250w HPS for how many plants?

[Joey<3weed]

Hello, Ive been trying to figure out my new setup, so ive asked alot of questions recently lol..but i have another one. I'm getting a GL60, the dimensions are 2x2x5'3feet tall and im also getting a 250w hps air cooled light. I was wondering how many plants i would be able to grow under that light in that space? I am also only going to be growing autoflowering plant for my first couple of grows, so how many plants could i fully grow? The most i would do would be 4 at a time, but i think i would only do 2 because of the space limitation..tell me what you think?

I dont think I could fit a 400w in there without it getting too hot, so only a 250w.

I would reccomend 2 plants with that setup. I would not veg them for 2 long because if the get too tall I dont think that 250 will give you a whole lot of penetration to the bottom of the plants.

I am only growing autoflowers, so how ever long those vegged for would be how long i would have to veg for

In that case you may be able to fit 4 in there depending on the strain you choose.

10 minus the 9 characters this post requires so 1. 1 is the loneliest number that you will ever do. 1 will do better. 2 can be done
and hey 10 is doable if you like 1 bowl per plant.

Same setup here and I can fit one plant in there. I also added another 250 watter for better light coverage check link in my sig.

10 plants in a 4 square foot tent is wayyyy too many.

this is only 150 watts of HPS
