What watt Hps light should i get???

what watt Hps light should i get for a 2.5' by 3.5' grow closet?


i use a 1000 watt Hps for my bigger 4'by4' but i have no clue would a 400 watt work fine?

Though the 400w HPS I got for my set up is working GREAT (3 x 3)... I wish I had gone with the 600w. I'm using the Sun System - Yield Master II hood/reflector and my plants love it about four to six inches over head. I wanted a Son Agro bulb. But, my Hydro shop was out of them an sold me on an Eye Hortilux which is also color corrected like the Son Agro. I'll order a Son Agro to replace it being that it's 30% less expensive.

Hope that helps.


EDIT: Sorry, I missed the word 'closet' there. 400w unless you have good ventilation.

I'm second guessing my self on the whole 'closet' aspect again... Can you post photos?

I think a 250w HPS system would be perfect for your grow space.

yeah i have really good ventilation
im using the old shit i had from when i used to grow
(the pic) that was like 2 years ago but i still have all the fans and carbon filter and stuff so yea
i will post picx soon

5-7000 lumens per sq foot is all you need3x3 400w, 4x4 5x5 6x6 600w waste of electricity with no benifit with a light any biggr than 7000 per sq ft
