Right light for my space?

[flipflop64]

I have a 23 x 39 inch space and I am planning on buying a 240W quantum board.
Does this have a proper illumination for this space? Because they are way cheaper then the samsung strips.

thanks in advance

Your space is 23"x 39", about six and a half square feet. You want a minimum of 30 watts per square foot to flower.

6.5 x 30 = 195 watts minimum. A 240w board (hopefully with a dimmer) would do the trick.

The only issue I see is with coverage. A 320 watt quantum board would cover the area better, three foot heatsink. The boards run more efficiently and last longer if you run them at 80% or less. You could run a 320w board at 80% power, put 260 watts over 6.5 square feet, 40watts per square foot. Bingo bango.

I run 4 100 watt to 135 watt single Boards as opposed to a single450 watt as I can adjust height and position of each. Very versatile.

Yeah coverage is not perfect. This is a low budget grow tho. So the duo board has to be enough

You don’t have to do everything at once

I’ve got 3 ferry Morse 1000 lumen high output leds that are 2 feet long for a 24”x24” grow space with a total WATT of 72w altogether
