So I plan on buying 3 DWC units, I'm going to be new to DWC and most of the guides and grow journals of people growing using the DWC method don't really specify the specific light to plant ratio.
maybe I've been looking in the wrong places- a likely scenario as I'm fairly new to these forums...
...but anyway
I was curious to what the specific wattage and type of bulbs that would suit my 3 units the best. i need just what will be sufficient and nothing more as I'm on a bit of a budget, so I don't want to buy a 1000 watt if my plants would get enough light from a 600.
I really just don't know if plants grown in DWC units require more light or less.
I plan on spending around 200 hundo for the light setup... could i get an LED light that cheap that would work well for growing 3 plants SOG? as I know those tend to cause the energy bill not to sky rocket. or should I invest in CFL HID MH HPS AHHH I JUST DON"T KNOW! just want to get whats best.
I have about a 3 by 5 foot rectangle to work with if this helps.
