5x5 tent, 6 plants, all different strains, scrog, xxxl hood, 600w hps. 12-18 inches. I am getting about 1gpw with this setup. I am starting to think I can go smaller on the watts. Or take long breaks between grows. 100% personal.
Shit Herb..5x5 12 to 18 inches I think I need a new hood! BTW I am using The yeildmaster hoods and am kinda dissapointed with the spread.5x5 tent, 6 plants, all different strains, scrog, xxxl hood, 600w hps. 12-18 inches.

Damn Bullfrog has popped in. Thanks... That does make sense.. I may have to try raisin a bit and see what happens. Thanks again for stoppin by Bullfrogok guys, I don't have time to crunch the numbers but it depends on your wattage and distance. Inverse square law in order to find your spread. For example, 1000 watt light at 1ft away is 1000w per ft. Now you take that same bulb, and move it 2ft away. Now you have 4 times the floor coverage, hence the inverse square law. Now you have 250w per sq ft. Now move that bulb 3 ft away and you get 16 sq ft. So 16sq ft divided into 1000w is about 62w per sq ft. I believe you want at least 30w per sq ft, and no more than 50 is needed indoors. I could be wrong about that last part. I know Jorge Cervantes and Ed Rosenthal explain this in detail in their books, I am going off memory.
