden."

but the 250 watt hps is only 5 bucks cheaper than the 400 watt hps. Would 400 watter be overdoing it for a 2x2 growing area? only about 2-3 plants

Can you keep that small space cool if you had the 400? Thats the question.

Just get a air cooled hood, and you should be fine...I would go with 400 not 250 with a few cfls...

Go with the conversion...add the hood as suggested. You'll be fine and only have to swap a bulb when its time to flower.

Not to mention having 400Watts for the entire grow. I would skip the the smaller lights if I were you.

Spot on Bloodshot! I think that one deserves a plus 1 Rep!

SUN SYSTEM ECONOCOOL REFLECTOR price: $124.95


I am sure that there is cheeper, but this one works well for me..seedsetc.com
He offers free shipping..Look around I am sure there is even better deals, but this is one that I picked up..3x3 is perfect for this hood.
Oh yeah, the one you posted does not come with the socket, this one does and is much longer....GL
