400w in a tight space

[Buddyholly101]

Hi RIU, i recently aquired a 400w mh workshop light and have played with it so ita now a seperate ballast and lamp, my question is will 2.8 ft of height be to short to grow a few 12 inch plants? Also my room is 1.5x1.8x2.8 if that helps

Thanks heaps.

Considering your pot will take up nearly 12", yes you need more height. Double at least.

Can I grow 17 plants in a shoebox? I have a 1000w hps and no fans

You only have 2.7 sqft to light, 400 watts is way overkill. Put a quantum board in there

Absolutely! Add another 1000 watts and you'll be rocking.
