2k with light movers or 3k with none

[Guest 168361]

what will give the best yield 2k on light movers or 3k without them? They will be lighting up a 4x8 space. both would be using air cooled lights

2kw stationary is really all you can do with that. 3K is too much for a 4x8 IMO. Can you go any bigger than 4x8?

 

[Guest 168361]

the room is larger than 4x8 so yea. i am gonna go bigger. i was doing 2k on a light mover before but the yield was shitty so i was thinking of ditching the mover to get more height and more light

I have never used a light mover, but I have been thinking about buying one lately. Obviously the more light you have the better if you have the room and adequate cooling. I vote go 9x9 or so with 4k if you can

3k is my vote

50w per sq/ft

50w per sq/ft

no point using more than 50w per/sq/ft unless using co2.
lol twice in 30 years of growing ive used light movers then taken them down .A

Are you planning on air cooling the lights on the mover? Thats what i did but it was a huge pain in the ass... If youre not worried about temps thus not needing to air cool the lights... i would say light mover for sure.

It wasn't all that hard to hook up a mover & ducting. I use it, works great for me.

In that setup it looks like it works wonderful... but ducting not coming down/up to the ceiling / multi lights / moving further distance was a pain in the ass. Eventually the ducting would rip

TY. What kind of ducting did you use.? Was it reinforced or regular. I ask because the reinforced seems to be holding up like a champ while I had nothing but bad luck with regular stuff constantly ripping.
