This thread really belongs in the micro grows forum, so I will move it there if you don't mind ?
Now, size vs the wattage really is dependent on having adequate intake and exhaust so that the box doesn't become an oven instead of a grow space. Plus you'll need to consider the height of the space between the scrog screen and the light and have enough clearance for the soil container below the screen including the gap between the top of soil to the screen. You'll also need to account for a muffin fan or something to exhaust the box. To me it sounds too short height wise, even though most micro folks make their own reflectors for their lights etc.
But hey, some of the micro grow folks actually grow a in things as small as a mid tower pc case
Im goin to build a 2'wide X 17"long X 27"tall flower box, my ? is this box to small for a 150w HPS
NO is the answer. Check out the 150wattHPS club for answers to any question you may have.Im goin to build a 2'wide X 17"long X 27"tall flower box, my ? is this box to small for a 150w HPS
My medium will be soil and im gonna try scrog this time
The 2' wide... you'll find fluffier buds at the edges.... Just a wee bit far for a 150 to stretch the light that far. The 17 is perfect and the 27 will work, but will be a bit tight, depending on the strain you run.
Stay Safe!
Holy overkill batman, but props tho for doing it. You should get buds down to the dirt in that small area with that much wattage. Good luck
kool appreciate the advise and i'll be running purple lady from G13 labs and fluffy buds are cool but i want that compact filled with resin kind of buds
i know 150w is small but my guess is the smallest i can make my cabinet and fit everything the better chance i have of getting the buds i want.
and B-roni u have a hell of a set up i bet u get those king sized buds with that space
Small but do a great job for personal use.i know 150w is small but my guess is the smallest i can make my cabinet and fit everything the better chance i have of getting the buds i want.
