Nine 1000watt Or 12 600watt For A 13x24 And 12ft Tall

[RIVIR]

Like I say on the post I have nine 1000 W lights and or 12 600 W I can't make up my mind because I'm hearing different things about lumens 600 compared to the lumens on a 1000 you can add more 600s where the thousands would be not sure what I should go with I have to 800 BTU air-conditioners well enough CO2 and a 12 inch intake bring in as much fresh air as possible and a dehumidifier just in case and I planned on doing about 60 plants in 7 gallon pots any thoughts

600s will probably allow you to get closer to the canopy while giving good coverage.

How far do you keep them from your canopy

Go with the 600's they are much more efficient with the power they use than thouie's Not only that as someone else already mentioned you an place them closer to your canopy.

Having 12 600 W lights how would you set them up and how far apart just so I can get a rough idea how I could do it in my room like I said the room is is 13 x 23 any good ideas

That really depends on what hoods you get but i would say youre gonna end up with 3 rows of 4. If using umbrellas you can stagger them a bit but youre still gonna end up with 3 rows of 4 probably 3ish feet apart.

And dont forget that with foot print ratings from mfgr's such as 4 x 4' or whatever it is, you need to account for PAR/lumen weakness in the outer reaches of your single footprint. So in setting up your hoods you can let them over lap slightly so the outer reaches are well covered for bud development.

How do you even set up or wire all the lights, and would that be too much power?
