Building a 1 plant 32 gallon garbage can mini grow room. Need to figure out the lighting

I use a par meter to gauge the quality of lightning. I am extremely pleased with this light so far. The par is awesome it seems durable and gets great reviews. If the par readings fall off, I'll be pissed, but as of now they're rockin

I use a hydro farm par meter. I was quoting the umol measurements. My par reading for that light is accurate as far as i know. I also grow salt water corals. lightning is extremely important there as well.

For the record, I've used a Mars Hydro TS 600 in a 2x2 cabinet for 2 different auto grows and I managed to pull a little over a gram per watt (dry) each time.

Im actually thinking about the 2000 or 3000w mars. Im wanting to grow 6-8 plants instead of 2-4. I have gorilla glue autofem and zkittlez autofem cooking now actually.

The only place where watts matter is your electric bill and fixture ratings. When looking for a grow light. You need to look at lumens, K, and par. The wattage is irrelevant

I don't think anyone understood what I meant. I'm using the trashcan as a micro grow room. Like a space bucket, but bigger.

I'll probably put the plant into a 3 or 5 gallon fabric pot which then goes into the trash can.

In other words, everything will be inside the 32 gallon can. The plant, the lights, the fans, etc. The can is taking the place of a grow tent.
