Lighting

How much light?

Having too much light for your grow space can severely inhibit yields and quality. Many growers seem tempted to push the wattage in an attempt to get a higher yield from their grow space however these attempts are repeatedly proven to be a waste of time and money.

There are a few reasons to use the ideal 'lumens per square inch' for your room:

• Increased Yield
• Increased Potency
• Increased Essential Oils
• Less Equipment Cost
• Less Electricity Cost

Simply put, too much light stunts growth and makes plants generally unhappy.

How much light to place is quite easy to determine using Cannaversity's Grow Room Light Calculator

How to place my light?

Each reflective hood generates a projection of light underneath it that creates a very specifically shaped light 'footprint' in which the 'lumens per square inch' are maximized for that ballast/hood arrangement.
