Lights are up. This is a 47.25 sq ft room (5.25x9). I am only going to be using 30 sq ft for growing (the door needs room to open). I have 1260 watts of CMH light for the 30 sq ft. Minimum recommended for CMH is 35 watts/sq ft to maximum of 50 watts/sq ft. I am at 42. With the lights set 5 feet up, I am getting 400 umols..ground level in the whole area. The umols rise as you go up..I am at about 1400 umols at 4 ft. My winter plants will never had this much canopy light coverage before. Will find out tomorrow if my temp during daylight goes crazy high. I am not sure yet how to cool without losing the CO2. Oops, I have not mentioned that yet.
