What is optimal lighting for 6x10x7.5ft flower room

St0ricstarted grow question 3 years ago

What would be optimal lighting for coverage in my 10ft×6ft×7.5ft flower room, 2 600w led blurples and 2 600w hps really doesn't cut it and I want to upgrade asap to avoid future overcrowding

I use the calculation of 30W per square foot. So for a 6x10 you need 1800W. Add another 600W HPS and you will be fine. Although, This will cause more power costs. Add a high wattage LED and improve you spectrum exponentially. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

Starting photos indoors for June transplant Want to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwise

Nanners?Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering? The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds. Thanks in advance

Auto and regular plants in one box.I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?
