Hey all!
I am planning a medical growing and I'm kinda confused about the light setup I should go.
As for the available grow space, I have a surface of 140 inches by 136 inches. Ceiling of 100" (8ft4in) I want to build 2 RDWC of 60 inches by 120/130 inches
A 18k btu A/C will be installed. I wanted to follow the heisenbubble DIY RDWC (Thanks again for wonderful videos! Can't go wrong with that tutorial!
I was wondering what would be the best lights setup? I wanted to go with 4x 1000 watts DE but the guy at the store told me that my ceiling is too low for those lamps and that with a 18k btu A/C, there will not be enough cooling... I want to go scrog, so 13 inches is where the plant is started (bucket height)... I wanted to put the screen at around 16-17" over the 13 inches.. It brings me to 30" before flipping... I guess plants will grow between 50 and 65 inches (i know it depends on the strain but well...)
100 inches - 8 inches (PL lighting are 7" high) so 1 inch to secure it.. Highest point is 92" inches... A total space of 62 inches between the 30" and the 92"... Would it be enough distance for 1K DE?
Am I better using x 600 watts de? or maybe mix hps and cmh?
PS, I want to achieve the best yield possible, if I can go with one or 2 harvest each year and avoid summer season, that would be great!
All suggestions welcome!
Thank you!!
