Are you thinking you can put 10,000watts of HID lights in there? Did I read that rite?
Buddy of mine does it with no hoods on them. 12 in a 12x12 room. More watts more yield from what I understand
Holy smoke! It wasn't a typo. There is a thing called diminishing returns, just so you know
Like I said I know 0 about indoor, I'm all outdoor, just trying to figure out a winter crop. But I live in Colorado figured winter temps and an ac would do the trick with an exhaust system but that's why I'm trying to figure out the led version so I can avoid the temps.Holy smoke! It wasn't a typo. There is such a thing as diminishing returns
Just curious, how are you planning to cool this room?
Swear out in Cali, where do u think I got the idea lol
I'm in cali, been doing this for almost 2-1/2 decades. Never, have i seen someone attempt that. Even if they were spanking the power.
And you will be golden!
Yeah the budget isn't the issue. It's just getting the most efficient set up I can for the space available.Four 1000w would be a perfect fit for a 10x10' space. Each 1kW lamp covers a 5x5' area.
To be honest, what I'd do personally is have two 1000w lamps, each on its own light-mover. I'd have two 8' long tables, 4' wide each (with two feet in between), and each lamp would move over its own table.
If you were going to buy 10 1000w lamps, you most definitely have the budget for such a wonderful setup (and the ventilation etc to go with it)

Yeah, he's got an outrageous power bill. But I'll plan on 6 instead then. Do you know anything about LED? Really want to run LEDs that will give me the same results or close. So much cheaper on power and don't gotta worry about the heatI'm in cali, been doing this for almost 2-1/2 decades. Never, have i seen someone attempt that. Even if they were spanking the power.
What you got to realize, is that each 1000w of light, is like a 1000w room heater. Can you imagine 10 of them in a 100sqft room?
You could air-cool the lights, and that would help but......,
Shoot for about 50-60watts per sqft
I have no personal experience with LED's yet. But from what I hear, they still don't come close to an hps.
Man I was really over doing it lol alright, wanna keep it as simple as I can so maybe LEDs after I figure out indoor.
You know, it has allot to do with skill and the strain/s your gonna rock. Newer OG type strains, I only average about 1.5lb per 1000w. Sometimes more
. Again, depends on strain.
Rather I believe him or not, I wouldn't doubt him.. You know nothing about him? Calling "bullshit" on somebody you don't low? No that's bullshit.. -.- don't bring some one down because you can't spend $2,000 on hps lights? Lol. Sorry I don't mean to be rude. Actually I do because you were rude to this man who is trying to get help.!!!!
1g per watt is what an experienced grower desires. Not often does a first or second time grower get.
Simple but still worth while. I don't believe there's such a thing as too much light, I think it's keeping the temps down. I'm an outdoor grower and we cant turn the sun off. But being said I don't want to get in over my head so I guess 4 lights will be a good starting point.
It's nice to see you included veg watts in the calculation. It's always bothered me that everyone forgot that veg was included, when calculating gpw first came to be. That's why I don't even usually speak the language of GPW any longer. Again, well done
