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?

125 dosnt tell much. What is the DxWxH? That is what we need

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.

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!

I knew what you ment. Just needed to point it out.

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.

i grow in 60 feet of space and i use 400w if your room about double my size then imma say 1000w mh/hps would be sufficient

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

Yeah i know and 3x2.5x8 is my space.

well my measurements aren't totally accurate but its very close more like 3.3x2.7x8 so around 71 but either way not that far off

I'm not trying to argue with anyone. Just trying not to mix a noob up.

lol warlock i am in no way trying to argue with anyone.I actually like the advice you give.

Its a loop style green house. The l x w x h is 16'x10x 4.7 Because of the curve at the top then obviously the real value will be less. But depending on the exact shape of the inverted "U" then the l x w x h is a bad formula.

I agree with the other post. 3 k per square foot is crazy

Oh and im putting 34 plant in the space. Most of the plants are
indica/ sativa autoflowers. Easy Ryder, pandora, amnesia, and cheese.

Think I have a idea of what the greenhouse looks like. Is it out side? If so just use it as a green house. Keep it warm. Autos will do fine in the short hours of light. But your going to need to lst big time if it's only 4.5 foot high.

I thought I would have to. I found the formula to measure the cubic feet of my house. After a little legends lesson. How many wattage am I looking at

How many lumens?
