amount of plants per watts

how may plants would you recommend to put under 1000 watt

what ever you can get in a 8x8 area.

Primary light (no natural light) coverages for the different grow light wattages are as follows.

• 100 watt lights: 1.5FT x 1.5FT growing area
• 150/175 watt lights: 2FT x 2FT growing area
• 250 watt lights: 3FT x 3FT growing area
• 400 watt lights: 5FT x 5FT growing area
• 600 watt lights: 6FT x 6FT growing area
• 1000 watt lights: 8FT x 8FT growing area

Thanks stump . im sure that will help alot of people

i also would like to add i am using bio all mix soil about 2-3 litre a pot. ive herd it has nutrients for the first month and they look ok just some are drooping as i say. we are using bio grow and bio bloom ino how to work these but when is it safe to start using bio grow ,is ther enough nutrients for the first exact month or is it something of nothing and just a rough idea will do . thanks people im getting there

I find these to be the best bet as far as most effective...

250W - 2X2
400W - 3X3
600W - 4X4
1000W - 5X5 or 6X6 at most

While a 1000W bulb will decently cover an 8X8 area for clones or vegging plants, it's important to remember that it might not be as effective for flowering ones. You've got to keep in mind that if the bulb is centered in a 8X8 area then that means the outer plants are only receiving something like 5-10,000 lumens. For best results on growing buds you want something like 80-100,000 lumens over the canopies. Just my $.02

I would take a foot off that chart. I use a 400w in a basically a 4x4 grow area and that outside foot is a bit week.
but that chart is what the light manufacture puts out. lol so prove them wrong.
