OK - Well here goes . . . What I would do is break down what you want to grow into 4x4 foot sections to make it easier. Then for each section you would grow 5 plants. Now, for a hobbyist grow, each 4x4 section would use 4x90w LEDs while for a professional/industrial grow you would use 4x180W LEDs. Testing has shown that using this formula with our lights can get you a 30-50% increase in yield over the equivalent HPS light in each section (600W to 1000W respectively). So all together, by following this equation, you would use 4 lights per section and have a total of 10 - 4x4 sections to accommodate all 50 plants.

Hi Chicken Grower –

Can you first tell me how big your plants will be (height/width) on average when ready? Have to make sure there is enough space for your plants first, then determine how many lights you need.

Thanks,
Mathew

Hi Matt - With this sized space, I would recommend going with 4 x 180W lights. These lights will more than take care of your growing space from start to finish. Right now they are on back order till 9/7 however, if you put in your order before August 28th you will get $100 off of each! Get more information on this deal here . . .

hi there,
I have approx room of 2mx2m and 2.5 h and i was trying to work out how many 90w or 180w leds I would need..I have been told i would need 9 x 90w or even 9x 180w UFO’s and am a bit concerned at the price of all these..so am not sure whether to keep the current 2x 600w that i currently have going until i can afford this large amount of UFO’s..

Artie –

They may work a *little.* Grow lighting is specially designed to emit light in particular ranges that are most beneficial for photosynthesis. White light contains *all ranges – 85% of which do little or nothing for plant growth . . . so it is very inefficient. In addition, white light puts no emphasis on the most important spectra of blue, red, and orange which is where plants get the most benefit for photosynthesis. I would not spend the money on them as it would likely be a waste.
