9 x 13 grow room advice

**Xl2m8os** · 23-05-16, 04:51 AM

I am thinking that I need 6 1000 lights. Considering I am only growing for me, I have been thinking my room is too big. I have a 9 x 13 room with 8 feet ceilings so I can grow at least 5 foot plants. My original thoughts were to have a plant every 3x3 area. Again, I am a beginner so my calculations of my needs may not be right. I don't want to scrofula. White widow is the strain I have. I have a hydroponic setup and getting ready to purchase the rest of the lights and some air flow devices. Do u guys feel 6 1000 watt lights are overkill?

I must not understand. A 9x13 room is 117 square feet. Multiply that by what a square for require-50 watts per square feet is what i read is recommended. That comes to 5,850 watts for a 9x13 room. That would require 6 1,000 watt lights. What is it I am missing on my calculations?

Why are you referring to square feet? - The height of the room is pretty much irrelevant...

Generally, 100 watts per plant buddy.

Correct me if I'm wrong.😆

Ignore me, getting confused with cubic feet

i see one of your earlier posts saying this is your first time growing... i would say 9 plants 6000wts and a hydroponic system probably isnt the best way to go for your first grow mate.
