    Default Questioning about lighting for a particular space. Space is 125 cubic feet

    I am working on a new grow room. It's roughly 125.67 cubic feet. How many lumens or watts do you sugges I use If my calculations are correct I should need around 150,000 to 200,000 lumens?

    You estimate based on square footage. Floor measurements are . . . .? Remember sativas require much more light than indicas. But you can average 3000 watts/square foot.


    Aw did I hurt your little ass feelings, sweetheart?

    3000w/per foot? That's not right. 60w/foot is close. I'm guessing type to fast or medicated. Your to good to state that

    Trying to talk to my ahole boss. Trying to say 45-65 watts/square foot. 45 will do only indicas OK but I go big to grow big on air, containers and light. 1000 watts on each 5' x 5' is what I do. I have a 400 HPS (2) for each 22-gallon DWC unit I just finished.

    Not good enough to work all Saturday on the holiday weekend so they call and want Monday. Medicine sucks. I ain't going in. I have clones that will buy it if not transplanted and some into my new DWC experimental hydro I built! Thanx, Warlock!

    Glad you did. We were talking the cost of a single hemodialysis treatment. $3000.00 for a 4-hour treatment. 3 times a fucking week until dead or they quit. And the bitch squawks about a raise I need for new equipment? We run 29-36 a day at that rate. Or more in a pinch.

    Even thow I would love to see how someone can get 31,250 watts in that area. It's not happening. So I knew it was a mistake. But if anyone wants to try post some pics. Lol I'm having fun now. Got a few drinks in me.

    Linear foot and sqrear foot is different. I'm guessing it's a 4x4x8 area. So a 600 is perfect
