Trying to do more preliminary research. My 6 Bridgelux Vero 18s from Digikey just arrived, but it will be a while before I build my array. I have a 3 plant CFL auto grow going in the tent at the moment.
I have read that it's not the number of plants, but the size of the grow space that is important. My tent is small, with a 2'x4' floor space, so 8 square feet. I have also read that 30-40 watts per foot should be about right.
If I drive my 6 COBs at 40w each, that puts me right at the number for 30w per foot.
Am I figuring correctly? Or does anyone have other suggestions? I'm only planning 2 plants for my next grow and am planning to scrog and maybe try hempy buckets.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks.
ETA: It just seems crazy to me that I could get enough light from these "relatively" small COBs. :dunno:
