250 watt shop lights - Growroom Lighting - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

02-22-2006, 01:45 AM

i was thinking about adding another grow box and i can't afford expensive new light's i found some cheap 250 watt shop light's 8$ each the square kind if i got 4 of these would that work until i get better lighting or would it be over kill, any suggestions would be nice. i can make a nice tin foil hood

this is only my 2nd indoor grow. i usual grow to a few inches and head outside. my other box i run a 1000 watt with a ac and vent into my bedroom from the other room. my grow box houses 40 SOG plants so i was just wondering. if 4 250 shop lights would work with sexy tin foil hoods on each corner of the box.

150 of those would take much more than 25,000 btu fan, they get so incredibly hot it would most likely melt the paint off your walls.

the spectrum is the complete opposite of what is needed to grow marijuana.
