how many plants can you grow with an 800 watt HPS and can any one figure the mean lumens

I never heard of an 800 watt hps....250/400/430/600/1000

You could probably do a 4x4 area right?

Well if you can do 3X3 with one you should be able to about 3X6 with two. The lumens is simple addition just double one.

Indoors, 2000 lumens per sq. ft. is about as low as you want to go indoors. If you get under this mark, plant growth will certainly not go as fast as possible, and internode/stem length will increase. Also, light distance to plants will be much more critical. Daily adjustments to the lamps will be necessary, meaning you get no vacations. 2500 lumens psf should be a good target

400 hps is around 45k lumens

so that is 4500 lumens per plant at 10 plants is that enough light for 10 plants per light total 800 hundred watts = 20 plants at 112.5 lumens per watt total 90,000 lumens?

more or less, i might be wrong but that is my thinking.

some out there say a CFL cant do what an HPS can do thinking along those line could a CFL set up pulling 840 watts producing 80,000 lumens close to the plant since light travel is a problem in CFL's could this set up be used to produce say 15 plants what do you think scaling back a bit from 20 plants since there is a diffrence in lumens of 10,000 and taking into mind the ability of the light to travel ??? i wonder

Another Lighting question from a newb

that will explain your cfl's
