Caly Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi All, So I’m increasing the size of my grow space from 2 x 2.4 to 2.4 x 3, increasing from 8 plants to 12, would I need to add an additional light from 2 x 600w hps to 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I reckon you'd want 4. That space is bigger than 4 1.2m² tents for reference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went LED what would you recommend for that space, if you know of course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgrowlights-Adam Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 If you're only running 1200w in a 2mx2.4m then it's not running at optimum. Really you should have atleast 4x 600w hps in there minimum. Upgrading the area won't do anything but take up more space. If anything density would certainly go down. I'd forgot the bigger area and buy more lights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my budget I could afford to add another 600w hps, but I’d need to look at the numbers again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caly Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 @mikeydoughnut personally mate if I’m going to spend insane amounts on electricity and only grow in spring/summer I’d just as well upgrade to LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On almost 24/7 Can you recommend an LEDs I could look into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
