hey there everyone! ive got a quetsion about lighting.
my space is 2x3 feet, by 5 feet high.
i currently have 1 96x3 mars hydro LED there. the drawing wattage is around 180W. (30W per sq ft)
so i want to add some more wattage for floweirng.
however the only other light i have on hand here is a 400W HPS.
if i add the 400w hps to my led, ill have around 96W per sq ft.
is that too much? ive tried googling this topic but have found many different ideas.
the rooms heat is around 65F during day, and 58F at night. so if i added the HPS, it would make the room probly around 80F im thinking, which is awesome. and at night it would be back down to around 60f in the room. which is a 20deg difference.
does it seem better to continue the grow with or without adding the 400w hps?
thnks!
