Depends on footprint per plant.. 12x20 greenhouse and I do 15 (5x3) try to allow a 4x4 footprint.. also depends on wattage

Is that LxWxH
I would probably do 3 x 6 table with a 3 x 3 on the end. Total length 9 feet
You could do four Rows
That would be 2 feet apart from each table and one foot off the walls
You could do three lights per row Total of 12 lights that would be a pretty good set up

I was planning on running 2 rows of lights one down each side over my trays with a walk way down the middle might end up going 12w x30l x 12 h

Anyone have any experience with Solistek Ceramic Metal Halide. I been real happy with my digital solistek's but always looking to lower energy consumption without sacrificing spectrum. Been using 600 mh for veg then switch to 600 hps for first four weeks of flower then switch to 1000 dual arc to finish. Just wondering if stepping back to the lower sign waves is actually moving forward, the lumens and par seem reasonable with a lot less energy. Thanks
