Hey guys,
Building a small perpetual scrog box for personal medical use.
Flower chamber currently has an Area 51 RW-75 LED light and the veg chamber has 8x 9w Cree bulbs (should have taken a photo of my light fixture I made with the 8 bulbs)
The box size is 2' x 1.5' x 6'
Here it is, almost complete:
(left photo shows the inner door panels that block light)
I had planned on adding at least 2-4x 9.5w Cree's to the flower chamber at canopy level and was gonna try to fit 2 more 9w Cree's in the veg chamber if I can (or possibly 2 larger bulbs,) but I've also been debating on fitting 2 or more of those big Cree floodlights in the flower chamber.
I've heard after about 25-30w per sq foot you get diminishing returns, but the way I see it is more light is more light, better yield, right?
So what do you guys think? I'm not about to make my own LEDs yet, so for now I'm sticking to LED bulbs and/or online purchases of LED lights.
I can't fit much more in the way of actual LED grow lights, but definitely can manage some more Cree bulbs. Just not sure if it will be wasted energy, or which bulbs to get (flood bulbs or more 9.5 watters)
I'm hitting about 25w per sq foot as of now.
Thoughts?
Thanks guys
