So my room is 7X7. I am going to put reflective sheet on walls and ceiling and white floor. I was planning 20 plants.
I do photography and have some nice lights that are:
2-4 bank CFL 5500K temp 32 watts each and:
2-3 bank 250watt 3200K
The 4 bank would give me 8K lumens
The 3 bank would give me 24K lumens.
I figured run the 5500k for first 3-4 weeks 18 hours per day.
then start running one of the 3200k for 4 weeks, then just 2-3 bank lights for final flower.
The nice thing is the lights have reflective umbrellas behind them and do not overspot the bulbs, i figure lights 12 inches above plants.
Any input?
PS> room not quite finished, have to figure out a way to control temp and air flow.
