How many grams with 4000w?

[Porky101]

Hey guys... I was thinking,

Which would be best setup : 4x 1,000w 4x4 spaces.

Or 4x 1000w in a 16x16 space?

How much can you grow with with that much light??

 

[racerboy71]

well, one gram per watt, a pretty lofty goal for someone who's never grown, or for a new setup which has yet to be dialed in, would yield you 4000 grams, or half a per watt, would yield 2000 grams..

 

[rkymtnman]

plus/minus about a pound.

Do you mean 4, 4x4 rooms or one 8x8 room?

 

[GardenGnome83]

About a pound
Or 8

i don't understand what you're asking, do you mean 4 smaller rooms with a 1k in each room, versus 1 larger room with 4 evenly spaced lights?
i'd go for the larger room, 16x16 might be a little large for the lights, i think i'd go more like 14x14, or even 12x12. set the lights up with just a slight overlap and go to town.
the 4 separate rooms would give you more flexibility, but the big room would muscle out more per month, imo.

I think a 10x10 with 2 feet in between each 4x4 section.

The guys on space station are getting 0 grams per watt. Are you growing in space? If so, 0 grams.

 

[weedemart]

the 16x16 area is better.

you can yield 4pound+ , it depend ....

they don't need no watts, they got the sun just over their shoulders

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

and we're all growing in space......yeah...think about that....

 

[Bugeye]

0 grams per sun. Gravity of situation becoming clear.

tie a string to the pot and spin it around

I've got perlite floating everywhere at the moment, no time for your silliness.

4 rooms at 4x4 ----> equals --->1 room at 8x8. Let's start with proper dimensions.

Now that we've figured out the actual sizes we are comparing we can move on to the question at hand. There's always more than 1 factor in growing. Technically it should be equal. But comparing a single room with a single light will ALWAYS be easier to cool. So there could be cost savings by using individual rooms (cooling costs). 4 lights in 1 room is much harder to maintain an even temperature. More A/C or more fans pulling in cold outdoor air.

On the other hand if you have 4 lights in a single room you could probably get away with a SLIGHTLY larger area. Because in the center area where it has light on both sides can be used to expand the GROW area slightly because that area with over lapping light coverage gets a greater amount of PAR watts what it would on the perimeter of a single lights perimeter. In other words you might be able to have a single area of 10x10 as someone mentioned above. Especially if you rotate your plants. Not only individually but also around the grow area.

HOOD SELECTION IS ALSO IMPORTANT. Larger rooms you want to be using a raptor or something similar.

 

[john0000]

Little over a pound

 

[GOLDBERG71]

the 16x16 area is better.

4 lights for a 16x16?? Get your pop corn here!

A metric shit ton

I wouldn't space exactly evenly. If you measure from each corner 4x4 and centering on that ----> leaving a larger space to the center in BOTH directions I'm in full agreement.
