So I'm starting my set up for the veg room to get a spring crop going. I've never set up anything inside so could use some advice. I have 3 400w and 3 600w lights in a 12x15 room to veg 75 plants in. Will this be enough room for the plants? And is that enough light for that many plants and size room?

I'm thinking you are on the edge of cutting it close. You have 180 ft sq. so that equals 2.4 ft sq per plant that works. But actually at first you will prob only use half of that to veg, 90. So your six lights should cover an area of about 60 ft sq. Using the 50w per sq ft you will get about 60 ft sq out of that so stretch the lights out a bit, and it's only for veg. Let us know, just my quick math.

So maybe do 9 lights instead? I have 4 2 ft fluorescent lights as well. Maybe I could space those between them?
