Hey, Ive always grown outdoor, but recently moved into a new place that has a spare room that is 14' X 7.5'. I initially wanted to put 2 600W HPS lights in, and curtain it off to be 12' X 6' of actually growing area. But I know that it isn't enough light wattage per square foot.
So I guess I need some advice on what to do. If it was a more square room, then it might be different. But I figured I could either make the growing area even smaller, maybe 5' X 8' or something like that, so I would just use the 2 lights. Or I could get a 3rd light and make it a bit bigger.
I'm mostly thinking that it is such a rectangular room that it will be hard to get the right light coverage with only 3 lights, and it might not be wide enough to try and use more.
Admittedly, I already have 2 5' refectors, so I was trying to figure out how to use them in the space since I already have them. But if anyone has a better idea of how to use the space, then please I am all ears, and I can scrap any plans I had.
Thanks.
