How Big Of mother, what size space, etc etc etc

Edit: 15wpsf of quality leds will veg just fine, maybe lower for a mum. My light runs 50-80w in 3.4sq ft(slightly smaller than a 2x3)

I have a 2 ft square by 4 ft tall with a 4 inch Attwood exhaust with two 4 inch inlets... I keep moms or clones in veg using a 300 watt led. So in one room I can get it all dona as the rest of the room is for flowering.

What kind of led are you using? Off the shelf or diy? Spectrum?

Here's the one I use. Didn't want to invest a lot for a trial run.

I recently bought 8 CXA1507 18V (4x 5000K H2 & 4x 6500K H4) and will run them at 210-300mA.
As for the efficiency, they will give me about 150-160 lm/W and 4600-6200 lumens in total @2 sq ft for two of my bonsai moms drawing 32-46W from the wall.

All together, I paid ~$60 for the COBs, holders, a driver and heatsinks.
