Good day cg, I trust all is well with the collective,I've loved the read, you're a library fuill of knowledge,forgive me if this has been asked but I was reading many posts at early hours, sleepless times and when ever else I've found time, I was just curious what was ur harvest difference between coco, rockwool and dwc,aswell as that would 250 watts per sq ft be over kill if sufficiently cooled?

Well I'm no CG, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. 250 watts/sqft is overkill no matter how you look at it, it's going to be well beyond the light saturation point for just about any strain indoors.

is just that I'm limited to space,and not lights, I've been running this setup for 2 years, infact 12000 watts in a 3x4metre area, being how I came to my calculation, aswell as that I'm running 36 k btu, all straight dwc system,but I'm looking to try other methods as I've been with dwc since I started about 4 years ago,and it has its probs at times, will try get pics posted as I'm on my phone, but I will try spread my lights into a possible 3rd room,I'm using 400z and 600s, have 2x hydor 2000 l extractors and 3x td800s for winter when not using air con,I'm still with my original violator kush I've started with, and lately decided to keep a quality vanilla kush I've come across.I've added a link for a pic of a small violator bud so long. I know I've still got lots to learn, and that's why I'm here

Just a pic of my power arrangement, another reason why I stopped at 12000 watts is because its residential power supply,and then my home made dwc containers,currently running 24 of them.

Any 1 on this thread with some good ideas on commercial leds?
I stay in south africa so I need to know ill be importing the best, any pointers on this aswell as coco,dwc or rockwool harvest differences would be much appreciated, I know I can go make my own thread but there's not many people with the knowledge that the posters here have. And I'm not keen to get instructions from a closet grow.

Usually nutes would give it a hay or pine smell. Flush more thoroughly.

12kW in a 3m x 4m space is 1kW/m^2 which is around 100W/ft^2.

3x4 is 12, 12 sq m to ft is 40 sq ft, and 12000 divided by 40 gives 300 actually?
Am I calculating it wrong?
Reason I 1st got 250 was because I got my conversion from metres to feet incorrect.

12 m square is actually 129.16 square feet ...
So actually you're hitting about 93w/sf ...
Metric conversion kills both sides of the user.

Thanks for clearing that up,
In that case will definitely need some leds
