I'm just trying to figure out what I'll need to upgrade to when I start to flower...How many plants can a 90w UFO, 400W HPS, and 1000W HPS flower? Thanks

Depends on their strain, how big you intend to grow them, how you manage the lights....

Basically 400w HPS covers 3x3 feet nicely, up to 5x5 supplemental. 1000W can do 5'x5' great, and up to 8'x8' supplemental.

You can fit 1 plant per square foot and form a decent canopy. Bigger plants require more room or training.

Well, I intend for them to grow to about 5 or 6 ft...I was thinking of just doing all UFO's for the energy saving. How much space do you thin 1 90 watt UFO could cover? Thanks
