Dual 150w VS. Single 250w

[Bandit125]

I have a small growspace and I am debating between using two 150w HPS units and a single 250w HPS unit.

I will have 4 plants at the most and my area is 48"x20"x60".

Thanks for any assistance.

U will get better coverage with two 150w then with one 250w. The thing is itll cost more to run the 150s.

Your grow room square footage is a little over 3'6", 48"x20". The last measurement is height and only needed for cubic feet measurement. This is important when deciding on intake/exhaust fans sizes. You want to give your plants between 30-50 lumens per sg ft so lets go with 50 lumens x's 3.6' =180wts. Either lamps would work but you would get better coverage with the dual 150's as was mentioned, hope this helps...
