basically a metere squared.. so you can look straight up on a DLI chart -- upto 45 without CO2 and 65 with. minimum you want 500umol/s to bloom in that area.. preferably closer to 1,000. 3.5*3.5 = 12.25... 10.764 ft^2 = m^2 so 1000 * 12.25/10.764 = about 1140umol/s as your ceiling. This is theoretical and also likely slightly higher than what you want, so it probably evens out about right. 500* 12.25/10.764 = about 570. This is for 12 hours of bloom. If you only do autoflowers you can concentrate on a 18-24 hour length. With 50% or more hours, you take off 33%. So.. Min 570 *.66 = about 380umol/s max 1140 * .66 = about 750 umol/s you provide that over 18 hours to an autoflower without adding CO2 and that's as good as you can get without harming your plant. Don't go below ~400umol/s for this area over 18hours. If you add co2 to 1300-1400ppm.. your max over 12 hours is now 1500umol/s per m^2... same minimum.
