4x4 area using Chinese Spider Farmer and Phlizon cob 2000w took 3 2000w or 1100 actual watts to hit a 4x4 area every inch with proper par levels. You get what you pay for.. I could of used less lights for sure but the par meter doesn't lie

Thanks I could run veg no prob with the 2 cobs but planning ahead to flower time currently at 30 inch now I get 400-600 par reading over the entire area. Unfortunately the Cobb's are hot..temps a bit of a bitch to control upgrading exhaust fan and installing a intake fan it's a 8x4 tent so still have another 4x4 area to cover lol 3 spider would do as well just have to run closer distance over the cobs...this set up hit the sweet spot.

Thats my biggest problem and I run 25% of the lighting you do. My intake is a filtered 400cfm fan, exhaust matching 400cfm fan with a booster attached to the carbon filter to negate the additional resistance in that line... I can maintain a 3 degree Celsius range in there 24 hours a day with no actual environmental controller but it requires periodic fine tuning.

You're going to need to move some big air in flower. Its going to be amazing when you dial it in!!!

Yeah lucky my buddies a hvac guy he getting me a fatty inline fan with humidity and temp control. The room/basement sits around 18/20 degrees so once I pump in that and take out a ton hopefully ingest her dialed in

@Tech4523, I'm jumping in on an old thread. I'm interested in how you arrive at the 400-600 PAR readings. Measured from what height? Thanks
