  • A 250 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 2.5 foot by 2.5 foot grow area. (6 plants or less)
  • A 400 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 4 foot by 4 foot grow area. (12 plants or less)
  • A 600 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 5 foot by 5 foot grow area. (18 plants or less)
  • A 1000 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 6.5 foot by 6.5 foot grow area. (30 plants or less)
well hope this helps bro
happy growings

o this is my set up from begging to end lol im going to get 1 seed of skunk #1 and 1 seed of g13 haZe Im going to get organic soil with not nutes from fox farm with a ph content of 7.5 with fox farm nutes the 3 pack. im going to also get perlite and do 80% soil with 20% perlite and going to put the seed directly into the soil I heard its better that way to naturally do it.THen get that 400watt light veg for 8 weeks then go into flowering and in the last 2 weeks put 2 teaspoons of molasses into the water to get bigger buds and oh only use nutes 3 times a week but for not the first 2 weeks of grow and only water when soil is dry sound good?
