[bryan oconner]

budget it 2000 . setting this up for a friend . area is a 12 foot by 12 foot . 8 foot high . please post your suggestions with a link to the web site . our goal is to have this entire area covered with optimum led coverage .

With quality (Cree, Bridgelux, Citizen) COB style led lights you would need at the bare minimum 2880 watts, that is 20w per square foot. If you subtract the square footage of walkways, you might get away with less. If you are willing to build your own light fixtures would get over half of that room filled up. 20 watts to 40 watts per square foot is the range you should be looking at, depending on strain and grow style.

If your room is 144 sq ft and your lighting budget is only two grand, get HPS.

Come back with ten.

There is not one website for everything if you want to diy. Timber has good pre assembled lights and frames but to me that is not diy
I would figure out the floorplan and that will let you know how to have the lighting then the selection of cobs. I used the calculator and saw what was the most economical. Then it's just starting to piece the parts together.

O

A 100 watt power supply can power 1 or more it all depends on the leds you have and how hard you want to drive them.

Yeah. Great. I'll post what I will be buying . making my own to save some serious cash. . going with a lot of red and a few full spectrum .main purpose is to flower

 

[nevergoodenuf]

Does he grow more indica or sativa? What is the height of the room? Sativa and/or low head room, go with a 4000k to 3500k. Indica and/or tall ceilings, go with 3000k to 2700k. If you look close to the picture the 4000k kept the girls much shorter than the HPS. It formed a 10" step.

I am starting on mine right now and my flower room is 13x16 and I decided on 48 clu048-1818 @2.1a with smart timer dimming control for the drivers. I wanted to have sunrise and sunset control without using arduino because having 24 drivers to control you would have 4 different controllers for all the drivers and the main controller. I have not decided what to do for the veg yet I may try a quantum boards there.
