Hi, I am doing a stand up freezer grow. My dimensions inside are 24" x 22" x 48". I am new to indoor growing and I am unsure which light to get for this grow. do you think the 205 Penetrator would be too much for this space. I am hoping to cram 4 or possibly 5 plants of the following in this box. I am still in the construction phase of this and am planning on 50 - 60 cfm exhausting to a carbon scrubber. I will be using soil as well. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have yet to grow w/ LED's so just going off of reading internet pages and forums I would guess you could get away with a 90w ufo

The 126w unit from the same company, "claims" it does an 18" x 30" area. That's about the same square footage.

18" x 30" = 3.75 square feet.
24" x 24" = 4 square feet.

I'm planning my own setup, for an 18" x 30" area.. SoG with 6 rows of 3 plantlets each. The panel is (so far) 12" x 24".. leaves 3" either edge of the light to the walls. I'm basing my wattage on the 126w unit, and with the spectrums and ratios I'm trying for.. it's 127w.
