G'day
Just finalising my lighting for new growroom.
I'm growing in 4'8"x2' area. The whole thing is going to be scrog screen, 1 sativa or sativa dom hybrid and 1 indica. Although will eventually go down to 1 at a time.
I'm unsure what sort of light to be using. From what i've read 400w will be just under for my length so could supplement lighting. Was thinking the 400W hps with 1-2 18w 2700k and 2-3 18w 6500k (for flower) on the edges so i end up with about 3:1 red:blue for flower (will reverse everything for veg - mh instead of hps, 6500k instead of 2700k).
I'm trying to get 150w digital ballasts so i can run hps and mh. Do you think this would be a better solution then whats written above?
If I could only get 150w mh ballasts would this still be ok for flower and veg?
I'm happy to get a 600w (power and heat shouldn't be an issue - got good cooling) just don't want it to be overkill - i'd make sure to bend the screen to get an even canopy.
Thanks Again
