I am re-designing my vertical room into a stadium and I wanted to know how to hang my lights. How far away should the furthest plant be? My guess a 3ft radius around the light would be considered optimum range? Or can they only pump out enough light to have a optimum range of 2ft radius?

"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Do it and start a thread....Set the bare bulbs @ 2 , 4 , and 6' and run plants on 3 walls instead of 2 for increased plant numbers and yield....
57+/- watts per sq ft sounds like a winner to me with environment dialed since the bulbs will easily blast sideways 3 ft and maybe lil more with reflectix bouncin lumens back at em from behind......Good luck and...

So that's where I got the idea that 1k lights could illuminate a 3ft radius. DHF seems to be pretty knowledgeable with the vertical stuff. I have some plans drawn to scale I will post later on. I have been struggling with vert because I have been trying pull off illuminating a 10x8ft grow space with only 2K. I now want to throw in one more light and build a stadium around it to get the best results. I would like to do exactly what DHF said to do with using three walls in the post above, instead of two. Please help!!
