I am wanting to run 4k watts in a 9x13 grow room. I will have a mini 2 ton mini split and 4 large 1k adjust a wings. I currently use a 9x9 room with 2k watts scrog style, ebb & flow system 2.5 gal and 12-15 plants. Will this new setup be efficient or worth it (jumping from 2k watts to 4k and only gaining 4 extra feet)?

yield and density will increase. Is that worth it?

You really need to figure in, How much higher will your yield be? and Will it cover the cost of expanding?(including gear[lights, nutes, medium, containers, ect.] and utility costs.)

No sense in expanding and spending money you won't get back. Right?


No expert here but that's my opinion.

Good luck

Thats what I am trying to figure out. The only thing that is going to cost me is two new ballast and two new hoods. Everything else I already have. I am just not sure if I cut down my plant count to 4 per 1k watt will I actually gain yield. Right now I run 6 or 7 per 1k light.

Your way under the 50w per square foot.

I've grown 12x8 space with 4400 watts plenty of times. An been very happy with the out come.

Want to veg for very long time as well if only doing that amount of plants.
