Is 3600 watts too much?..... Ideas, concerns, suggestions, etc.

Is 3600 watts too much for a 6x6 Aeroponic Co2 induced @ 1500 ppms grow op? 100 watts per square foot....

Yes, anything over 75 watts per square foot can bleach your plants according to Jorges... I've seen it first hand, straight up white tips on the buds (I hear it is basically inactive too, don't quote me on this though)

I assume its HID rt? IMO a little overkill 50wpsqt is what i use.Better have some sun glasses when you check on em

I read that 75 to 100 watts per sq ft is the base for an co2 enriched grow space. Just need some advice on the subject. Cooling the space mayb the biggest issue. An yes if was going with 3 1000w hps plus 1 600w hps. This is all for my flowering room though.

There is a point of too much light a plant can handle or need.but you need to find someone smarter than me or google it!!

you would be better off with 4x600w in that space.
i run 3kw on 38sqft and its just a bit to much.

Is your flower room separate from your veggie room? Is your room CO2 induced with a controller? The reason for such a high wattage is because the CO2 makes the plant intakes twice as much nutrients and works twice as hard. (At least that's what i read) Im just trying to see this theory proved before I go out and spend $3500 on a new grow op.
