Hey everyone...first time poster/grower
I am currently designing my grow room. I have been reading and watching quite a few videos and I am running into a lot of different opinions.
The room I am using is 7x13x8. I have just over 90 square feet of space in the room. It is surrounded completey in concrete with a nice ventilation window. After reviewing tons of written and video entries, I believe I should be running 5k Lumens and 50 watts per square foot. Power wise, I am capped out at 2,000 watts. This leads me to believe that I can only use 35 square feet of the room giving me (with 2x 1,000 HPS) 57 watts per square foot and over 8,000 lumens per square foot with 150k bulbs(which seems too much on lumens). I guess I could go 6x7 or even going lower on the watts.
My questions are:
Should I increase the size of the grow, drop the watts/lumens?
How many plants should I throw in there? - Based on the square footage guidance you provide
I know a lot of posts depend on what you are growing. I figured I would provide that information:
The purps x however many I can put in & I plan on using LST.
Thanks guys...Any information would help and would be greatly appreciated!
