2, or would only 1 be more suffecient?well reflective materials doesnt have nothing to do with wattage, what reflection does is squeeze the most out of ur light sistem, so u have 156w well fixxed. how many plants u got???

So whats the minimum/good amount of wattage used for 2?you have enuf light for one medium sized plant but not for two
the standard for tubes or cfl is 75 watts per square ft of growing space.So whats the minimum/good amount of wattage used for 2?
Square foot or cubic foot?the standard for tubes or cfl is 75 watts per square ft of growing space.
trick question. you want 4 sf x 75 wattsSquare foot or cubic foot?
If I have a grow box that's 2 x 2 x 2... Will I want 8cf x 75w? Or just the 2sf x 75w?
more light equals more bud, but watch out for high tempsSo.. to put this in my real terms.. My box is 24"x14"x48"(tall)
I only need to worry about the 24"x14"... So slightly over 2 sq ft?
Damn, I only need 150watts....
I am planning (i think) on 6-8 42watters... (252w-336w)
Does that mean my plant will be twice as badass?
Yeah.. thats the thing.. I think I will have a prob with those. My idea for countering is to have the lights ON during the night hours. My house cools at least 10 degrees all around inside -- if not more -- at night.more light equals more bud, but watch out for high temps
sure - although i think most people who use frozen bottles put them inside the grow area with a fan blowing the cold air aroundYeah.. thats the thing.. I think I will have a prob with those.

Daytime will be sleepy time for my plants.
If I have any other heat probs my next plan was to keep about 10 frozen water bottles in rotation (20 in all) and just surround my box with a frozen water bottle forrest everyday...
Of course I have a 4" 80CFM exhaust... and an oscillating fan...
Think all of that could work out?
HAHAHA! I see how I wrote that incorrectly! HAHA I mean surround the INSIDE of the box... Not the outside!!! lolsure - although i think most people who use frozen bottles put them inside the grow area with a fan blowing the cold air around
yea, figured you knew but i hate to assume on this site as i;ve seen some pretty nutty ideas.HAHAHA! I see how I wrote that incorrectly! HAHA I mean surround the INSIDE of the box... Not the outside!!! lol
